Text of the page (random words):
completely finished i m going to go ahead and take it live because keeping two websites is tricky and i don t know enough code to go importing and exporting dangling posts one of the fun parts i m changing my name something that reflects this chapter we ve only recently begun in the last seventeen eighteen months our two mom household of twins most of the posts here have been transferred over there but not all the set up is different with several deliberate changes that i m excited about you can read more about them by heading on over to the new website by clicking on the logo or link below motherhood squared the zoo october 14 2009 in 15 18 mos toddlerhood video 1 comment incidentally i just noticed that harper first wore that outfit at 12 months thereby disproving my theory that clothes barely last a couple months background music is animal crackers by the wee hairy beasties on the animal playground cd produced by putumayo kids guadalupe river october 12 2009 in 15 18 mos friends toddlerhood travel 3 comments since our lake experience we ve been reluctant to go anywhere for an overnight stay so it was with some trepidation that we finally took up an offer from a co worker to stay at his weekend home in new braunfels and this past weekend was one where both the house was available and we had no other major plans tubing was out on account of the cold weather fast moving river and you know toddlers that can t swim we felt rain in our palms and in moments where the drops retreated we searched out lizards picked up sticks and ran up and down hills with the whoa that can only be experienced hand in hand with a toddler plus cold weather equals lots of books and laps and fleece blankets delicious on saturday gamma my mom joined us from san antonio i made a rosemary pork tenderloin with roasted fingerling potatoes and steamed vegetables and we almost got to enjoy it before the kids as on cue woke from their naps still though i invited annie up who blogs over at we are fambly over a year of reading one another s blogs and commenting and exchanging the occasional email i up and asked her over to which jennifer said great strangers and my mom said what if they kidnap babies and to think that i m the introvert nevetherless annie and her partner and their as beautiful and tall as she looks in pictures but taller toddler spent the better part of the afternoon and early evening with us mateo was jude s first older boy kiss too and after they left we all agreed they were the nicest stranger baby kidnappers we ve met paw paw jimmy october 9 2009 in 15 18 mos family leave a comment bring us back a stuffed animal camel from egypt paw paw croup turned our boy into an angry asthmatic seal october 6 2009 in 15 18 mos illness mateo 5 comments so i get a phone call at 3 58 yesterday afternoon from jennifer that she is on her way to the pediatrician with the boy but i can hardly hear her because it seems she s carting around three elderly emphysematics that are trying to sing row row row your boat in harmony in rounds except that it s mateo trying to breathe i m gathering my bag car keys and shooting an email to the boss that i m leaving as i pellet jennifer with questions all in an effort to determine if he s getting enough oxygen is he blue no is he red yes did he have a fever low grade when did he start doing this immediately upon waking from his nap was the humidifier on yes what s his general disposition he s eating his trail mix as i talk to you she says apparently the boy s stomach is one of his major vital organs fifteen minutes later i met them at the crosswalk of the medical office building of our pediatrician conveniently located on the campus of a hospital breathing was labored but the singing smokers gone his coughing and breathing sounded horrible so it was kinda fun to be that family in the sick waiting room that the other parents are trying to keep their kids away from the benefit of course was that mateo had both doodle sketches to himself a quick assessment by the nurse showed barely a fever at 99 6 something i think he had coughed himself into what with all that kinetic energy heating up his body the one that weighed 28 1 lbs the doctor came in shortly thereafter and assessed his lungs and throat which were amazingly but thankfully clear for that reason no antibiotics or breathing treatments were necessary he said he had croup and gave him an oral steroid dexmethasone to open up his airway as we were getting ready to leave he started to sound a bit better but still with the wheezing which i captured here as he washes his hands in case you want to know what croup sounds like turn up the volume not only to hear him better but to hear me ask for confirmation from the nurse that what we re hearing from him is okay me in my most professional valley girl dialect ugh this is why i don t like being on video afterward we headed home with instructions to turn on a cool mist humidifier in his room something we d been doing the last couple nights and naps anyway because both kids have had runny noses since thursday and cough since saturday in addition we separated them almost immediately after baths last night lest they start playing which inevitably leads to chasing which necessitates running which requires heavier breathing which causes coughing which leads to airway constriction something we were trying to avoid because it was now after clinic hours and dexmethasone is far less expensive at the clinic than the emergency room thank you very much so off we went jennifer with harper to her room and me with mateo to his room for quiet reading and calmer play we braced ourselves for a long night but they both slept soundly throughout here s a general description and guidelines for addressing croup as laid out by our pediatric clinic and for my fellow type a s out there a more detailed article on viral croup and practical therapeutics written in the american family physician journal banned books week was last week october 5 2009 in events 2 comments in 1959 an author and illustrator named garth williams wrote a book called the rabbits wedding the beautifully illustrated book tells a story of two rabbits a black one and a white one that met in a large forest and lived happily ever after how controversial right lots of folks in the 60 s thought so and for that it was removed from libraries in the south or transferred to reserve shelves because it depicted the marriage of a black rabbit and a white one leading some to believe it promoted interracial marriage and was thus inappropriate for children i am so glad times have changed but have they for the last 28 years the american library association ala has celebrated the freedom to read during it s annual banned books week always the last week of september i know i know that was last week i ll spare you the details of how hectic last week was and this week will be and tell you that you can see a complete list of banned or challenged books for 2008 2009 here on the list harry potter j k rowling beloved tony morrison catcher in the rye j d salinger adventures of huckleberry finn mark twain and tango makes three peter parnell uncle bobby s wedding sarah s brannen wanna read any of these better watch out each of those and many more have been challenged restricted or removed from public libraries because somebody didn t like them for them and thus they don t think they should be available to anybody think this nonsense about book banning only happens in the south think again banned books week may be over but you can have an impact any day of the year buy a book and donate it to your local library there are other things you can do too building a library october 1 2009 in activities toddlerhood 6 comments each fall the friends of the houston public library have a children s book sale the majority of the books are sold for 1 2 and the revenues are used to support the houston public library this was the first year i went actually this was the first time i had even heard of it another one of those niblets of information i wasn t fed until i had passed into the underworld of parenting i was there when it opened on the first day and only wish i had had my camera to capture the beauty of tables upon tables of books organized by board books early readers fiction non fiction bilingual advanced reader families entering with wagons i ve noted that for next time children sitting engrossed in a book while parents picked up more educators thumbing through selections to add for their classrooms rookies like me just standing there overwhelmed with where to start i hovered around the board books mostly though i picked up plenty of early readers for special reading time lest those fragile pages get ripped out on first look while eavesdropping on more experienced parents and educators calling out their favorite authors and illustrators and the children repeating the name of their favorites like look here s a maisy one and i m all scrambling to see what the kid is looking at trying not to yank it from his hand too hard and i m all a mouse but what do i know about wildly popular children s books incidentally what are your favorite early childhood authors and illustrators harper continues her obsession with elmo so i reluctantly picked up one of those want me to recite it because after six days and about fifty readings i practically can the kids have matching dora and diego toothbrushes that they are fascinated with the sucking the toothpaste not so much the brushing so i picked up a dora and diego book despite the fact that i still don t know who those characters are besides those however i steered away from television character books and instead picked up books exhibiting ethnic and cultural diversity manners and noticeably sleep story books i guess i m tired i love that they re developing a love for books reading is part of our weekend family time as well as our evening routine even after baths play milk brushing teeth and books on their own they ve developed an additional bedtime cue grabbing a book and heading to their respective rooms as a way of telling us they are really ready for bed and there we have special one on one reading time jennifer and i alternating kids each night lately they both say book and read during our wakeup routine and so we often get a book in even before breakfast letting them hold and read a book has also made diaper changes a little less acrobatic best part of all i walked out with 42 books for 45 47 little crickets chirping september 29 2009 in 15 18 mos toddlerhood video 4 comments domestic arts september 28 2009 in working mom 5 comments growing up my grandparents owned a dry cleaning and tailoring business i can remember summer days my grandmother in the front part of the store bifocals balanced on the bridge of her nose threading a needle el chapulín colorado on the television in the background the rhythmic hum of the machine wheel the swoosh of the steam the smell of the starch and the chatter of the ladies working all combine to create a symphony of my earliest childhood memories my mom also sewed she was and is quite skilled though she focuses more on quilts now back then it was repairs here and there curtains and clothes oh my god the clothes in my pre teen years this was a horror because your social standing depended almost entirely on the fact that your clothes had the right labels on them and handsewn by mom was not one of them now more than two decades later i ve been thinking about learning been thinking about it for a good seven or eight months have had some people supporting the idea and others telling me i m crazy and that i don t have any time and why would i do that well i m motivated partially by the art of it partially by the connection i feel to my mom and grandmother through it but mostly because i am a cheap ass let s face it woobies need replacement and repair and why pay someone else to do it when i should be able to do it myself so about a month ago someone in my neighborhood group posted a classified ad putting their singer machine up for sale for 30 i scooped it up granted it s still in the back seat of my car but this past weekend i took my first sewing lesson i took the two hour beginner class at sew crafty and this place is so cute the class familiarized us five students with machines basic tools and backstitching i loved it our project that pulled all our newfound knowledge together was a simple clutch which i made into a diaper holder instead my first on my own project harper s trick or treat basket a round puffy felt ish basket that looks something like this but that matches her costume better yes i know i can probably find one online yes i am sure there are free patterns out there yes i m sure they have the exact colors and size i want at a local supermarket but that is not the point it will be my first from scratch venture in perpetuating an art through another generation of women in my family more timely than kanye s apology september 24 2009 in uncategorized leave a comment so yeah sorry for the sparce wordy content i ve been spending my free hour of the day trying to figure out the web host i m moving to formatting pictures deciding on content heading down one road then wanting to change everything thereby frustrating my consultant actually not really she just tells me so what you are wanting to do now isn t what we talked about in the beginning why don t you pick a starting point and once you have time and resources to go down that other road you can i hate being told what i can and cannot do but she s probably right because otherwise i won t launch until a date far beyond the point that blogging is like that vcr collecting dust in your closet my goal is no later than october 16 mainly because jennifer and i are doing a half marathon relay on october 25 and i named our team the name of the website no pressure follow me on twitter more photos top posts i m moving and changing my name the zoo guadalupe river paw paw
