the adventures of ander and zaza: Included
http://anderandzaza.blogspot.com/2013/11/included.html
Monday, November 11, 2013. I did not want Zaza to cramp Ander's style on his post-THOR-screening "free range 'playdate'" at the Grove, but the big girls (who do not have younger siblings) WANTED her, and BEGGED and PLEADED to keep her, and made PUPPY EYES, and she so wanted to be included, and so I relented. All while I sat at Starbucks and browsed in the bookstore and the fancy dress shop. Never has there been a happier 9 year-old. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

the adventures of ander and zaza: Pixie
http://anderandzaza.blogspot.com/2013/06/pixie.html
Sunday, June 30, 2013. She has begged for a month to get a pixie cut. She was tired of being hot. She was tired of hair flopping into her eyes when she ran. She was tired of fussing with barrettes. But I wanted to make sure it wasn't a whim. And I suppose I needed time to convince myself and Ander and Dubbadad that it IS her hair. To buy some time, I bargained with her (all the while assuring her that even if she was bald. It was a super-cute haircut. We celebrated at the cafe around the corner. So yeste...

http://anderandzaza.blogspot.com/2013/09/it-continues-to-surprise-me.html
Saturday, September 14, 2013. It Continues to Surprise Me. That nowadays I can say, "We will be leaving for Grandma and Poppy's house in an hour, so you might want to shower," and then -. Showers are actually taken! Teeth are brushed, and hair is tidied! Spiffy outfits befitting an at-home-and-very-Reform Yom Kippur break-fast are chosen, and put on, and accessorized! And I am blindsided. I walk down the hall - all ready to nudge and nag and help the wee children - and am so so so stunned. As Close As Th...

Sunday, March 13, 2011. New Haircut (More Tatou Than Hepburn, and 100% 'Za). Up to my cheeks". Not in the way when I run or draw". This is its curliest, post-spritz-of-water form. (Today it was more tousled and piece-y, and the bangs were spiky.). That is just darling! My daughter is forever trying to straighten her curls, drives me batty. So nice to have a short cut when it gets hot out, better for swimming weather too. What a wonderful feeling to have a good hair cut. It was in the 60s here today, and ...

the adventures of ander and zaza: Sometimes Monday Requires War Paint
http://anderandzaza.blogspot.com/2013/04/sometimes-monday-requires-war-paint.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. Sometimes Monday Requires War Paint. She asked me to wake her up early so we could do this: five colors, two fingers in each color. Now that it is finally blue and bright out in the morning, we have also been getting up early to try some of the fancier hair-dos in this book. Squeezing this extra (sometimes ONLY) just-the-two-of-us time into our days has been.mood-enhancing? Yes, all of that, I think. For us both. There are days where I fret about disappointing her, about damaging.

Tuesday, January 07, 2014. A Prescription For a Serious Case of Post-School Snark. What I forced him to read today, for half an hour, before starting his homework, in hopes that he would slough off a couple of his newer nesting doll layers and remember what it was like to be nine. If nothing else, it bought us all half an hour of bicker-free time. The gist of the one-sided 'conversation' I had with one of the children today (but also a conversation I have with myself, daily):. There are no excuses. Yes, ...

I finished reading it to her tonight, and I cried big hot tears when I got to taciturn Marilla's longest piece of dialogue:. I last read Anne of Green Gables. When I was in 8th grade, on the recommendation of my mother who had loved it as a girl. I instantly, passionately. But this time around, as I read Anne of Green Gables. For her part, Aliza loved the book...
