Just before 7:00 this morning, I thought I heard some sounds, so looked out the window to see a pickup truck but no backhoe. The backhoe arrived just after 7 and Jonathan watched out the window while I got ready for the day. Daddy said we could go out to look before breakfast since... (More)

Writing, Favorite Color, Familiar

Not to be outdone by his brother , Jonathan has some interesting things for a blog post today, too. Recently, he's been enjoying cutting out paper shapes that he draws or that I draw for him. This morning he asked me to draw the picture from the first page of Curious... (More)

Spears, Reading, Boggle

5/7 - "Mommy, we don't see people with spears too much." Cell phones, yes, spears, no. 5/10 - I was doing some reading on the laptop and scrolling with the arrows. First Jonathan noticed that when I pressed the down arrow, the page went up, and vice versa, and... (More)

Chef Jonathan

While cooking our breakfast on Saturday, I saw that Heather had put the potatoes on the counter, meaning that we should eat them soon, and not forget about them in their normal storage place. I asked Jonathan how we should cook the potatoes for dinner, and he said that we should make... (More)

It's Worth Finding A Good Pediatric Dentist!

Last month, I took Jonathan for his first dental checkup and cleaning. He did a great job, asking lots of questions and generally having a good time. But they did discover two huge fillings. The regular dentist doesn't do fillings for kids, so she had us make an appointment... (More)

Sunny On Sunday

In college, our friend Volus used to say that it was always sunny on Sunday. Even if it was gray in the morning, the sun was out by the time church was over. I found that he was right for the vast majority of the time. This weekend was no exception. Saturday was rainy,... (More)

How Does Skin Stick Together?

I try to take Jonathan's questions seriously and answer them as accurately as I can. This morning, I could not think of a better answer than "well, the cells, they just do." (Which is not very satisfying.) So I looked to the internet for help. All I can find is that... (More)

Heat/Furnace

Note to self: when going to bed, and walking past a heating vent that is blowing cold air, double check that the furnace is working. 52 degrees in the house this morning, and it isn't that cold out (27 or so).The fan is on constantly, but the ignition isn't turning on, so it seems... (More)

Unsupervised Electrical Experiment

I'll begin by assuaging grandparental fears: no one is hurt! And now I'll start from the beginning. As mentioned elsewhere, it is extremely cold out today. We forgot to open the cupboard under the kitchen sink and thus the pipes froze. I put our space heater on... (More)

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." Noah has been wanting to eat more and has had lots of practice feeding bits of things... (More)

Food, Babbling, Moving, Looking

Noah, as mentioned in Jon's saturday post, has been grabbing for my food, and I have started giving him tiny squashed samples. This is one of the great differences between him and his big brother, who did not care very much for solid food until at least a year. Yet it's not... (More)

More Quotes, More Jumping, Drawing

Well, so far he hasn't forgotten things from before he was three. Just out of the blue the other day, Jonathan was talking about the Maggie P and said, "That burning up fire toilet is pretty cool." Speaking of being three, he will occasionally ask me, "Mommy, am I... (More)

Long Commute

Tonight, due to the Steeler's game, the first snowfall, and regular silly commuters, my trip home took an hour and 15 minutes, resulting in an average speed of 3.5 miles an hour. The last mile and a half took 45 minutes. I even saved a half an hour by calling Heather when I got close to... (More)
