I don’t feel like being witty, coherent or organized, but I have a bunch of would-be posts accumulating in my head so I just need to get something written. Feel free to comment on any, all or none of the following topics: Why won’t my children sleep? The girls are just about 16 months old. For the past [...] (I haven’t done a general health/habits post in ages, so bear with me if you’re not into this sort of thing.) The girls turned 15 months old last week. I’m starting to feel like a legitimate parent with actual, like….kids. While sharing a park with some morose-looking teenagers a few weeks ago, I had one of [...] I’ve hesitated to post about this because I thought it was just some random thing. But it’s lingering — no, festering– so I need to share so that I might help other clueless, first-time parents. The girls’ first year was full of plenty of tribulation, but overall, it was relatively easy as far I imagined raising [...] When your entire family, including twin 15 month olds who have never thrown up in their lives, spends a few days ejecting every last droplet of food, moisture and intestinal lining out of both ends of their bodies, you have to find some humor in that. There’s always a silver lining, that’s what I say. Such [...] Today is my birthday. I am 32 years old. My 30’s suddenly seem so . . . inevitable. Normally, I’m the one to celebrate my birthday the loudest. A birthday is your own special holiday, a day the world became a little bit different because of your existence. Every birth has a story, a history, the [...] I did something tonight that I haven’t done since the girls were practically newborns: I rocked Althea to sleep. She startled out of a dream, wailing mournfully. Nightmare or what, I don’t know. I gave it a minute and a half before recognizing that she wasn’t going to settle on her own. Cracked the door open. Tiptoed [...] It’s 10:45 on a Saturday night and I’m at the pump. No, not the gas pump — the breast pump. I’m still nursing my 14-month-old twins. I can’t say what I thought it’d be like to breastfeed this long because I really had no idea what I was in for when we started. My mom always [...] At some point during the past week of new play areas (a free church playgroup, a kids’ gym), Elise picked up a stuffy nose. Her first ever! (I know, I’ve been spoiled. Fourteen-month-old twins and one is just now getting a stuffy nose.) I thought mostly nothing of it. She didn’t have much of an appetite, [...] I’m no expert when it comes to traveling with kids. I’m just writing from our experiences so far. But a reader asked, and I’m answering. Because I care. Compared to the trip to Colorado we did back in July, when the girls were eight months old, this trip went considerably better. Plus, we were better prepared. This [...] Some pics from our Cali trip. #gallery-1 { Althea at Irvine Park with Auntie Sum Althea running her little butt off at Orchard Park Chuck E Cheese was a huge hit — for about 45 minutes. Then, it was ADD waiting to happen. Yo, I’m [...] |
