Well, well, well, I managed to get both kids to sleep at the same time. Since we know it’s not safe to let a young sibling co-sleep alone with a newborn, I’ll have to sit here beside them with my laptop and make use of unexpected blogging time keep an eagle eye on the kids.
It’s [...]

It’s me, Kieran. I am four weeks old today, and am confronted with a fine how-do-you-do. Mommy and Leonard and Gran-Gran have nasty colds and the most they can do to entertain me is lie there and cough. I have decided that I am now old enough to seek out entertainment for myself…
Here we have [...]
Irreverent TV Critic

Liam doesn’t watch much TV, so it affects him more than most kids his age when he does see it. This morning Kieran, Liam, and I were all lying in bed when Liam spied our new TV remote and asked to play with it. I told him he could. He managed to turn on the [...]

Liam and Kieran were lying next to each other on a blanket. Liam turned his head to kiss his brother. Rooting reflex triggered, Kieran latched onto Liam’s nose. And didn’t let go.

Really, [...]

Things are vastly better around the Menagerie House this weekend. We’ve had no meltdowns by either parents or children, we got the grocery shopping done, and we had sit down dinners two nights in a row. Things are indeed much better. YAY!
Now, I just need to work on the idea that photographing two kids at [...]
Bits ‘n’ Pieces of Post-Partum Randomness…
Posted in Kieran, Liam, weather, whininess on April 7, 2007 | 7 Comments »
It’s been a week since I posted?? How did that happen? Oh, yeah, now I remember, there’s an extra kid in the mix now. I have an extreme dearth of blogging time, and an even more extreme lack of coherent thought. From what I hear, that’s about right for this stage in my parenting career. [...]

Three-year-olds. Because three-year-olds have a tendency to inflict questionable fashion choices on their newborn siblings.
