Ponderings

Monday, November 7th, 2005

Maybe there’s a reason teenagers have babies. They are so young that they are still in the know when it comes to baby products. We’ve been using a brand of diapers that has baby Sesame Street characters on them. It took me a long time to realize they were actually real characters and not just [...]


Very Tiny Tidbits

Sunday, November 6th, 2005

It’s been such a long day, yet so little has happened. I guess that’s how it is with a baby in the house. He was wide awake and very happy for several hours this morning, then he suddenly became unhappy and I think Mike may have decided he chose the mother of his child very [...]


Lessons Learned

Early Learning

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Forget about flash cards to teach my kid Japanese. Forget about classical music to inspire him in mathematics. I want to know the secret of time telling teaching. He needs to learn to pay attention to the clock. Last night he woke up at 9 pm and was really fussy for a couple of hours. [...]


Thought Blurbs

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

*We are never going to get a picture of our boy in his Halloween costume. We didn’t take him out trick or treating or anything like that, but I did buy a costume. He needs to have a picture from his very first holiday! He was too cranky to even bother with it last night [...]
