Okay, I can't find a dress. If I loaned you a dress, particularly a burnt-orange lace-up-the-front dress, please let me know! -
Terrible 21 months?
So, I'm not really loving Simon's new tantrums. For the past five days or so, he's been randomly bursting into fits of screaming/crying/flailing for no apparent reason. Anybody out there with childcare experience, tell me - this type of phase passes quickly, right? Right? I hope?

Firsts
Tonight was a night of firsts.
Tonight was the first time Simon climbed the stairs by alternating his feet.
Tonight was the first time Simon ate ketchup.
Tonight was the first time Simon stole a tater tot off my plate.
Tonight was the first time I called my son a filthy little bogart.
Tonight we taught him how to say "yoinks". -

On the train this morning, we passed a parking lot with a huge pile of snow in it, and I found myself thinking, "...huh. I wonder if there's a car buried under there."
I can't wait for the warm weather. -
Needs, wants
I wanted to post today about how much fun I had at the Madrigal event last weekend. I also wanted to post about how cute my son is, even on days when it seems like he's besought by demons. Instead, I find myself posting about my need for about twelve hours of sleep. I feel like Death today, and would like this cold to be over now, thank you. ( Read more... ) -
Mea culpa
I haven't posted since the end of November. It's been so long since I posted that I almost don't know WHAT to post, but I promised myself that if my 11:00 patient got cancelled, I'd get my butt online and update folks about my life. So lo, here I be ( Read more... )
