January 26th, 2007 Daniel had a check up yesterday afternoon. The good news was a nicehealthy weight gain. I’ve been on the other side of those charts enoughtimes to recognize that as a blessing. The bad news was shots. Poorbaby. He spent much of last night feverish and fussing. He cried if anyone even lookedat his fat, sore legs. A dose of Motrin at 3:00 in the morning gave usboth a bit of January 26th, 2007 You are familiar with Ed Emberley, aren’t you? I can’t bethe only one with fond grammar school memories of creating fabulouslysatisfying works of art using only a felt tip pen, an ink pad, and mythumb. But did you know that Mr. Emberley has a really cool website?It has drawing tips and art projects for kids of all ages. Evenreluctant, insecure artists can learn to draw charming characters theEd Emberley way! January 25th, 2007 I like Maureen Wittmann’s practical, flexible approach to homeschooling through family life events. January 25th, 2007 Gabrielle spent a large part of the day today dressed for her wedding.She wore a white lace veil (provided by my mother for this verypurpose) and a long white apron. She clutched a lovely bouquet ofartificial roses and practiced processing through the living room. Shewas every bit the blushing bride. After watching her for several minutes, I finally ventured to ask, “Who is going to be your husband?” “My what?” January 25th, 2007 A Catholic mom is working on a project and seeks your input: “The project I am working on looks at the correlation betweenlabor and delivery and the Paschal Mystery of Christ. Additionally, itwill investigate how childbearing/labor/delivery can be considered inthe light of redemptive suffering — specifically using the sufferingas an offering for the burden of sin in our world. My goal of thisproject is to lay out a plan so January 25th, 2007 I like stuff. In fact, sometimes I like stuff so much that I just have to share: For Preschoolers We got the kids some of these Melissa and Doug Puzzles in a Boxfor Christmas. Though I have mixed reviews for most Melissa and Dougtoys, I LOVE these. They’re available in different themes (pets,trucks, etc.) and each box contains 4 different puzzles. The sturdywooden pieces are the perfect size for little January 25th, 2007 “Non-toxic” does not mean “good to eat.” Poster paints, for example, are a very poor choice for breakfast. January 24th, 2007 Gabrielleis a clothes horse. She goes through 476 different outfits every dayand her dresser drawers are in a constant state of disaster. And as youcan see in the picture, she comes up with some … interestingcombinations. I have an inkling that I should probably restrict thenumber of clothing changes she’s allowed in a day, but there’ssomething about a girl’s need to change her look that speaks to me. Imean, if |
