I am falling down in my reporting in that I should be relaying all of these stunning sentences the boy puts together. I should be taking notes at all times. He should have a list. But I don’t take the notes, so… yeah. Ummm… I’ve also been wanting to note the words that he still . . . → Read More: he has a way with words and sleeping First, there were the hats. He’d spotted the hat boxes in the closet yesterday and demanded access. This morning, access granted: He liked the Russian military hat the best. I daresay it was fetching.

So, where was I? Oh yes, we saw her again on Tuesday. This time, Jonah came with us. It was kind of an observation visit. We were not going to discuss anything difficult or heavy or make any plans in front of him because clearly he understands every . . . → Read More: the sleep consultant experience continued (hook removal) One of the reasons I may have been lax at updating all and sundry on the sleep progress is that I feel disconnected from it.

As I took my turn in the chair with . . . → Read More: rainbow So much for my vision of myself as a garden-harvesting fruit-canning supermom. First, we left several bags of plums in the front hall for a week. Hi, spoilage. Then, a few days ago, I culled 2lbs and made jam. It was delicious. I didn’t try to preserve it.
