Enough

I just read Alice Bradley’s latest post and it really got me thinking. A lot of things get me thinking, I know. In fact, I think I think too much and that this extreme habit of thinking is what has gotten me into trouble on many occasions in my life.
That’s not my point.
My point is [...]

Check-Up

June had her two-year check-up today (more than two months late). Our little but is no little bug. She is nearly 38 inches tall and weighs 34.2 pounds. The doctor was impressed that she was out of diapers already and told Fred that she wished every two year old that came in to the doctor’s [...]

Relate

Today June’s pediatrician sent me an email to let me know that they have a limited amount of the H1N1 vaccine and are scheduling appointments for children up to 36 months of age. Fred and I had already agreed that we’d get her the vaccine when it was available, so I requested an appointment.
I was [...]

Vaccination Against Reason

I probably shouldn’t write about this. Vaccination is a dangerous topic. I can’t tell you exactly why this is a dangerous topic. I cannot explain why it is that the topic of vaccination is yet another arena in which the public at large would like to wage their wars, but there it is. I’ve talked [...]

Your Second Birthday

Dear June,
Tomorrow (or today, when I finally post this) is your second birthday. You were born at 10:34 two years ago after six hours (relatively few) of labor. Your daddy rubbed my back the entire time and we were both so ecstatic (me exhaustively ecstatic) when you arrived. And two years later, we’re still just [...]

“I Want to Go Back to My School!”

Last Wednesday was June’s first day at her new Montessori school. Fred and I had attended a parent orientation last Monday and were very excited (though also emotional) about the fact that June would be starting this new adventure.
The way that this Montessori school works is that new students go through a phase-in process so [...]

Bigger

Our little almost-two-year old amazes me every day. She is 36.5 inches tall, 32 pounds and can say things like:
“I don’t want to eat kiwis anymore.”
As well as, “Hey guys, I’m back.” “Daddy, don’t forget your coffee.” “Oooooo, the flowers are so pretty.”
Granted, her diction isn’t perfect, but come on, “Daddy don’t forget your coffee”? [...]
