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)

Spyware Removal
Found an interesting spyware/virus/malware/etc at the Quinlisks yesterday. It was a "Browser Helper Object (BHO)", a method of getting your own code put inside of the windows explorer, and thus pretty hard to remove.They run Ad-Aware every once in a while to clean up their computer,... (More)

The Pa Game, Drawing
Recently, Jonathan has been drawing a lot. He likes markers best, but if I don't have enough energy for them (supervision - though he can now clean up the table himself when he gets some there which makes it easier on me) he will do crayons. He can now connect back to his starting point -... (More)

Verizon Credit Check
I got a notification from a credit bureau today saying that a new account had been opened by: Verizon Pen, PO BOX 165018, COLUMBUS, OH 43216. Since I haven't changed phone service since last year, it seemed odd that there would be a new account from Verizon.My mortgage company had their backup... (More)

Favorite Bits
Jonathan's favorite bits recently are Fluorine, Estonia, Great Gray Owl. I'm pretty sure he does know the Estonian flag, but he has now started this game where he goes through them and calls them all "Estonia." I think he just likes to say the word! But yesterday, he was doing that,... (More)

The Things Children Say
I just had to post this right now - I am trying not to laugh out loud. Jonathan made some kind of choking/gagging noise, and I asked him if he was ok. He said, "I'm ok. I just had some God bless you in my mouth." (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...

Independence, Singing
Jon made Jonathan a lightswitch stick so that he (Jonathan) can turn on and off the lights himself. It is a dowel with a loop of wire fastened to the end. When Grammy and Auntie E were here, Jonathan demonstrated the first observed completion of the USA puzzle all by himself. Before, I had... (More)

"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)

Memory and Imitation
One reason Jonathan talks so well is because we talk to him like a real person. Children learn by hearing and by imitating. It is sometimes amusing to hear the things that he says. For example, he got a valentine's day card from Aunt Ellie, and as he saw the stickers on the back and was... (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...
