Day 341: Sibling Camaraderie
Amelia and Henry have always been really close. Theirs is a special bond that has only grown the older they've gotten and the more they've come into their own. I still remember when they were both in preschool, teachers would tell us how jubilant they would be when...
Day 340: Weight, Weight Don’t Tell Me, Part 2
Way back in June, on Day 96, I wrote a post about an effort to lose a little bit of that "quarantine 15." I talked about a few things I was going to do, like eating a little better and getting a little better handle on my health. If I'm recalling correctly, at some...
Day 339: Monkey Jeans
Quick post tonight, since I'm writing late on a busy Friday about Thursday, which was also kind of busy. But not the interesting kind of busy. Just the kind of busy that most of us contend with lots of days where we say at the end, "hold up, where did the day...
Day 338: Lazy Afternoon
We eventually got to a bit of a low key, lazy afternoon, but before that it was a pretty hectic morning. Nothing all that specific, it just felt like one of those days where there was always about 4 things happening all at once that all needed immediate attention.For...
Day 337: Secret Identity
Days of the week have a tendency to run together, particularly in the age of COVID. One day feels like another and another, and Tuesdays have always been especially nondescript. I give credit to Amelia for coming up with a way to give the day some pizazz. I was...
Day 336: Beautiful Boy, Part 5
The other day, Erin and I were talking about Henry, and marveling at how far he's come since we got the autism diagnosis last year. I've written about it here a few times, but it's absolutely worth noting how much hard work and progress Henry has been making.He has a...
Day 335: Valentine’s Day
Sunday was Valentine's Day and the kids were very excited to celebrate. And who wouldn't like a celebration that involves candy, donuts and presents?Valentine's Day, of course, has its origins in notably darker places than the modern-day hearts, cards and Cupids. Many...
Day 334: Still Cold
It was really, really cold on Saturday.OK, it's possible that picture is a bit of an exaggeration, but that's what it felt like. Low single digits and snow, it was not a day to do much venturing out. It was a pretty uneventful day, so this will be another pretty brief...
Day 333: Duct Tape Miracle
I've been having a bit of a clumsy week. Just a few examples, I managed to slice my thumb while washing off a potato peeler, and a stumble out of the car left me with a nicely bruised shin. There's also been the usual mix of dropping, spilling, etc.Thursday night, I...
Day 332: Office Mate
On Thursday, Amelia's class was having a little pre-Valentine's Day party, which started with the class having virtual breakfast together. Erin got up early and made Amelia a special breakfast of red heart pancakes for her to take to the party. Amelia had fun...
