Yesterday, Kate used her first gerund. She came to me and said, “Baby cry”. I responded with, “Is the baby crying?” “Baby crying”, she replied. Yippee: another step in the communication continuum.
This morning I picked up my BIL at his house at 6:30 a.m. and took him to the airport. I’ve been flying high and happy since [...]

So I’ve worked up a grid of things that Katie does and needs to do. And yes, there is a difference. I need to get Kate’s teeth brushed on a regular basis, but she doesn’t need to play ball every day. The purpose of most of this chart is to make sure that I’m mixing [...]

On Saturday, Kate and I made cookies using the recipe on the back of the Sun Maid Raisin box. I was shocked; it was a good recipe. I tried to explain the concept of why we mix things. And then there’s the skill of mixing or stirring — perhaps a little much for a two-year-old. [...]
A Gift From God
