Blogs, not houses.
I’ve decided to abandon the clunky old Wordpress 2.0.2 blog (barely) supported at Yahoo! in favor of a proper Wordpress blog, so I’ve moved over to Third Culture Kid(s) - xilerui.wordpress.com.
See you there!
I have a post about TCKs brewing, but right now C. is trying to engage me from the bouncy seat, and MM is managing to get all her toys everywhere. So, here’s a couple of recent pictures to amuse and entertain:
(we decided that he’s an earth-tones kinda guy)
and
Daddy and daughter, both looking cute. I managed […]
Of the quick kind, since C. just woke up from his nanonap.
Today is C.’s 3 month birthday!! I realize this is mainly a milestone of the babywear kind, but he’s now a quarter of a year old.
Still not showing signs of sleeping in the crib, though. And he has a cold that’s making him a […]
I’m toying around with the idea of creating a password-protected dissertation blog. It would probably be very light on the “why oh why can’t I get work done???” side, and heavier on the explication-with-images-and-video-where-appropriate side. With snippets of writing along the way. The reason I’m playing around with this is simply that I get enthusiastic […]
It’s 6 am. MM has yet to wake up, C. is sleeping fitfully in his chair, and I’m online. I should be sleeping, and god knows I’ll be nodding off all day because I’m awake now, but I couldn’t resist this quiet time before the cacophony begins, and I can’t think straight, to […]
Every so often, I feel the need to kind of recap some of the good things that are happening in my life. It seems especially important right now, given that I’m running on fumes, sleep-wise.
So, some good things:
I had a nice, long letter from probably my best friend in Japan a couple of weeks ago. […]
There’s a line in Toy Story - and, believe me, I know them all - where Woody is trying to get Buzz away from Hannah’s tea party after Buzz finds out he’s just a toy. Buzz, having gotten drunk on the tea and wearing his natty hat and apron, shouts at Woody, “Don’t you […]
I finally figured out what C. is doing with his daytime sleep. Before he was born, he’d have an active day or two - really active, with much grinding of head in pelvis - and then he’d have a quiet ‘rest’ day. That’s exactly what he’s doing now; one day of practically no sleep, and […]
MM and C., right after we got back from the hospital. She has her Big Sister t-shirt that Auntie H. bought.
C., back when he used to sleep. This is about week #3, I think.
Still in the papasan chair (actually, he still is sleeping there. It works). Week #6-ish.
Having some floor time.
Where we’re at these days. […]
I haven’t really updated on the kids much lately. No pics or anything! But I’m a bit inspired by Kim’s wonderful news about the arrival of her own 2.0, so I thought I’d do a quick post on MM and C.
MM will be 3 at the end of May. I’m kind of counting the days. […]
