Calvin woke up early again.

For Calvin’s breakfast: Lentil soup followed by cherries & amaranth

Calvinsdad took care of Calvin for a bit so I could take a nap.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2010 11:16 AM
Off to the park with Calvin.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2010 12:15 PM
For lunch, Calvin is having strawberry & banana tofu.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2010 12:20 PM
Calvin has figured out how to suck his cheeks in and pucker his lips.

Calvinsdad’s purchase of a plane ticket within India caused a hold to be put on our Visa. I suppose it’s nice they pay attention :)

Bananas are great, they override the flavor of a variety of foods :)

I tried to feed Calvin his formula in a sippy cup and this didn’t work very well.

Went to Once Upon a Child and bought Calvin some more 12 month stuff. Also swung by Target and picked up a shirt for $0.75.

Calvin awoke 1 1/2 hrs early and now is extremely cranky and clingy.

We saw a double stroller in the park today. One side had a child and the other side had a dog.

From daycare: “Calvin painted with black and white at the easel this morning.”

Given our current cat bills, I wonder what Clifford (as in, the Big Red dog) must cost to maintain.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2012 7:05 PM
Calvin enjoyed watching a crane help build houses from out the window in daycare.

Preschool is closed today so Calvin is going to be home while I try to work. Should be interesting.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2013 8:17 AM
I’ve started out our entertainment today by pulling boxes out of the basement in hopes he can amuse himself for a bit with them.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2013 12:23 PM
Oh dear, now Calvin is playing with the railing by climbing up on the outside of it.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2013 12:23 PM
Apparently his prior adventures have not impressed on him that this is a bad idea. Though, it does remind me of my brother . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2013 8:12 PM
This afternoon I laid down on Calvin’s bed, closed my eyes, and next thing I knew I was being trussed up with string like Gulliver.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2013 8:13 PM
When asked, Calvin hastened to assure me that this was to keep me safe and prevent me from “falling off the bed.”

It’s 50 degrees outside and the snow is almost all gone. If I get ambitious, maybe we’ll have another park day. Maybe not too.

For the record, I approve of pills that decide to sugar coat the outside. Makes it much easier to swallow them without a disgusting taste.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2014 12:20 PM
That was a much colder park visit than I was led to expect. The temp dropped after breakfast.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2014 1:21 PM
Yet another park: https://kiesa.festing.org/wordpress/2014/02/15/wonderland-lake-park-boulder-co/

What to do with leftover breakfast crepes? Masala crepes for lunch :)
2016
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2016 8:47 PM
I want a self-cleaning house.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2018 7:12 PM
Well, that was weird. Calvin was eating his supper fine, got to the sweet potatoes, ate them, and then threw them up. Only the sweet potatoes. Seems fine now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2021 11:49 AM
We have arrived at the rocks!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2021 1:51 PM
Here’s Julian in his cave. (His had worse cell reception so it’s only getting posted now that we’re home.)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2021 1:54 PM
It was raining steady the entire time we were there but the upside of that was there was only one other family on the rocks.
Also, I promised the kids hot chocolate once we got home.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2021 2:11 PM
Why do people with hard water install glass shower doors?
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 15, 2021 4:54 PM
One of my oven mitts has developed a hole :( (@calvinsdad and I think we might have gotten them as wedding presents so they have had a pretty decent run.)

I feel that this real estate ad pairs well with the Saturday Night Live Zillow obsession parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCszr3x77jk
(For context, it’s this house: https://www.zillow.com/homes/512-Centennial-St-SANTA-CRUZ,-CA-95060_rb/16105119_zpid/)
