Camping

Last weekend, we went to Keystone State Park with the Tomans. We got a group campsite so we could put both tents together. It was right on the lake and separate enough from other sites for privacy. I hadn't done much with our camping supplies since two years ago, and some of... (More)

Noah's Visit to the ER

Yesterday, Noah poked a coat hanger into his eye. All is well now, but I wanted to post the adventure. My mom wrote up the story after my phone conversation with her, so I'm going to paste that here to save typing. I'll interject where I want to add details or... (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)

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)

It's Not A Thankless Job

Jonathan and I were drawing and coloring together downstairs. At one point, I had written his name, and then when we were cutting things, I cut a heart out around his name. Soon after, I went to change Noah's diaper. I heard Jonathan say, "How do you spell... (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)

Turnips and More Numbers

Jonathan likes to eat turnips (just cut up and boiled) - he was exclaiming over them so much I thought it should go into the blog. He counted backwards from five the other day, on his own. He said, "That's Soot-su's address." This morning he drew a "6"... (More)
