I’m up and attempting to get my first pumping of the day in before Calvin wakes up and demands food.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 9:11 AM
Calvin is now up and I assume hungry though he isn’t screaming as loud as usual.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 10:51 AM
Calvin might actually be trying to take a nap without my prompting.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 11:05 AM
The cleaning people are here so I’m taking Calvin for a walk.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 12:13 PM
Perfect timing. The house cleaners came after my pumping and left just as it is time for Calvin’s next feeding.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 12:58 PM
Just finished listening to the Graveyard book. Now I’m ready for the book club Monday if I manage to make it there.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 3:46 PM
Calvin just got back from the doctor’s office. Relevant stats: 13 lbs 1 oz (75th %), length 23 1/2 in (75 %), and head circ 39 3/4 cm (50%)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 5:12 PM
Calvin’s currently napping. I’m trying to decide if I want a nap too.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 6:44 PM
I should have eaten while Calvin was sleeping. He’s been crying ever since he got up.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 7:01 PM
Just finishing up dinner. I’m very fortunate Calvin took a break between unknown reasons for crying and crying for food.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 9:28 PM
The problem with healthy food is it seems to take longer to prepare than unhealthy food.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 9:28 PM
I just had a fantastic apple but you’ll note I didn’t have time to eat it until after Calvin went to bed.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2009 9:58 PM
Just finished my last pumping of the day so I’m off to bed.

Calvin was not excited to learn that today’s morning routine started with a fingernail clipping.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 3:36 PM
I forgot my grocery shopping list on the way out the door but still got everything :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 3:38 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed playing dress-up today!”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 3:38 PM
I was told Calvin was especially fond of the pirate hat.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 4:49 PM
Naturally since I vacuumed today Calvin thought it was a great afternoon to dump sand in the house.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 5:12 PM
Calvin kept bringing me an empty formula can and crying until it finally occurred to me that he wanted milk.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 5:12 PM
I did’t give him milk but I did give him some bunny graham crackers.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 5:46 PM
It turns out if I clap each time Calvin put broccoli in his mouth, he’ll eat his vegetables.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2010 5:47 PM
@calvinsdad walked in the door and Calvin said “addy!”
2013
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2013 11:14 AM
@calvinsdad Oh, that’s sad.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2013 4:26 PM
If we weren’t planning to move in a couple of years I’d petition the furniture committee for wall-to-ceiling bookshelves in the living room.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2013 4:26 PM
I just came home with 15 new books.
2014
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2014 6:03 AM
It’s so good to be back home :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2014 9:13 AM
I’m celebrating our return home by making an American vegetarian breakfast.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2014 11:06 AM
Today is gorgeous and our yard is actually green.
2016
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2016 10:13 AM
Ok, I think I have the major purging done in the kitchen.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2016 10:27 AM
Bare feet! Though possibly the rocks outside don’t count as a “safe environment”. https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/700childrens/2016/05/flat-feet-why-kids-should-go-barefoot-this-summer
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2016 2:08 PM
Today I learned that dates can get moldy.
2017
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2017 7:22 AM
Ok . . . apparently it’s another day for cat pictures.
2019
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2019 8:29 AM
Both my kids have finally hit the age where they sleep in and it’s glorious.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2019 2:51 PM
I forgot to pack sunscreen. I’m going to come back very pink,
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2019 3:01 PM
The good news is Julian is wearing a hat and long sleeves and Calvin doesn’t burn easily.
2020
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2020 5:37 PM
Oh. That’s a different rice noodle than I thought I had.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom May 26, 2021 2:59 PM
I’m excited to get closer to moving into our house. However, I’m really going to miss seeing this plant in my walk. It has such a presence.
