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)

Less Exciting, But Still Noteworthy
Here are the things I've written down over the last few days - and I had the foresight to take the paper out of my pocket before going sailing!   4/26 -  Jonathan, playing with legos or something: "Dam it, dam it, dam it." Mommy: "Jonathan, please don't say... (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)

Noah: 9 Months
24 pounds, 9 ounces.  30 inches tall. He didn't cry a single whimper for his shot or any of the blood drawing for his hemoglobin and lead tests.  What a brave, tough guy!   He's added water (flicking his ear with his fingers - an unfortunate way to say it, but... (More)

Tired of Speaking to a Computer?
My voice has a problem with not being able to be understood by most auto-voice phone systems, and you can only say "Tech Support" so many times before you wish you hadn't ever called in the first place. Here is the answer to that problem - a list of how to get to a real human... (More)

The Alphabet Song
Sung at a reasonable pace, it takes about 30 seconds to sing.  I have been using it as a device for preparing Jonathan (and myself) for the end of a nursing session (usually two times through.)  One not surprising result is that Jonathan is good at singing it himself now.  His one... (More)

Spelling and Reading
Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h.  Oshkosh!"  That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o."  When I menioned that in... (More)

Noah's First Word!
I had been wondering for a few days if I was seeing correctly.  But yesterday I knew for sure, and this morning only confirms it.  Noah finishes what's on his tray and looks up at me expectantly.  I ask, "more, please?" with signs (sometimes it's a full sentence... (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)

Skiing
We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. We had a little  trouble getting our tickets - it is always hard to find the ski club people, and I was incorrectly asking for Carnegie... (More)

Thoughts on Marriage
A friend of John Kuhns was asked some questions about marriage and what the point of it is.  This was his response: I think you are right that marriage is becoming less and less meaningful these days. People seem to think of marriage as just a very-committed relationship. When you are in a... (More)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn
I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast.  Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters.   Noah has now figured out "crawling for transportation."  He knows he can do... (More)
