Walking 'round downtown, finding anything to climb on and climbing at the library

He's and She's

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:21:03 -0700

Yesterday I rolled Arwen's window down so she could say goodbye to a little friend, and her purple balloon got sucked out the window! If you've ever witnessed this, it is a true heartbreak for a child. Their tears are genuine. Trying to put a goo...

April 22nd

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:52:06 -0700

Arwen climbed into bed with us yesterday morning, as she does every morning, and we oohed and aahed about her being 4! She said, "But I'm not big." I know what she means. She's been babied. She is the baby of 3, and she still looks like a baby. He...

The Vomit Bucket Milestone

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:05:00 -0700

I am nursing and cleaning up after the third sick child, in as many weeks. Arwen, almost 4, went to bed last night with a low grade fever. 11 o'clock she vomited up most of the contents of her stomach onto her bed, mostly strawberries and cup cake...

Little peanut

I believe Arwen climbed in here to eat her chocolate muffin. She only appears to be praying because she wanted to strike a pose, unless she was praying that I wouldn't scold her. I didn't.

All kinds of new words all the time

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:55:10 -0800

On the way to pick up pizza, we're listening to Michel Thomas's Spanish. Savannah and I are tripping along with sentences like "Can you make a translation for me today?" It's Klingon to Arwen, 3 1/2 years old. She asks, "Are these bad words?" I ch...

Sound asleep in Mississippi

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:16:57 -0800

On our trip last month, it was always interesting getting the little ones to sleep. I'd tuck them in only to find them later either laughing or fighting really loudly. But once they were down, even the light didn't bother them. The kiddies alway...

No Music Monday

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 21:24:30 -0700

My first No Music Monday. Today in the van, I resisted the habit of reaching for the music so that I could instead hear the pitch of my 3-year-old's cough, and these abstract phrases from my 5 year old, that I can never remember later in the day. ...

Mystery Spot, Santa Cruz, California

nobody@vox.com(Georgia Lynn) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 23:45:22 -0700

The one thing I learned at the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, CA is that 5 year old boys are danger magnets! It's great for 8 year olds or any adult looking for a goofy outing in the woods. Someone suggested having a birthday there, which hadn't occu...
