First visit to the Children’s Museum
May 31, 2010 at 11:08 pm
On May 6th, we headed down to the Children’s Museum with buddies Claire and Sadie and their moms Katie and Kate. I had a bit of apprehension as I remembered past school field trips spent frantically counting heads as my charges became absorbed into the hordes of screaming, multi-age banshees. I had also recently spoken [...]
How many big girls does it take to push one swinging Sylvie?

Happy birthday, Sadie Lady!
May 24, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Sylvie’s friend Sadie recently turned one, and we headed over to her pad to celebrate. What felt like hundreds of babies and their parents descended on their little Somerville-sized living room. Sylvie had a great time clowning for guests, playing with other babies, and even eating some vegetarian pizza. The guest of honor seemed to [...]
Yard sale, yard sale, yard sale!
May 19, 2010 at 11:07 am
Anyone who knows me knows I love a good yard sale. The thrill of the hunt, the early morning weekend drive, the voyeuristic pleasure of picking through a stranger’s castoffs, the satisfaction of a score of something I didn’t even know I needed…all good stuff. Sylvie will be schooled in the ways of the scavenger [...]
Recent Play Dates with the Birthday Twin (one of them, anyway!)

Sylvie has already met several babies who share her birthday, but none have quite as much in common with her as Emmeline. Sylvie and Emmie were both born on May 29th, both have double cowlicks and crazy baby hair, both hate naps, and both love playing with pet toys and random found objects much more [...]

Sunny Saturday fun
April 27, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Jon and Sylvie had some special Saturday morning time together while I hit a couple of yard sales. Hooray for yard sale season! It was pretty much a bust except for an awesome pair of OshKosh overalls. There are pictures somewhere out there of me wearing the same exact ones in 1980 or so. They [...]
A rockin’ Earth Day
April 25, 2010 at 10:36 pm
We celebrated Earth Day’s 40th anniversary in Boston at a free They Might Be Giants concert on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. It was pretty much an all-day affair, and we headed down there with Kathy, Phoebe, Julia, Kate, and Sadie. The place was packed with people and the weather was doing all sorts of crazy [...]
Tumble Monday
April 25, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Daddy had an extra weekend day this past Monday, thanks to one of the two pseudo-holidays we have here in Massachusetts (“Patriots Day” just happens to fall on Marathon Monday, as “Evacuation Day” just happens to fall on St. Patrick’s Day – such coincidences!) We used this extra family time to check out a local [...]
