We never did skate at Rockefeller Center
We’re getting started on Molly’s 10,000 hours. 3854687827 Avery found it easy, as she has been rollerblading for a couple years. Callie started out clinging to the rail, ventured into the ring, fell and got a shiner, and is now the last person still on the ice. Lucy wanted to turn in her skates after [...]

Deductive Reasoning
02.03.12 | Permalink | 7 CommentsMolly knows how much I like mysteries. Perhaps she overheard my lamenting how Britain is punishing us for our colonial rebellion by delaying the second season of Sherlock until May. And certainly she has noticed my love for Inspector Lewis (Oh, Robbie!). So she likes to drop clues for me. Some are blatant though occasionally [...]

Monkey sign
12.07.11 | Permalink | Comments OffI’ve always been too lazy to teach my babies sign language (well, and to learn it myself). Good old-fashioned grunting and pointing work for us. But at eleven months, Avery started curling her arm in whenever we prompted her to say please.

Sorry about the poor quality. My phone takes great pictures, but I don’t know about the videos. At least it adds [...]

I do want them to grow up, really I do
09.01.11 | Permalink | 8 CommentsMolly turns one today and for some asinine reason I cannot type that without crying. Shoot. I will not be sad when there are no more diapers to change in this house, no more sticky hands to keep from unrolling every roll of toilet paper. I will not miss getting up for the early morning [...]

Stealing time
05.26.11 | Permalink | 5 CommentsThere’s nothing I can say that hasn’t been said before and that could in any case convey the bittersweetness as Molly cuts her third tooth and climbs to the top of the stairs as soon as my back is turned. And I won’t apologize for neglecting everything to rock her as she nurse-naps in the [...]
