Come, Mommy: Bored With Your Usual Snack?
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2008/01/bored-with-your-usual-snack.html
Thursday, January 17, 2008. Bored With Your Usual Snack? It used to be that yogurt-covered Cheerios. Were the go-for snack around here. But today, things have changed for the messier. The Menagerie House proudly presents. The yogurt and Cheerios covered baby! Says The Lemur, "Mommy, it's good thing Casey likes to clean babies and floors! That is very true, Son. Good observation! By the way, Kieran had his nine-month check-up this morning. We finally found a new pediatrician. Posted by Liesl at 6:55 PM.

Come, Mommy: Little Kids Are So Literal
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2008/01/little-kids-are-so-literal.html
Monday, January 21, 2008. Little Kids Are So Literal. Tonight I heard Kevin and Liam in the living room. We've had issues recently trying to instill the idea of privacy and private activities in our son; his hand are often in his pants because, well, he's a little boy. (Why did no one inform me that this is one of the downsides of potty training? Kevin: "Hands out of your pants.". Kevin: "Hands out of your pants! Liam: "But I just like my hands IN my pants.". Liam (absolutely horrified): "Oh, no! I want ...

Come, Mommy: Fun With Ferrets
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2006/05/fun-with-ferrets.html
Monday, May 22, 2006. I get a lot of hits from people looking for answers to various ferret questions. I've been keeping track of them for a while, and here are my (not to be confused with an expert's) answers to the recurring ones. 1 How big will my ferret grow? 2 Can I give Imodium to a ferret who is pooping liquid? I wouldn't recommend it. Diarrhea in ferrets can get serious very quickly, and you need to find the root cause of the problem. Call your vet immediately. 3 Why is my ferret going bald?

Come, Mommy: 10 Months Of Brotherhood
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2008/01/10-months-of-brotherhood.html
Wednesday, January 23, 2008. 10 Months Of Brotherhood. I fell off the track with these "Brotherhood" posts - too much confusion over the holidays, I guess. At any rate, here we are at Ten Months of Brotherhood. How could it possibly have been ten months already? Usually when ferrets start to go bald. It's not good news. Mr Happy Baby and his favorite toy, a music box. He loves to turn it on by himself and rock back and forth to the beat. It's a great thing to soothe an awake baby at 3:00 am. That is one ...

Come, Mommy: A Painted Lemur
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2008/02/painted-lemur.html
Thursday, February 07, 2008. You might think that if I heard the voice of a certain Lemur, alone by himself in the bathroom, saying things like, "I'm decorating myself! I would check the situation out. I did After I finished reading my e-mail. This is what I discovered. I decorated myself with your lip gloss! He sure did decorate himself. With the really nice lip gloss. I got for Christmas. But he was so pleased with himself and had such a good time painting that I just can't be mad! Oh on the lip gloss!

Come, Mommy: November 2005
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 20, 2005. I bought some Coke Zero the other day. We're still fighting this respiratory bug, and I was looking for something to drink that didn't involve tea and/or water. At any rate, Liam spied the bottle and ran over to Kevin, pleading "Soda! Kevin picked him up and replied, very gently, "You know, son, soda's not very good for you.". Liam's face crumpled, he put his hands over his eyes, and murmured softly, "Oh, my.". Posted by Liesl at 1:15 PM. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Come, Mommy: December 2005
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 26, 2005. We live a clean life. Really! A few days ago my father-in-law arrived toting a two-foot-tall nutcracker as a Christmas gift for Liam. Apparently he's starting a new tradition in which every year Liam will receive a new nutcracker. What we're going to do with an entire town's worth of these decorations, I'm not sure, but that's an issue for another day. Baby do more crack! It was very cute, actually. Baby wants to do crack! I hope no one reported us to the authorities. Saturday,...

Come, Mommy: Hey You! Howdy! Hi!

Thursday, January 10, 2008. For the neato button! Posted by Liesl at 10:20 AM. Well, I'm no lurker, of course, but hi! At Thursday, January 10, 2008 12:20:00 PM. I'm neither a lurker nor in Nepal.but hello! Hope your little dears are feeling well soon. At Thursday, January 10, 2008 12:56:00 PM. Totally defeating the purpose, as another non-lurker, but "hi! Hope the boys feel better soon (I'm home with a sick one today too.). At Thursday, January 10, 2008 1:22:00 PM. Another non-lurker saying Hi! Hi, I'm ...

Come, Mommy: In Which Liam Expresses His Confusion
http://menageriehouse.blogspot.com/2008/01/in-which-liam-expresses-his-confusion.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. In Which Liam Expresses His Confusion. We were running late to nursery school one day last week, and of course traffic chose that day to be extra-heavy. A stressed-out driver sped by, zooming around us and the four cars in front by using the shoulder as a passing lane. I mumbled something under my breath (I thought! About "idiot drivers." From the back seat came the voice of a very confused little boy. Why are you calling him a 'Giddy-up Driver'? Posted by Liesl at 8:13 PM.
