Liberty has been working with a dictionary a lot lately for her English. Today she asked me if 1 Corinthians is in the New Testament. When I said it was, she asked why the Bible isn’t listed in alphabetical order. I made baked oatmeal for breakfast this morning at Sterling’s request. Ruby said she doesn’t […]
Uff-da.
Ruby’s new word – you know how that goes. She picks a word and says it. A lot. Every time she gets even close to in-context, out it comes. This week, it’s “uff’-da”. And I love it. Because it’s evidence of where I come from and it’s proximity to a whole lot of Norwegians… and […]
Ruby posts, revisited.
Originally titled, “Ruby, sometimes I like you better when you are sleeping.” Posted 5/4/09 Dearest Ruby, emotional roller coaster that she is… She’ll be smiling, happy as can be…. and turn into something out of a bad movie all within the same minute. Really, what will puberty be like? Run and hide, my friends, run […]
An oldie, but still a funny–to me, at least.
Revisiting some of my blog posts (made elsewhere) lately, this one made me laugh. In honor of the birthday girl, turning three this weekend – but 7 months old at the time of this post… Originally Published 4/14/09. My Dearest Ruby, Yes, you’ve slept much better these last three nights. But pooping on my sheets […]
Broken clotheslines and dust bunny disposal.
Due in four weeks, I’m feverishly cleaning the house. Planning a homebirth puts a whole new spin on nesting. Pretty sure it’s more panic cleaning than nesting – but either way, my house is benefitting. Baby now has a dresser, a bed, and it shouldn’t sneeze the moment it enters the world for the dust […]
I’ll be so cute.
None of my kids have walked early. Ruby was on time when she took her first steps on her first birthday, but she set a new record in doing so. My latest walker walked at 19 months. Another walked at 17 months, another at 14 months. Charlotte is 11 months old today. She wants to […]
That was easy.
Tried something new last night.* I went grocery shopping at night. With only Eden. It was amazing. 7pm on a Tuesday = a great time to be at Aldi. Only one kid = a great time to be at Aldi. We were in and out in less than an hour with the better part of […]
(Some) comments unwelcome.
I never realized having (a lot of) kids (in a short period of time) required a thick skin. Turns out, a thick skin – and the ability to bite your tongue – is quite useful. We get lots of comments. Always. There is no such thing as anonymity anymore. But when people act disgusted – […]
Poor boy.
“Ow, I don’t like this house. I keep tripping on things!” Said by Sterling – as he he tripped over toys. His toys. Poor boy.
Five weeks to due date. Yesterday, I wasn’t sure I was going to live that long. You know that “Never felt so good as when you’re feeling better after feeling bad” feeling? Yeah, I have that today. So thankful to have that – because yesterday, I don’t know what it was, but I could barely […]
