I didn’t give Calvin ibuprofen last night as it didn’t appear his teeth were hurting him. This turned out to be a mistake.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 8:11 AM
Once he goes to bed, I don’t like giving it to him as the process wakes him up more. However, at 1am, I gave up.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 8:11 AM
After that, he slept pretty well until 6.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 8:14 AM
Calvin is eating his alternate bites of spinach/potato and banana fairly well.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 8:28 AM
The pediatrician suggested I give Calvin things like cheerios so he gets use to the texture even if it makes him gag for now.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 8:28 AM
Apparently cheerios dissolve fast enough they aren’t a big choking hazard. However, the gagging is still quite unpleasant.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 8:37 AM
Wow! I think Calvin managed to swallow most of a cheerio! (This is exciting because I have to puree applesauce as it has too much texture)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2010 7:14 PM
Finally ordered Calvin’s new car seat and not a moment too soon. He’s within 1/2″ and 1 lb of out growing his first car seat.

Getting a yogurt and oatmeal covered Calvin from high chair to potty without him getting his hands on my good work clothes is tricky.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 8:21 AM
I think Calvin is singing a song to his milk to the tune (more or less) of the ABC song.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 4:25 PM
We went to the park right after daycare. The ground was snowing but the equipment was snow free and mostly dry.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 4:26 PM
Calvin enjoyed playing for a bit and then watched the skateboarders.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 4:26 PM
However, as soon as I told him it was time to go home, he started screaming and hasn’t stopped. Even cheese isn’t consoling him.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 4:26 PM
I think part of the problem is I stayed longer than I meant to so his snack got delayed for too long.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 4:31 PM
From daycare: “Calvin loved playing outside in the snow today.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 5:49 PM
Calvin and I are indulging in breakfast for supper tonight: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Waffles with Banana Cream.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 6:23 PM
Calvin, “more abple! more abple!” Me, “you have applesauce in your other cup.” Calvin, “oh.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 6:31 PM
Calvin is “singing” along to Robert Miles’ 23am album.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 6:31 PM
I think Calvin has more @calvinsdad’s taste in music than mine. We compromised on Robert Miles.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2011 7:31 PM
Well . . . Calvin just tore his first library book.
2012
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2012 2:29 PM
Duplos may have given Calvin some unrealistic ideas about what toys should be able to do.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2012 2:30 PM
I just caught Calvin trying to dismantle his [non-duplo] car carrier tractor trailer so he could make it into a flatbed truck.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2012 5:01 PM
From daycare, “Calvin had fun sorting M&Ms.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2012 5:02 PM
This week, Calvin napped 1 out of the 4 days at daycare. Interesting to see what he does next week.
2013
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2013 9:51 PM
Hm, @calvinsdad made it to bed before me. This is not a good sign. Piano movers coming at 9am so I have to be awake before then.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 2:18 AM
The small mammals are restless. Julian’s sick (throwing up). I’m not sure what everyone else’s excuse is.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 7:27 AM
Well, that was an exciting night but Julian looks like he might be better now.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 7:33 AM
I wish I knew if it was just a short-term bug or if something Julian ate yesterday caused the tummy upset.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 7:35 AM
He was really scarfing down the tofu so if it turns out he’s allergic to soy I could see that being the problem.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 7:36 AM
(I can verify at least parts of supper weren’t digested :( )
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 8:48 AM
In retrospect, it was probably not a good idea to leave a msg for Julian’s doctor right before I had a chance to nap.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 11:19 AM
Well, Julian just threw up again so probably just regular stomach bug. Nurse says to give him Pedialyte today.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 11:36 AM
Good thing we have multiple carriers. My Boba is currently in the wash and we’ve resorted to the backup Beco.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 11:36 AM
Pride goeth before a fall. I’m not going to resort to the Bjorn. Julian’s too heavy for it.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 12:41 PM
Ok . . . the first Pedialyte experiment just resulted in yet another change of clothes.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 3:14 PM
I think I want to put a tarp over everything in our house.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 4:26 PM
I’m having trouble deciding if I’m just sleep deprived or if I’m getting sick too.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2016 6:45 PM
Julian appears to be asleep so I’m off to bed hoping tonight is better than last night.
2017
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2017 4:32 PM
I’m belatedly realizing how thankful I am we were not trying to sell our house during the Boulder 2013 flood.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2017 8:31 PM
The house is too big. How is this possible?
2018
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2018 11:35 AM
Google maps needs an option for “I have kids and need at least 10 min of lead time to get out of the house.” Also, walking time based on a toddler’s random stop and starts.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2018 11:46 AM
Calvin saw this playground and said, “ooh, a wizard’s playground!” Presumably because of all the purple?
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2018 12:45 PM
Calvin is sitting in the corner of the playground talking LEGOs with a new friend. So much for exercise.
2019
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2019 12:38 PM
I’ve successfully retrieved the kids in Yakima. Now lunch and then hoping the pass is still good.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2019 3:57 PM
We have arrived home! The pass was even clearer on the way back.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2019 4:01 PM
Julian is singing a song on the potty. I’m not sure if it’s original or something he’s heard before:
“Holding on, I’m holding. I’m never going to fall off because I’m holding on” (repeat)
2021
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2021 12:10 PM
Well, really glad my new job didn’t start today. I feel bad for anyone who has to be functional after seeing the news from DC.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 6, 2021 8:15 PM
Ah work clothes, how I have missed you. (Ok, just the shirts. I’m still planning on wearing jeans and slipper socks).
