It takes some effort, but with a little negotiating I can manipulate the path of the jogging stroller with an ever-patient 10 month-old (he’s always, always patient in the stroller) past the weedy corner of a fence, from one back alley to another, past an huge old red brick and white columned mansion to find, [...]
And that my friends is why there is a gun-toting monkey in the world…
It’s raining now, like yesterday and hopefully tomorrow. It’s a kind of warm hard rain that announced its coming with a rumble and darkened the apartment, as if night had fallen upon us. It pounds against the window in patterns, trying to reach in and communicate with the whir of the dishwasher perhaps, or the [...]
Home with hot headed baby today, not angry, just with a temperature. And of course when you’re sick, you get treats. Amazing how far one half of one oreo can go… All the way down to his toes. That’s how far. But oreos aren’t complete without milk. Best not to cry over spilled milk. Best [...]

Baby Led Weaning is fancy terminology to say: Let your baby start eating the foods that she is ready for, when she is ready for them, however she is ready to take them. It is to say, do not go invest in Gerber stock at 4 months, 5 months or even ever. When your baby [...]
Houses can be full of what-ifs; Studios can have only certainties. In a house you’ll pack the linen closet with sheets enough to remake every bed twice, just in case. In the studio, it will just be much easier to keep track of one extra set for each bed. In the house you’ll keep a [...]
We’re giving it up on an extremely short experiment of crying-it-out. My extremely short, I mean we let him cry himself to sleep once, in a one and a half night experiment. My husband is programmed to be an attachment parent and since I’m hardly more of a hard-ass than he, I’m giving in. We’re [...]
