Lux et umbra vicissum…

I found out on Sunday that the AFA (American Family Association) is calling for a boycott of Procter & Gamble. Focus on the Family is supporting the boycott as well. Upon looking into it a bit more today, I see that the AFA is actually just calling for a boycott of three specific product lines […]

I finally got Alexis to pedal her tricycle by herself if only for a few pedal strokes. 🙂 Wanna know how I did it? Well, the child has been begging to ride the silly thing in the street because she sees the other kids riding their bikes in the street fairly regularly. I’m not going […]

We’ve named Branwen’s teddy bear Geronimo because he jumps out of the crib so often. Speaking of jumping out of bed, every once in a while Alexis has a terrible middle of the night. A few hours after going to sleep she’ll start fussing and crying, often pretty loudly. When we go in to try […]

Both times from our supposedly potty trained daughter who […]

*sigh* Alexis seems to be an introvert. She generally likes to go off in a corner and play with a doll or read a book rather than interacting with any other kids that might be around. Not that she’s always that way… she does play with other kids sometimes and seems to enjoy herself. Actually, […]
