In all this moving business, it’s the little things that throw the kids for a loop. Last night, we put Maia to bed in our room so we could work on packing her room. This morning, upon seeing his sister’s newly sparse habitat, it became clear just which details are most important to Noah. He […]

"Ahzaba yada Ducky," He slurred unintelligibly, as he gazed happily at me from la-la land with the sloppy grin of a falling down drunk. There was no question about it. My three-year-old son was the new poster child for what it means to be feeling no pain. But wait, it’s not what you think! As […]

Maia has recently decided that everyone has a superpower, and I was informed the other day that mine is reading. Reading? Really? A superpower? Who knew? All this time, I’ve been selfishly thinking that my love of reading was just for my own personal entertainment. But this is, after all, the child who, when I […]

My mother is the queen of graph paper. As in, she’s the only person I know who even knows what to do with the stuff, keeping some handy at all times. I don’t believe she’s ever purchased or even simply moved a piece of furniture without having first accosted it with the tape measure and […]

Back-to-back conversations in my house just now that amused me: ***** Kent: Maia, can you put Noah’s shirt on him? Maia (with attitude): No, that’s Dad stuff. Kent: No, that’s sister stuff. Kent won. Maia put Noah’s shirt on. ***** Kent: Where is the clicker? Who took the clicker? Maia (with attitude): Obviously not me. […]

I’m not a fan of tuna. Since I don’t prepare foods I don’t eat, my family is deprived of lots of things. One of them being tuna. I’m not sure Noah has ever had it, until last night. We were tired after a long day of playing hooky at Disney (we had a good excuse; […]

Hoo boy. It’s a good thing I have a sense of humor and know how to laugh at myself about these things. Kent and I had a hearty laugh today at my expense. And he was most definitely laughing at me, not with me. As we were driving home from church this morning, Kent brought […]

I did resolve to begin telling some college stories here, so I’ll start with a fun one. Spring Break 1990. Ah, what an adventure! I and six of my closest friends made the trip from Boston to Florida for a fabulous week of fun at my house. Three of us flew; the rest road-tripped. None […]

We are officially starting potty training now that Noah has moved to the “older” 2’s class at daycare, where they are more disciplined about such things. Is this the beginning of the end of diapers? Well, not quite yet. Not until Noah begins to view the potty as something other than one step closer to […]

Do you play the school bus game in your family? We do. The objective is to be the first one to see a school bus. You get a point for each one you call out first. Yelling “SCHOOL BUS!!!!” at the top of your lungs usually does the trick. Maia is an expert at this. […]
