How We Sweat
Posted in Children on August 31, 2009 | 4 Comments »
You know how you look when you’re sweaty? Kinda deflated, right? My face gets red and then my lips go slack and then I look a bit like a rosy-drunk toad. I’ll spare you the picture.
And then there’s my daughter.
And this little guy.
Nothing toad-like about them.
When God says He gives us new life, besides all [...]

It was a long day and my little goober found that warm water mighty lovely.
Teaching Tastefulness
Posted in Children on August 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I remember reading that in France, mothers teach their daughters how to dress well with very small wardrobes. They are taught what pieces they need and how to put them together simply and tastefully.
I wonder what the French CPS would do with this.
Oh, and of course, it was 90 degrees Fahrenheit that day. For those [...]
I’m Such a Dork

When DD was two, we bought her her first 24-piece puzzle. But that wasn’t until I’d gone to multiple stores to find the most suitable puzzles (fruitlessly, as I was being a perfectionist) — hoping to find 14-piece puzzles, wholesome themes, etc. .
Yes, I am retentive sometimes.
So we sat her down and did a puzzle [...]

Nursing and My Polka Dotted Son

Kate is nursing Daisy Duck. Oh Sweet Cheeks, you do your mama proud.
Oliver gets one to three bites a day right now. I’m going to back off of the bananas for a bit and see if I can sneak garlic into his food. The poor guy is almost polka dotted.

It used to be “p0rn” and “hot p0rn”.
We would drive by Target where Kate clearly remembers getting the slushy-popcorn special and she would yell out, “Buy p0rn!”; She’ll never know how she made us laugh.
Yesterday it became “pap0rn”.
Today it is “papap0rn”. And I know that soon she’ll get it right and say, “popcorn”.
While sometimes we [...]
I Have Seen The Enemy And It Is Me

You know how I’m all exhausted because my son doesn’t sleep at night? You know how I’m not even functioning because my son keeps waking up time and time again at night to nurse? You know how Kate isn’t getting proper parenting and the house is a HUGE mess because DS wakes up sometimes six [...]

OK, her latest fascination is with sticks and seed pods.
Kate carefully selects out the twigs that she wants to add to her collection.
A Three-Year-Old’s Treasures!
I feel so Charlotte Mason!
