Things about my life.
We tried out some sledding with Xander on the hill beside our house today. The results were mixed. We were using one of the saucer sleds, which might not have been the best choice. His first time down he slipped off and slid down laying face down on the sled. His head was toward the [...]
Upon closer inspection, it looks like Mira has her bottom right lateral incisor, instead of the central incisor which is what I thought it was this morning. It also looks like the two bottom central incisors are just about to break through also. We think we can see them. (Yes, that’s an adult teeth picture, [...]
Tonight at dinner Xander did a very good job of trying some new foods, and Mira was playing nicely in her play pen while we ate. I commented on how good both of them were being and said, “How did I end up with two such wonderful children?” Xander responded, “We got Mira.” “Yes, that’s [...]
So Mira gave us a couple of surprizes this morning. Kate was off to the doctor this morning to have her toe looked at again. It doing well by the way. The doctor said everything is healing fine. Anyway, back to Mira. I as keeping her while Kate was at the doctor. I was playing [...]
Mira clearly prefers Mommy over Daddy. She often gets upset when Mommy is no where to be seen. She calms down after a bit but sometimes it takes a bit of work on my part. One of the things that I do to calm her down is sing Little Bunny Foo Foo to her. That [...]
We had about 4 or 5 inches of snow yesterday. We had misting all night that was freezing when it touched the ground, so there is a nice layer of ice on the ground this morning, so I’m working from home again today. My favorite part of this time of year is when I spend [...]
Two weeks till we get racing again! I can hardly wait. I do, however, have some thoughts on the upcoming season. I really don’t like the new points system that NASCAR is putting in place. I think this whole “playoffs” style end of the season this is silly. In other sports you have playoffs in [...]
Captain Kangaroo died today. I’m pretty sad about it. I remember watching him when I was a kid. The thing I remember most is Mr. Moose dropping ping pong balls on the Captain’s head. It’s not often I cry because someone I never met died. This is one of those times.
So Kate gets up this morning to get Mira out of her crib because we hear her crying. She walks in to see her sitting up in the crib holding on to the bars. We’ve figured out what she’s doing. She fiddles around until she can get her legs through the bars. Then she twists [...]
Mira put her self to sleep just fine last night! I woke up around 1:30am and heard some music coming from her room. I crept over to her room to see what was going on. She had woken up and turned her self so that her feet were facing her fish. Then she’d managed to [...]
Tonight we put Mira in her crib around 8pm and just left her there. We’ve been reading up, and this seemed like the best way to get her out of the habit of sleeping in our bed. She cried for around 10 minutes, and then went to sleep. We are very proud of her tonight. [...]
Yes, I’ve started playing EverQuest again. We’ll see how long it lasts this time.
Boy am I behind. Kate broke her right big toe on Jan 2nd. Short version is that there is nothing much to do about it. X-rays show it is in alignment, so it is just a matter of waiting for it to heal. Xander started back to school on the 5th, that continues to go [...]
This article in the New York Post really pisses me off. Lots of places have commented on the stupidity of the whole article. It appears that, as usual, parents aren’t the ones that are responsible for controling what kids are playing. Not only that, but the fact that the game has you doing things you [...]
