Last night Carolyn went to bed a little later than usual, a little before 10 PM. Normally she wakes up an hour after we put her down, and then every 45 minutes to an hour and a half after that. By 1:30, we usually give up and bring her to bed with us. At 3 [...]
I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I thought the movies were fantastic, but the idea of it becoming a musical sort of scares me.
Today I took Carolyn to the car wash. Instead of upsetting her, it put her right to sleep. An hour and a half later, she’s still sleeping. Do you think the car wash is open at 1:00 AM?
Caffeine is evil. I stopped drinking caffeinated coffee 15 months ago because I was tired of the headaches I would get if I didn’t have the exactly perfect amount of caffeine at the exact right minute of the morning. This turned out to be a Good Thing, since I didn’t have to go through caffeine [...]
I have a soft spot for granny-square afghans. I hate putting them together, but I love how they look. My cousin Benjamin’s first birthday is coming up, and he was admiring one of Carolyn’s granny-square afghans. So…I have 21 days to crochet a duplicate. I feel kind of guilty duplicating the pattern.

Yesterday I received an order from Amazon with three more books for Carrie. Two of them are, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, about puppies. Here’s a list of the books she currently owns – the bolded ones are the ones we read to her nearly daily: Alphabet Foil Fun Baby Faces Baby’s First Bible Songs [...]
…and Carolyn actually slept for four straight hours in her crib! I don’t know what was different about last night, or how to make it happen again. At least it proves that there are not, in fact, scorpions in her bed, and she is capable of sleeping more than 45 minutes in there. I would [...]
I’ve made up new words to that song, because I really don’t like the whole mockingbird/diamond ring version: Hush, little baby, don’t you cry, Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby. And if that lullaby is flat, Daddy’s gonna buy you a silly hat; And if that silly hat turns red, Mama’s gonna knit you a [...]
