They Don?t Like Peeps
2008-02-22 15:44:00 I tried to do photos for the Easter card this morning. I was going to use peeps to get the kids to stay in one place. The candy trick worked quite well with the Valentine’s Day lollipops. Unfortunately, they didn’t like peeps. More About: Photos , Months
School, Week 2
2008-02-22 02:22:00 This was a short week because Monday and Tuesday were school-free days thanks to President’s Day. School remains trauma free. J doesn’t like me to leave but I can’t even get from the door to the one-way-mirror, which is all of 2 steps away, before he is happily running around having forgotten ...

Sweet 16 Again and 18 Month Sleep Regression
2008-02-19 02:30:00 J now has all 4 canines for a total of 16 teeth. Now, if the 18-month-sleep-regression would just pass he might stop getting up every 2 hours all night long. Even F is getting up more - maybe 2 - 3 times a night. There are nights I am up every hour. ... More About: Sweet , Sleep , Regression , Months , Month
It?s a Slumber Party in Here
2008-02-19 02:22:00 Bouncing, giggling, jumping up and down while laughing. You can bounce really high on a crib mattress. Bopping each other. J will stand with his back to the front of his crib and lean so he can look out into the room backwards. Pillows get tossed to the floor and back ...

Independence
2008-02-18 00:48:00 Tonight at dinner J made it very clear that he wanted to drink from him cup WITHOUT the sippy lid on it. Once she saw him drinking from a “regular” cup F insisted on following suit. They both managed to drink all their juice sans sippy lid and (mostly) sans spillage. F ...

Excellent!
2008-02-17 19:42:00 CableGirl, who has clearly lost her mind, awarded me this cool thingy. Now I get to award it to ten other people who will in turn award it to ten other people and soon everyone in the whole world, even people without computers, will have one. But, with no further ado (in alphabetical order): Bad ... More About: Excellent

In Which I Am A Judgmental Bitch
2008-02-16 16:00:00 If you are the sort of person who wants to go to an animated French film about the Islamic Revolution in Iran I would have thought you would be savvy enough to know that said movie is not appropriate for an 8-year-old. Alas, I would have been wrong. More About: Bitch
School This Week
2008-02-15 04:28:00 Today was the kids’ third day of “school” as yesterday was a snow day. Snow days, by the way, feel very different from the parent’s perspective; they are not nearly as nice. J had a little separation anxiety for the first time and didn’t want me to leave. He was distracted ... More About: School , Montessori , Week , Months
Well, That Didn?t Work
2008-02-14 02:23:00 F is still biting. Today J came running up to me sucking on his hand and crying. When I looked at his thumb there was a tooth ring from where she had bitten him. After his tears had wound down to sniffling I asked if he would like a treat and he ... More About: Work , Months
Purple Tutu
2008-02-13 15:59:00 We won this tutu in the great bloggy giveaway from Zoe’s Couture Boutique. I tried really hard to get a good photo of F in it but she was far more interested in climbing up one side of my bed and sliding down the other side than in being agreeable about the camera. ...

First Day of School
2008-02-12 02:33:00 Today was as close to the first day of school as we are going to get. I mean, when is it if not today? When they start the Primary (preschool) program? They will have already been at this school in the toddler room for a year and a half at that point. ... More About: Photos , School , Montessori , Months
Montessori, Day 2
2008-02-08 18:34:00 Today was our second “trial day” at the Young Children’s Community at the Cobb School, Montessori . I brought the kids to their classroom and then said goodbye and watched them for 45 minutes through the one way mirror. I can say that separation anxiety is not an issue. They will continue their transition on Monday when ... More About: Months
Tonight Sucks
2008-02-07 08:38:00 It is 2:30 AM. I have been up for 2 hours with screaming babies. One settles and 10 minutes later the other wakes up. I’ve had to walk away before I scream “Shut up and go to sleep!” Did I mention I’m sick too? I’ve been blowing bloody snot out my nose for ... More About: Sleep , Tonight , Sucks , Months

Drinking the Montessori Kool-Aid, Day 1
2008-02-01 19:27:00 I was a bit worried that the kids, particularly J, wouldn’t adjust to school. That worry was wasted energy. Today was their first preview day at school and to say they took to it is an understatement. After all, there was a sink! A very small low sink just ...

Potty Training - Take One
2008-01-29 21:55:00 I have started potty training F. We have potties and Once Upon a Potty. She spent quite a while sitting on the potty this afternoon then peed within minutes of getting off. She has, however, clearly made some connections and after she poops she frowns and points to her diaper and goes ... More About: Training , Potty Training
Thank you for the Great Hats
More articles from this author:2008-01-27 02:46:00 They weren’t that in to posing for the camera in these but LOVED taking them on and off. “Hat” is one of F’s few consistent words these days.
