Calvin had another rough night last night. He was waking up before I could give him another dose of ibuprofen.

Calvin found the Wii Operations Manual and was paging through it.

Well, it’s official. Calvin doesn’t like peas, even when I alternate them with fruit. However, the apricot/applesauce went down well.

Calvin looked like he was ready to fall asleep but now he’s in his crib complaining.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2010 9:31 AM
I think he may have drifted off now . . .

Calvin’s new car seat has arrived. As promised, it’s huge.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2010 7:36 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun playing with the sensory balls.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2010 10:31 PM
Well, I’m pretty sure I have the basic part of the car seat installed correctly.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2010 10:32 PM
However, the “versa tether” has me mystified. I’m being to suspect it won’t work with our Rav4 in the rear-facing position.

Yesterday Calvin saw a real train. Not surprisingly, he insisted we stay and watch until it was gone.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 7:51 AM
He has also taken to pointing out buses and demanding that mommy provide more when they leave.

Today we have plans to go get my install of Calvin’s car seat critiqued.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 2:24 PM
Whew, finished cleaning the bottom level of the house just in time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 2:27 PM
Now I really want to air out the house but I think it’s too cold :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 5:31 PM
Got new muffin pans for Christmas. Now I must test them out ;)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 5:47 PM
We’re having “Easy Asian” tonight and Calvin is scarfing it down. It’s lovely to see all those veggies being consumed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 5:51 PM
I think Calvin may have met his vegetable requirements for the rest of the week tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 6:28 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had a good time panting at the Easel this morning.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 6:29 PM
In other news, our car seat check went fine. The only mistake I made was in tightening the seat too much.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 6:32 PM
Apparently you are suppose to test whether the car seat is tight enough by trying to move it with your “non-dominant hand.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2011 8:42 PM
Calvin might finally be asleep . . . If I’m lucky.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2012 5:22 PM
From daycare, “Calvin had fun playing sink or float.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2012 7:47 PM
Odd, Calvin was asleep by 7:15pm.

I just bought a cheap tablet for $10. I wonder, how bad does a tablet have to be to not be worth $10?

Apparently Julian threw up again. Though, I’m not discounting emotional trauma of mommy having to work . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2016 4:22 PM
Calvin did not get @calvinsdad’s travel bug. There isn’t any place he really wants to see.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2016 5:13 PM
It’s good to learn new things but I didn’t want to learn this today: [This URL no longer works. However, based on context, I believe this was the day our au pair accidentally put dish soap in the dishwasher instead of dishwasher detergent.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2016 5:14 PM
Also, my dishwasher now smells like salad.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2016 5:18 PM
On the other hand, my dishwasher is suds free!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2017 10:47 PM
I’m getting sick so of course I decided it was important to skip sleep in order to house plan.

Julian is exploring a kid-sized burrow at the zoo.
Julian stands in the middle of a large concrete burrow with a whole in the middle. It comes up to about his waist. He is backlit by sun streaming through the trees.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2019 11:01 AM
Julian says Calvin is in a sticky web.
A rope web hangs in the air. Calvin is in the middle with a slightly sulky look on his face drinking out of a milk carton.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2019 11:05 AM
Julian is a turtle.
There is a large fake turtle shell that Julian is under to make it look like he is a turtle.

Julian definitely provides vaguer answer to questions than Calvin. I ask what Julian wants for breakfast. He says, “something with one egg.” He means pancakes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jan 12, 2020 12:14 PM
This is spaceship Bob.
Four cardboard boxes are lined up in a row in a living room. The front box has an angled front, like a windshield, and Julian sits inside with a cardboard control yolk. Calvin sits in the second box, with the word Bob stenciled on the side, and two more boxes are behind him.
