Those penguin days: September 2011

http://thosepenguindays.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Monday, 5 September 2011. I fed her AGAIN, then dumped her on Amps with instructions to beg the nursery to have her, and drop them both off there as soon as possible. He finally left in a torrent of in-and-out, door clanging, baby-screaming, Nina-singing chaos at 10. I got up shortly after that, went to work, and was still tired all day. Probably). Do I feed her to sleep too much? Probably, yes). Should we try 'cry it out' (CIO)? Should we try 'pick up, put down' (PUPD)? Grows, obviously. But what? They ...

Those penguin days: March 2013

http://thosepenguindays.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 19 March 2013. The last day of 1. This is the last day that I will ever have a one-year-old, barring major changes to the life plan. I watched the two girls in the bath this evening, happily playing, and I thought to myself: what if in a couple of years, there was a 6yo, a 4yo and a 2yo in this tub? Nope But this is the exact age Nina was when I got pregnant with Annika, thinking that it might take a year, that I knew I wanted another child, that I wanted a baby. She loves animals. She sings!

Those penguin days: October 2012

http://thosepenguindays.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Friday, 19 October 2012. After my good long rant the other day about colds, I have made some decisions. Usually I don't take the view that we can really control things. But this. So, here is what I have collected so far, from myself and others:. Handwashing: aggressive, regular, vigorous, proper handwashing. Washing of other people's hands, particularly those people under 4' tall who are likely to insert their hands in my mouth/nose/ears/eyes. Echinacea (particularly when getting a cold). If anyone has a...

Those penguin days: June 2014

http://thosepenguindays.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, 26 June 2014. How could she already be 6? Nina at her 6th birthday party. She noted that you can count by 9s by going up 10 and then subtracting one, so there's a pattern; that when you do that, you never get to 11, and that when you count by 2s or 3s you also never get to 11. This was Nina at 5 1/2: on her way to discovering primes. But she believes in the tooth fairy. She has lost 3 teeth. My point: Nina is fantastic. Thursday, 12 June 2014. Vegetables, ice cream and innocence. And I think th...

Those penguin days: November 2011

http://thosepenguindays.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 16 November 2011. I kid you not. Iron dry (ie, wet). Cupboard dry plus! And, for those who bought a tumble dryer to, er, make their clothes actually pretty much dry, we have the special option: Extra dry. Wow. This place will always amaze me. Wednesday, 2 November 2011. How did the distinction between me enjoying something and Nina enjoying something get so blurred? I think there is nothing that having children makes me aware of more than the passage of time.
