Another Poop Post
2008-03-09 17:58:00 Today J tugged at his pants trying to get them down. After I helped him take them off he sat on the potty and, after a rousing rendition of Once Upon a Potty he pooped in the potty. More About: Post , Poop
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
2008-03-07 21:12:00 I have become a Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep volunteer photographer. Or, rather, I am in the process of doing so. I’ve been approved, I’ve paid my membership fee and I have registered for the forum. That registration has to get manually approved and then I have to sort through ...
Ad for LLL of CT Conference
2008-03-07 03:20:00 Just tell me its wonderful because I bought space at the last minute and have no time to change anything.

Things to Remember
2008-03-06 03:22:00 J climbs into his car seat when we go to school in the morning he is so eager to get there. Yesterday when I was picking the kids up I asked F to go get her coat. She was far more interested in climbing all over me and ignored me but J went and got ... More About: Breastfeeding , Things , Months
Coats
2008-03-05 16:40:00 Summary: F put her own coat on without any help this morning. Plus, I whine about former students. When I was a teacher I often ended up talking to parents about their children in conferences. I remember one where I met with a charming woman to talk about why her child was failing my ...

Animal Sounds
2008-03-02 02:10:00 We were reading What Do You Say at bedtime and I said “What do you say to a bee?” and James went “bzzzzzzz”!! “What do you say to a duck?” “Quack” “What do you say to a cat?” “Hisss” Well, based on their interactions with our cat that’s pretty accurate!

If Only He Could Understand Us
2008-03-02 01:07:00 J was dipping his fork into his yogurt at dinner and flicking bits of yogurt around. Me: J, I don’t think that is Daddy approved behavior. Brian: (from kitchen) What’s he doing? Putting yogurt in his hair? J promptly began using his fork to smear the yogurt in his hair. Me: ... More About: Understand , Months
Twin Sleep Through the Night!
2008-02-29 22:48:00 It only took 20 months - well, a week less - but both babies slept through the night last night. That’s right. BOTH BABIES! All night. Sleep ing. Not crying.

School, Week 3 (Montessori Potty Training)
2008-02-28 20:18:00 So week 3 of school has come and gone without a hitch except for the nap disruption. (Yes, it is nap time right now and, yes, J is not happy about that.) F doesn’t even make a pretense of saying goodbye to me in the morning, she just plunges into the classroom. ... More About: Training , School , Potty Training , Montessori , Week
Shitty Day
2008-02-27 20:17:00 I have a pounding headache. This in itself is not unusual as I get headaches of some severity at least 3 days a week and have all of my adult life. If I am dehydrated I get a headache. If I miss a meal I get a headache. If I am ... More About: Sleep , Months
Things I Fear
2008-02-25 02:12:00 Me: Honey, don’t you think it’s time to wean? F: No. Me: But, sweetheart, your prom is next week. F: I hate you! Nobody understands me!

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.

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
More articles from this author: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. ...
