Last week, my teenager spilled a milkshake on his MacBook Air and I’m convinced it was on purpose. You see, he’s been lobbying for a PC because my current ability to satellite parent requires the household to be on Apple, lest I will have to come up with different parental controls. Parenting … [Read more...]

Toddlerhood International: El Salvador, Day 4
I've now been away for five days, and haven't seen Toddler since I put him to bed six days ago. Spouse and I have been talking via Skype, so we have been in regular contact, but Toddler is a rocket and he only whizzes past the screen occasionally. He has been a blur, chirping "mama, out" and trying … [Read more...]
Dabbling in Humour.
This little guy is becoming a big boy, every day a bit more. He's recently been playing with humour, and stumbled upon this face. He makes it to make us laugh, and it makes him laugh. These are funny times. I'm looking forward to all the jokes ahead. … [Read more...]
Lucky Boy.

"Ohmas? Ohmas? Omhas?" Toddler mews, his voice … [Read more...]
Catching Crabs.
One of the things I love about living on the coast is the access to all the seafood I could possibly eat, more or less for free. Spouse and his friends fish for trout and salmon, so our freezer is always stocked with whole and smoked pink fish; if we feel like clams, it's not a long trip … [Read more...]
Toddling into the Terrible Twos.
I guess I could tell you the kid is advanced, because he seems to have hit the Terrible Twos a few months early. We've been doing pretty well - we've been managing moods and mitigating disasters (LIKE MOTHEREFFING CHAMPS), but tonight the levy broke and he spilled over and Spouse and I got … [Read more...]
Just Like His Mother.
Toddler is very adept at maneuvering the playground single-handed; he has to be, because if he wasn't that cookie might actually have to leave the firm grip of his other hand. … [Read more...]
