Today a decade — Yestertime
http://yestertimeblog.com/2015/01/12/today-a-decade
I’m almost never up before Noah on school days. In fact, most mornings he’s the one waking me with a gentle shake, fully dressed, breakfasted, and bookbagged, to kiss me goodbye before disappearing into the dark outside for the 6:45 am bus. Today though, I crept into his room while the house still slept, beating his 6 am alarm to its pre-dawn punch. Good morning, 10-year old. Happy birthday to you, kid. Happy birthday to us. I remembered thinking, like I’d only just learned the word two hours before.

All I read is the rhythm divine — Yestertime
http://yestertimeblog.com/2014/11/17/all-i-read-is-the-rhythm-divine
All I read is the rhythm divine. Tellingly, there is a high correlation between the books I find endearing and the books my kids adore. Do I think. Is a masterpiece of child literature, to be lauded through the ages? No, no I do not. But the fact that Max requests Noah read it to him on a nightly basis, and does so in some weird accent he decided was appropriate for saying Fancy Nancy (“Fawn-cee Nawn-cee”) is going to keep it safe from our “donate” pile for a good long time. Hmm, this is a problem. With ...

WardRObed: Bonus birthday edition. My 5-year old daughter is dressing me for one week. Today is the final day. With shades, stripes and swaths of swishy fabric, so ends the Great WardRObe Experiment. Five years ago, on Rosie’s first birthday, I wrote this:. All of that (save the hip-holding and “Da” calling) rings just as true today as it did then. Her hair may no longer be spiky, but I still love every one on her head. 102914 at 9:43 pm }. Love the Great WardRObe Experiment week! Every time you leave a ...

Thrill-o-ween — Yestertime
http://yestertimeblog.com/2014/10/31/thrill-o-ween
I’ve always been sort of meh about Halloween. I have no problems with dressing in costume … if someone tells me what I’m going to be. And hands me my getup already assembled. And does my makeup. However, candy. I like candy. But the decor and overall sentiment of the holiday … I mean, it’s fun, sure. I guess I’m Just Not That Into You, Halloween. No offense. To 6-foot teenagers with beards with fake blood somewhere on their body. Anyway, It’s not my favorite. 103114 at 8:39 am }. RETURN OF THE CHICKEN!

WardRObed, Day 4: Redshirted. My 5-year old daughter is dressing me for one week. Today was Day 4. 8220;You have to peek your sleeves out like that at the ends, that’s how people will know that shirt is all the way there when you wear a sweater. I like the socks like that because you have to show them! Oh, I also like this shirt because it is soooooo soft. Soft is important. Clothes shouldn’t feel funny or bad, because it will make you get frustrated.”. Viva la plaid shirts with chevron infinity scarves!

WardRObed, Day 5: Wear it out. My 5-year old daughter is dressing me for one week. Today was Day 5. Before I walked over to the mirror, I thought, “That’s it, the jig is up. We’ve officially crossed over from Kinda Fun and Funky to Straight Up Weird.” And then I saw my reflection, and for the fifth day in a row thought, “Well, I’ll be dadgummed.”. Ed note: I’ve been known to wear this dress/tights combo before, but not with these shoes or with that cardigan. Ed note: My bad. 8221; I asked. 8220;You like ...
