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)

The Report: Jonathan "Drives" A Backhoe
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)

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)

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)

Jonathan Is Three!
Jonathan woke up late on his birthday morning and discovered a bouquet of Happy Birthday balloons tied to the foot of his bed. He had a good long drink of mommy milk and then discovered his birthday crown on the sewing table which he put on after dressing in his "wedding clothes."... (More)

"CR" Sound, Math Rhymes
Jonathan was rolling out fondant and playing with cookie cutters and talking to himself about them when I heard him say, "cross" correctly!  He also said, "green" correctly so I asked him to say "Grammy" and he did!  They do sound slightly like... (More)

SATs for Pre-schoolers
I happened across Wynne's blog today, since I was poking around on various CMU alums' web sites. She recently linked to this story about standardized testing . I don't have much that is original to say about this, but figured some of you might like to read the article. (More)

TV
Reading Mom's post about the TV/autism study reminded me of my own recent negative TV experience. On Friday at care group, Jonathan inadvertantly went to the babysitting before we wanted him to, and they ended up seeing several kids' shows on video. Much of his conversation all weekend... (More)

Cradle Cap, Tummy Time
I never did anything with Jonathan's cradle cap and it's still there. It's hidden by hair and doesn't bother him, so I continue to do nothing. But Noah's looks different, and actually more noticable, so I thought I'd try to do something about it. After quite a search, we finally found... (More)

Noah's Progress
I just noticed that Jonathan has 203 posts, Isaac has 60, and Noah only has 14, so I will take this opportunity to write about our left-behind third child. He seems to like trying to catch my eye while I am working at my laptop, and we are sitting on the couch together. I will notice that he... (More)

Fun Weekend (long overdue)
Last weekend, Heather was sick with mastitis, which meant she just wanted to lie in bed all day with flu-like symptoms. It actually started on Friday morning, and she did get progressively better throughout the day, but still decided to stay home from care group that night. I was planning on... (More)
