melting

I lay in bed with Freya early this morning, nursing her back to sleep in the dark. She had an arm and a leg thrown across me as usual. My plan was to delatch her and then go down and pour my cup of coffee. It was almost 7. Still asleep, she delatched herself. “I […]

day off

Tomorrow I’m going to Seattle by myself for the first time since I gave birth to Freya almost two years ago. I’m pretty excited. My plan is a little shopping, and going to see Moneyball. That’s another thing, seeing a movie in a theater by myself, I haven’t done that since we moved to WA, […]

She will be two in a month. Two years have passed, seemingly quickly and yet it is hard to imagine a time when she wasn’t with us. Our old lives. It has felt like a long time, too. Freya will reach the age of two and have no idea what Disney is, or what McDonald’s […]

Summer’s nearly over. But I love fall, a REAL fall, with colored leaves and crisp air and a few sunny days. Sweaters, boots, coats, scarves, and no more sunscreen (except on the face). Plus it means that Freya’s second birthday will soon be here. I look forward to her third year, when she will begin […]

light of my life

Before Freya was born, I had almost zero experience with babies or small children. I don’t have younger siblings or close cousins, I didn’t babysit much and when I did, I didn’t enjoy it. I have never been the type who LOVES CHILDREN, etc. But I knew it would be different when I had my […]

sharing the bed

Babies are not meant to sleep alone. In fact, I don’t think humans are really meant to sleep alone in general, but ESPECIALLY babies. Adults, well, some of us like to share the bed but not cuddle (too hot), but I guess what we like is just knowing our partner is there. Nearby. Within arm’s […]

goodnight milk

Decided to work on night weaning with earnest last night. Freya is almost 22 months old and I know she is nursing at night now out of habit rather than need. She can still nurse during the day of course, but we need to start focusing on other ways of getting back to sleep, which […]

Last weekend, my good friend Christina offered to take Freya for three hours to play at her house with her son, Evan. The big day arrived yesterday, and at nine o’clock I dropped my daughter off for her morning of fun. The first thing I did was to drive to the local high school track. […]

a month later

Hi, I know, I need to get it together and update more frequently blah blah blah. I’ve been kinda busy. Still not terribly summery here, unless you like your summers SF-style, cool and cloudy every morning and partly sunny in the afternoon. This seems like the worst summer yet since we’ve moved here, and I […]
