Sorrow

Shortly after my grandma died we were reading Goodnight Moon and on a whim I told Jamie that the old lady whispering hush was Granny, the official "great grandmother" title in my mom’s family. He thought this was funny and I decided it would be a small way to remember her.
Tonight not only did he [...]

Weekend wrap up

What a perfect holiday weekend. Thursday and Friday were spent with family, Saturday with friends, many visiting from out of state, and today, a rare Sunday with just the three of us. We had a lazy morning, ran one errand, then came home and played and watched Finding Nemo. Jamie was entranced.

The end of the world as we know it

Unlike many moms, I’ve generally enjoyed bathroom breaks uninterrupted. Either because MD’s home to run interference or because I, I don’t know, I’ve gotten lucky. No more. Jamie can now turn doorknobs with ease and besides the ones that are protected with childproof covers, no door in this house is safe to hide behind, whether [...]

Weekend book talk

The other night before bed we read Tanka Tanka Skunk (new) and Dr. Seuss’s ABC (favorite for at least 6 months). During both Jamie pretended to read along, mimicking the cadence of my voice perfectly. He’s doing the same with the ABC song.
