Approaching Toddlerhood, and 24 Weeks

Jul 15. 2011

Remember how I said that we were working on transitioning Claire from 3 naps down to 2? She continued to hover back and forth between 2 and 3 naps for over a month. But in the end, it took a traumatic visit to the pediatrician's office to officially push her over to the 2 nap schedule. The lengths of her naps are still inconsistent, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Her nighttime sleep has still yet to return to her pre-teething days and so she will wake up at least once per night more often than sleep all the way through. But now that she is able to stay awake for up to 3 and a half hours...

Discipline Styles

Jul 14. 2011

Lucky for us, the web has been jam-packed with Harry Potter tributes and celebrations. One of my favorites thus far is Architectural Digest's interview with Academy Award–winning production designer Stuart Craig, the man who helped bring J.K. Rowling's vision to life.

Learning to Balance (Opposites Attract)

Jul 13. 2011

J is finally back from his business trip, and I couldn't be happier.  :mrgreen: This was the first time in years that we had spent a night apart, so being away from each other for three nights was plain torture. We had promised each other that we would video chat every night via Skype, but you know what happened to my computer.  :cry:  I really wanted to cry when I first saw him this morning, and I'm not just saying this because I know he will read this. And to show my appreciation for him, J returned home to a...
