racers, start your engines!

April 22nd, 2009

Today was the second annual Trike-a-thon at KNS. The kids were instructed to bring their decorated vehicle and helmet this afternoon. Rumor on the playground was that most parents barely remembered to bring bikes, today, much less break out the decorations. But, they turned out. At high noon, the kids took to the 10 foot […]

bloch for babies

March 23rd, 2009

Bloch, the company that made the ballet slippers we all wore to many a dance class, makes baby slippers. Wish I’d have known this months ago. Sylvie would have loved these.

goodbye imagination, hello kindergarten

March 15th, 2009

In preparation for Will beginning kindergarten in the fall, we’ve been paying close attention to his development. I’m happy to say that he is on par or advanced in all areas the school will be assessing, but I’m a little nervous that one of the areas is the child’s ability to tell real from imaginary. […]

oh you can tell by the way I keep my house

March 4th, 2009

that I’m a working mom, no time to dust… I know when I wake up with my own version of a BeeGees song stuck in my head that my mind is spent. Been burning the midnight oil lately on a secret project at work, which will no longer be secret this afternoon. But, in my […]

potty training by the clock

February 25th, 2009

Sylvie, my nanny, and I are all ill, today. So, home alone with Sylvie, I decided we might attempt potty training. She’s been using the potty since ~15 months because she hates to be dirty, but since I’m not a fan of accidents, we’ve avoided encouraging anything more than Sylvie directed potty experiments. Figured we […]

macarooned

February 14th, 2009

When your husband makes this for dinner: You can’t just show up with frozen pound cake. So I attempted parisian macaroons using Martha Stewart’s recipe (and incidentally, not the one I posted previously). Oh brother, those French are neurotic in a way that I can appreciate. What follows is what I learned, not necessarily what […]

number theory

February 14th, 2009

Will: Mom, what is the largest number? Mom: infinity Will: Nope. There is no largest number. Mom: You are correct. Will: What is the largest number? Mom: There is none. Will: Why?

happy valentines day!

February 14th, 2009

From Will, to all his ladies. (That would be ALL of you reading this): For the school card exchange, we made stamps the old fashioned way – with potatoes we bought at the farmer’s market. [eye roll] Will helped me stamp the construction paper, and then hot glue hearts in place. Delusional, I thought he […]
