I know more than you think I know. Well-done work is easier and faster to grade than poorly done work. It takes me much longer and costs much more mental pain to grade a bad paper or test than a good paper or test. Why don't you make it better for both of us by just doing good work? I don't take it personally.

Saturday, June 28, 2014. Dear Irelyn: One and Two Months. I had a one month post for you in my drafts that just never got finished. So now you are two months old and I'm just going to combine the two! Your first month you were just about the gruntiest baby ever. Because of that you gained the nicknames Grunt-a-babe and Little Baby Grunting {among others}. You have since grown out of that and I have to say that I miss it quite a bit! You were bound and determined to poop every time your diaper was off!
