Prancing Thunder
Last night a thunderstorm rolled through about 4am. When Abigail got up later in the morning, she told us she heard the thunder prancing on the deck last night. She then went on to tell us the baby thunders get nursed by the momma thunder. pretty cute. – b
Bent My Trailer
Picked up the boards to replace half the ones on the deck. The towing went just fine. It was rather convenient I could do it so easily with the trailer and the Subaru. The bending took place once I got home. I realized because of the front and back edges of the trailer being an […]
The Climber
Somehow, for some reason, Abigail got it in her mind we could do a top-rope setup with her climbing wall. She was right. I had the necessary equipment and got it working. It’s sweet. She’s doing laps up, then dropping down via the rope. She’s learning the belay commands, the necessity of proper knots (not […]
Splinters
Two in a toddler in a weeks time. Getting new wood for the deck next weekend. Hopefully she doesn’t get anymore before then. – b
Summer Sick
It started almost two weeks ago. First it was Jen, then the girls, then her Dad. I thought I’d escape being a week away for work, but it got me when I got home. Summer sick sucks. Clearing up now. Be back and running soon. – b
We Ride Together
Decided to pull out the bike I had as a kid and make it more useful for my kid. Rip the cranks off, remove the chain, and… Voila! A balance bike for me. We took them (hers and mine) out for a spin today around the park. It was pretty cool and pretty cute. Unfortunately […]
Surprise! Surprise!
Went away for a week for work. Instead of having to work my way back into Abigail’s heart when I got home, she came running with open arms. That’s nice. Perhaps gone are the days she forgets. – b
Sleep Training Update
After a 2 weeks now (?), there’s a lot less crying, a whole lot more crib sleeping, and some consistency with when it’s time to go to bed. Lauren’s getting to sleep by or around 9, then gets up on average 3 times a night. Jen takes the before midnight and after 4 am shift. […]
Camping was Awesome
Of course I can only say this after a full night of uninterrupted sleep. It was actually very hard and lots and lots of work. Continually I was reminded of things I should have done differently to make things smoother, but have forgotten all it since. Abigail didn’t get to sleep (which meant neither Jeff […]
Parents’ Pride
Check this out. “OH SHIT!” Yeah. That’s my girl. That slide’s 20′ high. She climbed all the way to the top. Held up the entire line, because she was so small – it was cute everyone piled up behind her, then away she went. No hesitation. No coaxing or encouragement. She went all on her […]
