And it’s very, very quiet. First it was very, very loud, and a very lot of chow mein was eaten. this was saturday, not today, thankfully l.c. was My Sweetie for the last five days. He hugged, he told little jokes, was thoroughly charming. He took exactly one nap in five days, didn’t cry, was […]

We headed for my parents in the afternoon. t.c. leaped in the air when I told him where we were going, rushed around to find his socks. Should he wear his boots or his shoes? Shoes or boots? What should he DOOO? And then there was the bitching about where everybody was sitting in the
Has gone well, no disasters, no crying, lots of fun. t.c. was up at 6:40 and we told him, most sincerely, that it was still dark out, still night. Go back to sleep. l.c. was given a drink and covered up. He snuggled in a curl with his pillow pet and it was all quiet.
In the middle of the night of the five day sleepover. Uncle Tim is asleep and t.c. is beside him on his Pokemon pillow. l.c. is snoozing in the bright fuschia pack and play bed. It took Jay and me several minutes of fiddling to get the baby monitor to work. Contraptions! Technology! What’s wrong

I deflected her with a few comments like this: “You got all those new things at Christmas. Why don’t you play with those?” And the old classic, “You could sort out your sock drawer.” She
see all the needles on the floor? way past time. Today we took the tree down. I always hate to see it go–the Christmas lights are so enjoyable. It’s dark here early, the evenings are long, and the tree was gorgeous. But the little electric candles in the windows can stay a few more weeks
Okay, this is t.c. and he arrived here in a burst of happy hollering. I love his hat, asked him to pose for a picture, and snapped this: That’s him and his grandpa. It was a snap, that quick. But the light was so pretty, I drew him in and cropped the edges. After this,

A picture from this morning: He’s here today with just the big kids. John and Dannell took the little ones to an indoor amusement park for lunch. t.c. was so excited he was shrieking as he headed out the door, John fast behind him yelling, “Don’t run! No running! It’s icy and wet!” Good luck,
