  “I’m waiting for my teeth.”

  One of the cutest and worst things to happen to a child is losing and waiting for their two front teeth to come in.

  Every week, for homework, Xander is asked to write sentences for a few words that are pre-determined. This week, “waiting” and “midnight” were two of the words.

  Here are his sentences:

  

  If you can’t understand his chicken scratch (I keep telling him his teachers won’t accept messy homework after 1st Grade), they say:

  “I’m waiting for my teeth.”

  “I ate before midnight.”

  I am proud of these sentences because I think his toothless grin is amazing, plus, Richard Linklater’s BEFORE MIDNIGHT comes out soon. Anything remotely relative to the love that Linklater, Delpy and Hawke have created is awesome.

  “Is it video camera or picture?” -Xander, Aged 6

  BEASTS.

  It is 5:01 PM on the 30th of November, 2012 and I mark the 6th year of my Xander’s existence in this beautiful universe.

  My soul is filled with love and happiness as I listen and dance to the BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD soundtrack after experiencing incredible cinema last night at LACMA as a pre-birthday gift to my Xi.

  We sat front and center and there was a Q&A moderated by Elvis Mitchell with Benh Zeitlin, Quvenzhané Wallis, Dwight Henry, Lucy Alibar, Ben Richardson & Dan Romer. We were excited. After the Q&A, he approached Quvenzhané, the star of the film, and I got this incredible photo:

  

  Tell me this is not one of the happiest and most genuine smiles you have ever seen?

  This boy is going to experience so much with me, and I am so honored to be by his side to see life through his eyes.

  Happy Birthday, Xander, my everlasting love.

  I just like seeing women naked in films. I like that anytime. I like seeing girls naked in movies. But I really like seeing all different shapes and sizes. Not just super hot girls. Which I do like, too, but I also like, I like them all. It’s nice to get a variety.
