I’m here, I’m here. Busy. Also there’s the pesky job, Facebook, PTO, and 2nd grade math homework. Back to the fun with kids:
I need to get this down before my kids stop doing it and it disappears from my memory. They have two topics they discuss in back of the white [...]

Lilyisms and Dawitish

Yesterday produced some great kid-speak:
Lily must have heard John talking to our new dog about who is the Alpha Dog in our house. Lily was affectionately petting the pup and saying:
You’re not the Elf Dog. Daddy’s the Elf Dog here. Do you love the Elf Dog?
On the way to swimming lessons, there [...]
This is my life

Yesterday I pulled something in my lower back, and by 6:00 I was hurting enough that I had trouble standing up straight and walking. I decided a bath might help, so while I was soaking in the tub each family member stopped in to check on me.
Lily made me a card that said
“believe in [...]

A couple of examples of Lily’s irresistible charm, quirk, and unique perspective from this past weekend. It is a humbling experience to be loved by Lily.
she danced and danced front and center to 80’s cover band OPM this weekend, even falling on the floor with me to the B52’s ROCK LOBSTER. She was [...]

We live in a neighborhood that is largely Jewish, with many Orthodox Jews. Over the weekend we’ve seen many families walking to services and large gatherings at several homes close by. This evening Lily and I were driving to Heidi’s, and we saw a man in the typical black clothes/hat with a long [...]
First txt msg

John taught Lily how to “text” yesterday. She locked herself in her room as she composed her first text message and sent it to my phone, then giggled hysterically as I heard the message and read it. She was sure I wouldn’t know who sent it, that I would think I had a secret admirer. [...]

For those of you who don’t know, Lily and I follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. (Lily calls it the Pacific Turbohydrated Diet) It’s a diet designed to help those with intestinal disorders heal. Many people have found their lives changed after trying the diet, after suffering from Crohn’s, colitis, Celiac, and other digestive diseases. Even [...]

Lily crawled into bed with me before sunrise, wrapped her little arm around my waist, and said: Mommy, I love you so much that I don’t have the right words to explain it.
I know just what she means.
At the dinner table

We were all seated at the dinner table, and the kids were doing surprisingly well with their manners. Until this:
Dawit: Grandma, how old are you?
Lily: Dawit!! It’s not appropriate to ask old people how old they are!

We were completely smitten with our children this evening. We played a board game, the kids performed several patriotic songs, read Henry and Mudge while snuggled together in Lily’s bed. I caught them hugging and telling each other of their love for one another. John and I sat and talked about how lucky we are. [...]
