Sophie’s New Sneakers

February 14, 2010 – 4:32 pm

We took Sophie to a Stride Rite outlet store in order to buy her her first pair of tennis shoes today. We decided to let her pick them out. As such, she is now the (very proud) owner of (boy) navy blue and white tennis shoes, with Buzz Lightyear on them—and yes, they actually light […]

What I Do All Day

February 10, 2010 – 4:09 pm

Sometimes, as I settle into bed at night I think, What did I do all day? Two years ago, when I had a full-time job, I still did laundry. I made dinner. I freelanced in addition to my full-time work. I went out with friends and watched TV and read and kept the bathroom clean. […]

Snowy Day

February 10, 2010 – 3:20 pm

This past weekend, it snowed! And everyone knows, when it snows, you wear your snow boots. And your fancy skirt. (And leggings and a shirt if you have mean parents like I do.) Snowy days are good for wrestling on the bed … and making chocolate chip cookies … and eating the chocolate chips that […]

Tadpole Time (aka The Frog Bog Incident)

February 10, 2010 – 10:44 am

I recently took Sophie to Tadpole Time, a special, hour-long program at the Newport Aquarium for children Sophie’s age. We were able to be in the aquarium before it opened—Sophie saw a toad up close, touched a baby cockroach from Madagascar, listened to a story about ocean noises and ran like crazy through the aquarium […]

Twin Fest

February 10, 2010 – 10:09 am

Several weeks ago Sophie and I got to play all morning with Tari and her twin girls, Whitney and Lauren, and Michelle and her three girls, Marlise and twins Karis and Zari. We had a blast and plan to get together at least once a month. I’m already imagining what it will be like when […]

Sophie’s First Haircut—Part 2

February 1, 2010 – 9:13 am

This is Nicholena. She works at Pump Salon, which is where Mom gets her haircut. After putting a booster seat in the chair, and sitting me on it, she wrapped a huge apron around me. Next, she spent a long time looking at and running her fingers through my bangs. Then she pulled some hair […]

Sophie’s First Haircut—Part 1

February 1, 2010 – 9:03 am

Mom, enough is enough. I know you’ve been desperate for my hair to grow for a long, long time, but look! It totally covers my eyes! The back is OK, but the bangs are out of control. We can cut it? Really? Yay! “Why don’t you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum.” –P. […]
