Alternate title: Oh Shit!! Yes, indeed. After The Summer That Flew By At Rocket Speed, Abby officially started Pre-K today. She did just fine. This first day of school thing is kind of passe for her, really. After all, she had a first day of school in the green room AND the purple [...] So it’s 12 hours until I leave on a week’s vacation, I have nothing at all packed and I’ve spent the last 20 minutes illustrating a song that Abby wrote last weekend. She’s into songwriting these days. Usually they have just about one verse, maybe a chorus and they often have slightly ridiculous lyrics. [...] Not much. The stage is decked out in super-fun party decorations, the better to fit the “Party Day” theme, naturally. And maybe you get a juice box and some M&M’s as long as you promise not to spill on your party dress. (Which is actually your Easter dress and which almost doesn’t zip up anymore, [...] God help me, I’m actually writing a post about my baby losing her very first tooth! (In case you’re keeping score at home, Abby is still only 4 and a quarter years old.) We’ve known this was on the horizon for a little while now. Back at the start of June, Abby had her [...] What are things found in and around my house? What are things I can’t easily avoid? What are things Abby loves to stick her face into? What are things Abby is allergic to? If we were playing Jeopardy! those would all be correct responses. Abby and I went, oh, a couple weeks ago now [...] Yesterday was one of those days.

I was a little late picking Abby up from preschool, but I remembered to pack a juice box to bring with me. After a temper [...] Easter is a fun holiday at which to measure Abby’s growth and development from year to year. It’s usually right after her birthday, and I can usually fire off a few pictures before she gets covered in chocolate. On Abby’s first Easter, she was just about a month plus a week old. She was [...] Some projects should come with tsunami warnings. They would say: Caution! This project will swallow your life whole, leaving your desk a complete mess and destroying any sense of equilibrium you may have gained from attaining a work-life balance. I’m in the middle of one of those projects this week. Holy crap, it’s Wednesday! [...] That is my child, sleeping with her big plush puppy stuffed under her nightgown. I’m pretty sure that’s a penguin where her bust will someday be. She had no explanation for this turn of events. Someday I will show this picture at her wedding. Revenge for all of those temper tantrums will be sweet. [...] As if to prove that things could always get worse, last night Abby broke my nose. For the second time in my life. We were playing an innocent, pre-dinner game of Tickle Monster with daddy in the titular role when she veered left and I veered right and SMASH goes Abby’s very hard forehead [...]  |
