Ups

• Calvin was restless during the night but didn’t actually wake up till 7am again. I really hope this is a trend.
• I had time to pay the credit card and bills.

Calvin Moment

• I recently realized that when I tell Calvin “no” he actually learns really fast. I have a small DVD shelf in my kitchen that I use for spices. Before Calvin was born, I kept wondering how I was going to baby-proof it. By the time Calvin arrived, I still didn’t have a good solution. Initially when he started crawling around, he’d head straight for the herbs and spices and gnaw on the brightly colored bottled. However, I told him, “no, not for baby” a couple of times and would move him back to the dining room. Now that I think about it, he hasn’t shown any interest in those shelves for months. The same goes for our “library shelf” and the space heater in his bedroom. I suspect I should cherish this phase of obeying me while it lasts

Simplification

• Shredded some more financial documents and threw away some very, very old paint.
