Object permanence!

December 13, 2007

Today, Serena and I were playing in bed and she was watching Rio dance around the bed. Rio danced out of her line of sight, still singing, and Serena grabbed onto a fold in the comforter and moved it out of the way so she could see her sister again. This may sound simple, but [...]

Overheard in my living room

December 12, 2007

“You know what? My mommy is crazy. She’s a pretty nice mommy, but she is sooooooooooo old. …We don’t want to touch her when she’s such an old baby.” Who taught that child to talk? Oh right, that would be me. Payback’s a bitch.

Wash or Toss?

December 10, 2007

I do a LOT of laundry. I’ve been going out among the mommies of the world more lately, and getting a lot of oohs and ahs over my cloth diaper habit, which made me notice more of the things I wash rather than throw away. I wonder, just generally, what other people do, and how [...]

Hippy Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2007

Right now I am wearing a flour-covered baby in a sling while I roll out pie crusts for our Thanksgiving dinner. In addition to piles of locally grown organic veggies, my kitchen counter is playing host to the Tassajara Bread Book, the Moosewood Cookbook and The Farm Recipe Book. In other words, I have officially [...]

Preschool cannibalism

November 14, 2007

Rio takes an art class at a friend’s house near our home, and we walk to and from it each Wednesday afternoon. Today on the way home we had this conversation: “Is this our neighborhood, Mama?” “Yep” “Is Nora (the girl who hosts art class) our neighbor?” “Yep.” “Our neighborhood is full of neighbors, right?” [...]
