Calvin got up at 6:30. I think we just missed Nana as she left to go back to Washington.

Calvin is taking his 2nd nap of the day.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 12:07 PM
I think this is the first time Calvin has successfully napped in his bassinet for at least a month.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 12:59 PM
Calvin (unintentionally) wiped his mouth with a burp cloth after spitting up.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 2:54 PM
Calvin’s sleeping while we (very quietly) eat dinner.

[I double checked the timestamp and it really claims to be 2:54. Why we were eating dinner that early I couldn’t say.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 5:07 PM
I think Calvin’s starting to consciously put things in his mouth.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 7:01 PM
Calvin has been on-and-off napping since 5 (with a break for supper).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 7:01 PM
Now I’m afraid he might be down for the “night.” If so, I’m worried about when he might wake up tomorrow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2009 7:13 PM
Calvin woke up after all. Now we’re engaged in some exciting tummy time (with only minor complaining from Calvin).

Calvin decided to wake up at 5:30 today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2010 7:34 PM
He’s pretty proficient at eating purees with a spoon on his own now. Unfortunately, it usually ends with the bowl being thrown to the floor.

From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed experimenting with dried oatmeal today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2010 4:54 PM
Calvin _really_ likes pesto.

Calvin just stormed up the stairs, shut the baby gate, then slammed his door because I won’t let him watch more TV.

[Note: He’s actually significantly easier as a real teen, at least so far.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2011 5:41 PM
People keep saying that before you know it Calvin will be a teenager but I had no idea it’d happen this fast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2011 6:29 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun playing in our ‘boat.'”

Just picked up my new glasses. Not sure about the frame style but the prescription seems better.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2012 7:31 PM
Well, family duplo night isn’t very relaxing when mommy, daddy, and Calvin all have different visions.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2013 7:11 PM
I’m ready for cooler (not cold) weather.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2013 4:25 PM
Weird. Willow has been throwing up more than 5 these days.

We have the Sunday edition of the New York Times delivered the old fashioned way: on our driveway. So weird :)
A copy of the New York Times folded to show the top half of the front page. The text is blurry and hard to read but there's a large picture showing two rows of people facing each other, with heads bowed, possibly with soda bottles in between them.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2015 9:00 AM
Young Calvin sits at the dining room table with the New York Times opened in front of him. He might be reading the sports section, it's hard to tell.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2015
Grandma is cuddling with Julian and Calvin at the same time.
A blurry picture of Kiesa's mom sitting on the sage green sofa with her arm around Calvin who is holding baby Julian.

I think we have too much curry for the number of people who can tolerate how hot it is.

The boys have safely arrived and are now allegedly going to sleep in their new bedroom.

I like airports fine but I can’t imagine going to them just to hang out: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/airports-open-up-to-terminal-tourists-who-just-want-to-hang-out/

The books are not getting packed fast enough.

From the LA Times: “Unvaccinated are driving uptick in virus cases” and “‘The virus will find you,’ epidemiologist warns those who are still unvaccinated”.

It’s really stressful right now being the parent of a kid who is too young to get vaccinated.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2021 10:51 AM
I realize the odds that Julian will die, or even need to be hospitalized, if he gets COVID-19 are really low. However, Julian got pretty sick in 2019. Not bad enough to need to see a doctor but it was borderline since even with ibuprofen, his temp stayed high.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2021 10:51 AM
Just a run-of-the-mill fever fever was pretty stressful.
@calvinsdad and I alternated taking off work and I spent most of the time holding him while he lay like a ghastly shadow of his normal self.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 12, 2021 10:51 AM
So, even if Julian likely wouldn’t die, I don’t want him to get sick. Particularly, when it could have been prevented by other people behaving responsibly.
