Lessons From A Gremlin: If At First You Don't Succeed...
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2010/10/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Saturday, October 30, 2010. If At First You Don't Succeed. So we're having an issue with the Gremlin that keeps coming up. When he was a newborn, he had colic (medical definition: fussy-maker) and reflux (medical definition: fussier maker), making him the most miserable newborn this side of the Mason-Dixon (that's right, Civil War-era reference). He would not sleep, he would not eat (not without doing his best Linda Blair imitation. 1) Identify the cause (or possible causes).

Lessons From A Gremlin: Feeding a Picky Eater
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2011/07/feeding-picky-eater.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Saturday, July 23, 2011. Feeding a Picky Eater. I have been charged with feeding the family in the rare instances the Mother of the Gremlin relinquishes control enough to allow it. When I do this, I am again astounded at how much she takes on when the Gremlin comes to dinner. Tonight, for instance, I did a quick search on 'best kid friendly recipes.'. I would just like to say, to every chef who has a book or a website on this subject: I hate you. The Gremlin does NOT eat. The Grem...

Lessons From A Gremlin: The Special
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2011/04/special.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Tuesday, April 5, 2011. We have been using a technique for a while that I realized I should post. For quite a while, whenever our son would fall, it worked to shout "horray! Or cheer for him. However, there were a few times that it didn't - a big bump or bruise would cause the natural reaction of crying. And then it happened. A tumble while playing lightsabers. In the back yard left a wailing four year-old. After ice didn't help, and a Band-Aid. So we tried The Special. The What I...

Lessons From A Gremlin: Half an Hour a Day
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2011/05/half-hour-day.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Sunday, May 29, 2011. Half an Hour a Day. In trying to give my son what I did not have growing up, I have anxiety about not being around for my son - when leaving him and my wife to do anything. As a result, I rarely make plans before our son's bedtime and even then only with significant encouragement from my wife. However, being around does not necessarily mean involved.

Lessons From A Gremlin: September 2010
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Wednesday, September 8, 2010. To assist the Gremlin. With cleanup and the general state of his room, we recently purchased this toy sorting bin organizer. We came to find that this simplified life for several reasons. Then I flipped it over and took the end that was previously on the ground and fit it on top, making sure each of the bars was in places in the notches. Once that was in, they were easy to tighten, and then I re-tightened the other side. It's very easy to drop bins...

Lessons From A Gremlin: One For Another
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2011/05/one-for-another.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. As we make room for a new member of the family, we run into the issue that the Mother of the Gremlin and I have been concerned about for quite some time:. The Gremlin's stuff is everywhere and it's hard to get rid of. We definitely wouldn't have had enough room for a baby if we had just left the Gremlin's room alone, so we began introducing the concept of decision making into the Gremlin's shopping habits. Until the Darth Maul lightsaber. When the Gremlin ...

Lessons From A Gremlin: Parties and Creativity
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2011/06/parties-and-creativity.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Saturday, June 25, 2011. The Gremlin attended a party the other day that was Star Wars themed. It was one of the most creative and best-planned events I've witnessed. Props were well-created and dispersed. Each child was given a lightsaber in the form of a foam swimming pool noodles. Purchased from the local thrift store; and finally there was a pinata that had been made out of a balloon to be in the shape of the Death Star. June 26, 2011 at 5:50 AM. Ahhh - so fantastic!

Lessons From A Gremlin: Product Review - Balanc Bike
http://lessonsfrommychild.blogspot.com/2010/10/product-review-balanc-bike.html
Lessons From A Gremlin. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Product Review - Balanc Bike. The Gremlin received a Skuut Balance Bike. From his aunt and uncle for his birthday. We saw these in Chicago and thought they were hysterical, but weren't incredibly sure of the practical uses (other than a bike he can't use after he's 6). So the Gremlin would half-walk, half scoot around for the first few days. The Gremlin responded to this by looking at a nearby jogger and saying,. Pamphlet with a map of Ballard on the ba...
