Jonathan now has an imaginary friend. Her name is "Su-su" or "Soot-soot" or some combination/permutation of those sounds. She has a big house (not a small one) and she has toys there, usually three. We like to go to her house in the evenings if we aren't going somewhere else. He also has made... (More)

Good Ol' Home Cooking
I'm so excited about last night's (almost) from scratch Mediterranean dinner success that I have to post! I have come a long way to where I got yesterday. First, when I made this dinner, I would make falafel from a mix, raita (which is actually an Indian name, but I know there's cucumber yogurt... (More)

The Fascinating Ever-Changing Properties of Breastmilk
A woman I know has been having breastfeeding troubles with her three month old. She firmly believes in the superiority of breastmilk and nursing, and so has persisted through the discouragement (implicit and from other people, including pediatrician) and is using a lactation supplementer instead...

"It's Dripping Everywhere"
That statement by Jonathan is what I woke up to from my nap this afternoon. It has worked before - to let him play quietly by himself while I take my nap. But today, well, he just tried to be a little more independent than he's truly capable of. He crawled up onto the bed and stood up next to... (More)

Jonathan is a Little Boy
He's thinning out and looking older and doing and saying all sorts of extraordinary things. Here's the catch-up. 1/23 - Told a clerk at the grocery store that his favorite movie is my prenatal excercise video! 1/25 - He found a nametag lanyard and uses it as his stethoscope, to measure the...

Innocent Pleasures
At our church's marriage retreat last weekend, we got a copy of "Innocent Pleasures" by David Powlinson, an article that was in the fall issue of The Journal of Biblical Counseling .I finished reading it this morning and found it to be quite good. David spoke of the evil and glory of little... (More)

Christmas and Vacation
Christmas Eve, we went to a church family's party and then had a candlelight service at church. Christmas Day, there was no service (we meet in a school and they didn't want to make the janitor work on Christmas) so we had the day at home. We woke up and opened stockings (sample toothpaste for... (More)

Longer Sentences, More Complex Ideas, Growing Responsibility
Jonathan likes to play with the water in the sink, using cups and sponges, etc. I have a "three strikes" rule - after water gets on the floor three times, he has to turn it off and stop playing. Recently, he has actually finished his play before getting to the third time. Christmas Eve, he... (More)

Fun Jonathan Quotes
Much of the Jonathan news is best encapsulated by quoting him: 12/15 - We slept late, and/or the garbage truck came early. We were having our pre-get-up nursing and I heard the truck in our street. Jonathan did too, for he lifted up his head and said, "Oopsie, trash truck!" and then sat up. So... (More)

House in NH
Mom found this house while canoeing in the Merrimack River, and thinks it is just perfect for us. It does look great! There is a lot of land (13 acres) and a lovely place for the Black Rabbit to launch from. We have gotten used to Pittsburgh housing prices, so anything is a shock, but this... (More)

Weekend Sailing Adventures, Part II (aka Capsized!)
Sunday after church Jon suggested we go sailing again since we did not make it the day before. After lunch, we headed out again, this time to North Park because it is closer. The wind was strong, the best we've had in Pittsburgh so far. However, it was also gusty and changed direction a lot in... (More)

Remembering
Every day so far since we've been home, Jonathan has remembered out loud the fun he had on vacation. He says, "Water, deep. Sand! Boat. Beach. Water, shovel, water, deep! Uncle Jay, Aunt Prudence, Aunt Janet, Dad-o, Uncle Jay, Just Jay [one in NH who is not Uncle Jay], Dad-o, water,... (More)

Water Recycling
I have discovered a fun and convenient way to water our plants. Our air conditioner drips about a gallon of water a day if we run it all afternoon. If I put our watering can under the drip, it fills it in addition to keeping water off the porch carpet. Then the next day, I have a full watering... (More)

Water Play
Jonathan and I were taking a bath this morning when he stuck his face in the water and blew bubbles, his own idea! He has been much more willing to explore floating and "swimming" since he played in the Kuhns' medium sized kiddie pool the other week. With all the splashing, we had drained the... (More)
