Calvin has had a really strange morning. He started waking up at 4:30 and was wide awake around 5:30.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2009 10:45 AM
I got up and fed him and he fell back asleep in my arms until 8:00.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2009 10:46 AM
We set off on our walk late since he had woken up so late but even then he didn’t fall asleep until more than half the walk was over.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2009 5:35 PM
Calvin is obviously ready for bed. Have I mentioned I hate time change?

Calvinsdad found my authentic Indian cookbook and is now enthusiastically comparing the recipes to the regions they come from.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2009 7:16 PM
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him peruse any cookbook before this.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 11:25 AM
I think I’m done with everything I have to do at work today. Now off to bed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 11:25 AM
(if I can stop coughing again)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 4:06 PM
Calvin, with supervision, is rubbing moisturizer on his feet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 4:33 PM
Sometimes I have trouble explaining “the rules” to Calvin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 4:33 PM
I can see how it’s hard to understand the difference between pouring water into containers outside versus inside.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 5:40 PM
From daycare: “Calvin really enjoyed putting his hat on his friends heads then saying ‘No! Calvin’s!’ today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 6:21 PM
Why does Calvin insist on putting his very food dirty fingers in his eyes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 6:28 PM
Oh good. Now he’s poking spoons in his eyes and thinking it’s funny when I take them away.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 6:48 PM
Hah. Of course HIP decided to go down again tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2010 7:02 PM
I should make sure Calvin takes a bath tonight but I just don’t have the energy for it.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2011 8:15 AM
Calvin is still sleeping. Good thing I already started working.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2011 5:34 PM
Calvin pulled out my step, for step aerobics, and told me to do Tai Chi on it. He appears to have Tai Chi and step aerobics mixed up.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2011 5:51 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed Miss Beth’s Stories.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2011 5:51 PM
Oh, and he didn’t have a nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2011 5:54 PM
Calvin is placing all our placemats on my aerobic step. When asked why, he replied, “I’m not sure mommy.”

Smoke detectors should be required to tweet which locations they’re chirping from.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2014 7:16 AM
3x in a row Walmart hasn’t had the large Adams chunky peanut butter I make a special trip out to get. Do people hate chunky?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2014 7:37 AM
Given the squabble over Boulder county signatures, I developed a fear that my ballot might end up contested.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2014 7:37 AM
After all, I arrived in Colorado weeks after getting married and my signature then looks nothing like it does now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2014 7:38 AM
However, I checked and my ballot has been marked as received. Whew :)

2015

Julian is opening his mouth for cereal this morning!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2015 7:18 AM
Wow, that was a good breakfast. Several tbs of wheat spiked with peanut butter and 5 oz of formula.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2017 8:12 AM
Julian believes today is shorts weather. I am not as convinced.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2017 8:21 AM
The weather looks rainy. It might be a good day to go to the zoo.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2017 10:29 AM
It appears to be daddy day at the zoo. So far 4 dads and no moms.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2017 12:00 PM
Julian and Calvin lounge on a large bronze hippo.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2017 12:04 PM
So far Julian’s favorite part of the zoo is the puddles.
Julian stomping in a puddle.

Julian and Calvin sitting on a large bronze bear.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2017 12:58 PM
Picture of tarantulas with holes cut out for Julian and Calvin to stick their holds through and be a tarantula.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2018 6:19 AM
I really don’t like time change.

@calvinsdad, “Is it worse than traveling to a new time zone? Because you don’t have the physical displacement to go along with the temporal displacement?”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2018 7:28 AM
I don’t like time zone changes either.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2019 6:06 PM
Today Calvin learns to make mashed potatoes. I’m trying to figure out essential dishes he should know, that he also really likes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2019 7:34 PM
So far we’ve done Mac & Cheese and Potato Cheese Soup. So . . .heavy on the starch and dairy. Not sure what we’re going to try next week yet.

Elon Musk’s treatment of his Twitter employees is appalling. Sometimes layoffs are necessary. However, this was the wrong way to do it. I hope all Twitter employees find fantastic new jobs they love.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Nov 4, 2022 5:19 PM
I’m going to start backing off my use of Twitter. I’m still planning to read updates from people I follow. However, I will primarily post at https://octodon.social/@kiesa
