At some point this little baby: Turned into this five year old: She’s still cute as a button. —- Dropbox has a nifty feature that it automagically uploads photos from my camera as I take them. I have it syncing to my work PC, which is probably not good for productivity.
Five years ago, this big kid wasn’t so big. Five years ago, she came into this world and changed everything permanently. I know where the time went, and I know how it was spent. What still gets me is how quickly it goes by. Five years? Half a decade of life? That’s 1/6th of my [...]
A few nights ago, I stayed up late writing up a post for class, and I found myself wanting desperately to learn the ins and outs of the chemical reaction (Bohr, Haldane, Hamburger effects) of ventilation. When I finished, I kind of sat wondering what it is that triggers this sort of interest whereas college [...]
A few nights ago I was home alone with the kids and was tasked to put them to bed. After doing Isaac’s routine, it was time to put Nora to bed, which entails reading her stories and such. The two books she picked had the word MY in the title. I decided it would be [...]
“Parenting” ‘Who knew what we’d be expecting with two kids,’, that’s how the year started. Every few days, I’d ask Lisa ‘what the hell are we doing? we barely parents of one, let alone two!’ That isn’t true, obviously. Nora is a great girl. But I was terrified. I know I’ve said this before, but [...]
“The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions.” This isn’t NBPM. No, this is the vengeance of night weaning. You see, when Isaac was a tiny baby, he was a wriggly little grunt. He would shuffle his body and wiggle his butt in between us to steal warmth throughout the night; later, we learned [...]
Nice thing: Since starting NBPM, traffic to this site increased 40%. Either I’m really, really interesting or you’re really, really bored. Either way, thanks for coming, I sincerely appreciate it. – – – Sweet things: all these things happened a few days ago. Lisa went for yoga class which left me in charge of the [...]
Isaac is pulling up on everything. Isaac likes to stand. Isaac is thinking about walking. This child is just nuts. To compound the problem, he doesn’t sleep. What’s waking him up is anyone’s guess. We’ve monitored the temperature in his room, tried different clothes and techniques, and nothing has consistently worked. We’re going to employee [...]
There is a difference between comfortably tired and painfully tired. Comfortably tired means I could drop off into a nap at any moment and it’d be a peaceful slumber. A painful tired is a pounding headache, exacerbated by the jitters from coffee fueled wakefulness. – - Unlike two weekends ago, last weekend was brilliant. I [...]
Isaac does well enough on road trips. I’m pretty surprised, actually. One of the things that was a big worry was that we can’t sit in the back with him, as Nora’s seat takes up a lot of space in my car and Lisa’s car doesn’t even have a middle seat. He didn’t cry on [...]
