I gave Calvin a whole apple to play with while he eats breakfast. He seems to understand it’s food but he’s not sure what to do with it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:12 AM
I think Calvin was trying to chase the vacuum with his truck.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:15 AM
I’ve finished making Calvin’s breakfast for tomorrow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 12:53 PM
I’m checked-in online and Calvin has his (required) window seat!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 2:45 PM
Signs that my staff book buys may be out of hand: the library devotes an entire courier bin to my purchases.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 4:00 PM
I failed Google’s human test 5 times. Maybe I’m an android after all?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 7:20 PM
I now have 1 GB worth of new audio books on my iPod.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:50 PM
Well, I’ve finished testing all my luggage configurations and I *think* I can manage all by myself in the airport. I hope.

Me: Calvin, guess what we’re doing today!? Calvin (hopefully): Running! Me: Maybe, but we’re also going to mop! Calvin: No.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 3:27 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting with socks on his hands . . . right up his alley :)”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 4:26 PM
I wonder if one reason Calvin likes Bach so much is it’s one of the few composers whose name he can almost pronounce.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 5:01 PM
I hate it when I forget lentils take forever to cook in Colorado and I can’t rely on recipe directions.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 5:31 PM
I’m now wondering what part of “Lentil Croquettes” sounded easy to me . . .

Made Eggplant Pizza from this recipe book https://www.amazon.com/James-McNairs-Vegetarian-Pizza-McNair/dp/0811801004/ and Calvin’s actually eating the eggplant!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:13 PM
Also, we used the cast iron pizza pan which worked out really well.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:40 PM
I think we’re going to need another bookshelf for 2.1’s books.

My paycheck is so much happier when I’m not paying for health insurance.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 4:13 PM
Julian just tried to put his own shoes on. It was adorable.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 4:31 PM
Chives are growing!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:03 PM
Calvin’s imagined explosion set off our smoke alarm. (????)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:03 PM
I have no idea how but he says he was imagining an explosion and the smoke alarm just went off. I see no signs of smoke and it’s now silent.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:06 PM
Just to clarify: the explosion was pretend, the smoke alarm was real.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:32 PM
Today I found hemp, coconut, soy, walnut, pistachio, coconut, quinoa, rice, cashew, and almond milk. Why no peanut milk?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:59 PM
Got a new yogurt flavor to try out of morbid curiosity: blackberry serrano (yes, as in the pepper).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 6:01 PM
Hm, Calvin made more floor mess than Julian did. Something is wrong with this picture.

I really miss thrift store shopping.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:02 AM
Calvin had a restless night. I think it’s because he’s congested.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:04 AM
Calvin is trying eggplant for breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:47 AM
Calvin was being suspiciously quiet so I looked over and discovered he had found my iPod.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 11:29 AM
Calvin only took a 40 min nap this morning and, probably as a result, is really cranky.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 5:43 PM
Went outside after getting back from daycare so Calvin could briefly enjoy the sun.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 5:52 PM
Calvin hasn’t quite figured out that spoons are more efficient than hands for scooping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 6:08 PM
From daycare: “Calvin is good at holding his bottle”

---

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:11 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had so much fun playing with the play dough and making the animals hop.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:11 PM
In other news, Calvin is _extremely_ cranky. Even daycare commented on it and usually he’s happy there. I think he’s getting sick.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:21 PM
Opening the “sandbox” seems to have vastly improved Calvin’s mood. Note: we need more sand.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 6:11 PM
Calvin is insisting we need to listen to Bach during supper.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2013 11:53 AM
Calvin has been informed that in order to leave his room, he must have pants on. Calvin is staying in his room.

It’s amazing the difference a couple of years makes between selling houses.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:48 PM
We just had our first house showing and our house isn’t even on the market yet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:48 PM
Also, it turns out I can more or less get the house in showing condition in an hour by shoving everything into Ted’s empty drawers.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:49 PM
Now to remember where I “stored” everything.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 9:27 PM
Calvin appears to have decided to get dressed in his dress shirt and grey pants, for Friday school, and then sleep in them.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2019 10:06 AM
Julian is refusing to go outside because “it’s too bright”.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2019 11:32 AM
Julian just asked where our au pair was going and I said I didn’t know. He said, “Maybe she is going to a taco party!” (He’s really enjoying the Dragons Love Tacos books.)

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 8:50 AM
Calvin is having great run roaming all over our living/dining room with his truck.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 10:02 AM
Calvin is down for his morning nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 12:46 PM
5 has usurped Willow’s place on the couch.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:37 PM
Calvin got bit in daycare today but they reported he didn’t seem perturbed (the other child is teething).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:38 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed pushing around our walking toy today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:48 PM
Calvin is feeding himself with a spoon!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 5:53 PM
Of course, this increases the mess exponentially.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 6:08 PM
Oh good. Now Calvin is having fun dropping his food onto the floor.

From daycare, “Calvin enjoyed playing with gloop.”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2013 7:37 AM
Well, that’s odd. We all slept in our own beds last night.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2013 7:39 AM
However, Calvin still had company because he told me he dreamed he slept with robots.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2016 8:42 PM
Ok . . . well that took longer than I was expecting.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 7:58 AM
Calvin is eating his broccoli cheese breakfast fairly well this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 8:15 AM
Well, it appears I used up Calvin’s patience eating with the broccoli and now he doesn’t want any lentil soup.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:09 AM
Calvin is very unhappy this morning and I don’t know why.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:13 AM
I guess I’ll put Calvin to bed but it seems awfully early to me . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:36 AM
As I suspected, Calvin really doesn’t want to go to sleep yet but I’m not sure what to do *sigh*

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 9:56 AM
Well, he might be asleep now but it took him a long time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 12:18 PM
Oh, I just realized Calvin is still sleep. Probably should wake him up . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 12:24 PM
Oops, turns out he was already up. Earlier, I thought he was waking up so I turned off the monitor but he wasn’t so I continued working.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 3:38 PM
Just finished work for the day. I got a lot done but now my head feel foggy.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2010 8:34 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed touching a stuffed cat.”

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 7:35 AM
I came into the room this morning to hear Calvin saying, “Full own! Full own!” He was relating he had fallen off his bed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 2:58 PM
I returned my Sony Walkman. The combo of Windows 7 and bookmarking issues made it unusable *sigh*

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 4:42 PM
Our couch has been thoroughly violated today: milk (Calvin), vomit (Cat5), and urine (Calvin).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:06 PM
This is a very bad potty training day. Both for Calvin and the innocent sofa.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:07 PM
In lighter news, at the park Calvin was pretending that the bark chips in his hands were pie to eat.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:23 PM
I’m very susceptible to TV. Thomas is carrying ice cream to the children. Guess what. I have ice cream ingredients.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:35 PM
From daycare yesterday: “Calvin had fun walking on the balance beam this morning.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2011 5:37 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting with a car (?) and gluing a green collage. ”

Calvin wants our new house to be a castle.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2013 8:29 AM
Calvin just made a drawing of some cat vomit then came to inform me that a) there’s cat vomit and b) he made a drawing of it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2013 5:07 PM
Calvin is now happily watching a new Curious George DVD he bought with his allowance.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2013 5:07 PM
I’m a bit bemused that a DVD can cost less than a paperback book.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2013 8:19 PM
Calvin and @calvinsdad are currently having an argument over who likes sleeping with mommy best.

But I don’t want to eat vegetables. I just want to eat ice cream!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2015 6:15 PM
I must have bought enough SF today that Amazon finally got enough info to suggest a reasonable purchase on the Kindle.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 1, 2018 6:25 AM
Not impressed with @Twitter today. Saw a promoted ad claiming the flu vaccine is harmful which, given how many kids are getting sick, is irresponsible. (Yes, I reported but I bet anything they don’t think it violates TOS.)

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 29, 2016 10:11 AM
We have found the Lego books at SFPL!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 29, 2016 4:11 PM

I really wanted to make something decadent and sugary for breakfast but I have a sore throat so maybe I should be healthy instead :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2010 11:56 AM
Calvin didn’t want to go down for a nap this morning but ended up sleeping more than 1 1/2 hr.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2010 6:15 PM
Went to Target and acquired bowls that suction to Calvin’s highchair.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2011 11:58 AM
Well, the good news is I already thought of everything tech support told me to try. At least I did my due diligence.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2011 2:03 PM

Calvin can both pause and restart his video now. I’m a little surprised it took him this long.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2013 11:20 PM

One of the first things I did when @calvinsdad left was fully close his closet doors. I just found one ajar which implies we’re haunted as that’s not something I did.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 6:18 AM
I suppose the other explanation might be that the kids were playing hide and seek yesterday and I didn’t notice till just now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 7:04 AM
I was planning to work from home today but I may not have enough Kleenex.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2010 7:30 AM
Calvin woke up around 6:30 today. He seems less than enthusiastic about eating solid food this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2010 1:21 PM
It was a good thing Calvin stayed home today as doing slides for praise music was quite chaotic.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2010 9:28 PM
Calvin’s very unhappy. Unfortunately, if I go up and try to comfort him, he wakes up all the way and is even more unhappy when I leave.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2011 9:03 PM
Calvin lost my iPod a couple of months ago and I just replaced it with a Sony Walkman.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2011 9:03 PM
Still think the iPod is probably the best mp3 player out there but I’m getting annoyed with Apple.

Deep thought of the day from @calvinsdad, “Sometimes we have to do fun things that we don’t want to.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 8:24 AM
This was said to Calvin who is protesting a visit to a park with an allegedly very nice playground.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 10:14 AM
Ugh, what is it with us living in houses where past people boref holes in the floor for cables.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 12:51 PM
There’s a garbage disposal downstairs in the family room but not in the kitchen.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 12:51 PM
When I see on the lease there is a garbage disposal, I assume kitchen.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 3:37 PM
So far I’m really liking San Francisco. Yesterday night was cool and drizzly, felt just like WA. Today nice and sunny like CO.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2010 6:25 AM
Have to go to Greeley today so I’m up before Calvin. I forgot how good it felt to start the day with a shower.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2010 5:17 PM
Back from Greeley. Staff day was very fun but now I’m tired.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2010 6:04 PM
It looks like Calvin took almost an hour nap at daycare this morning which is better than it could have been.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2012 10:53 AM
Calvin is currently throwing a tantrum because we are not allowing him to crawl out his [2nd floor] window.

Calvin is taking great delight in putting tiny foam animals between my toes. It looks like he’s giving me a pedicure.

Calvin appears to have reached the stage where it’s embarrassing to be kissed by mommy.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 1:25 PM
Diapers have arrived! Now I think we’re ready.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 3:45 PM
Went to work on Tuesday and someone leaned over and asked my manager if I was pregnant. At 36 weeks most people don’t have to ask.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 5:17 PM
That might have been an excessive amount of broccoli to eat . . .

---

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 8:26 AM
Well, that’s random. I got pre check but Calvin did not. We both have global entry.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 8:28 AM
At least it wasn’t the other way around. That would have been aggravating. I think I messed up Calvin’s name (didn’t include middles).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 8:28 AM
No, never mind . . . I did enter his name right. Ok. Random. Right.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 9:27 AM

Calvin slept in again.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 8:10 AM
Calvin just tore off his bib. I foresee a messy future.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 9:10 AM
I’ve packed up tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch for Calvin since I’m going to be in Greeley the whole day.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 7:08 PM
Just put Calvin down to sleep but he doesn’t seem particularly interested yet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 7:08 PM
I fed him pureed spinach & eggplant lasagna for supper and he seemed to like it.

Go bag is mostly packed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:31 PM
Hm, it seems like packing for Calvin isn’t including nearly enough stuff. I wonder what I’m going to forget.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:35 PM
Also, I haven’t been able to fly carry-on for so long I didn’t realize my hair gel isn’t TSA compliant.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:35 PM
It’s 3.8 FL OZ :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:40 PM
Oh, I need to bring a sleeping bag. I guess I just check luggage after all.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:50 PM
I have requisition a twisty tie for my hair. I think it’s going to work . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 3:59 PM

I appear to have caught something while on vacation. Even running a fever which is really unusual for me. I hope the kids don’t catch it . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2020 11:01 AM
I’m now at that stage where ibuprofen has me less achy but my eyes still hurt when I try to read or watch something. Too tired to do anything, not tired enough to sleep.

[In retrospect, I may have had COVID-19, it’s hard to say. I was never tested but I was unusually sick and had received my flu shot the prior fall. At the time we lived in Seattle and had recently returned from a vacation in Palm Springs, CA. That said, none of my family became visibly infected.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 7:44 AM
Well, Calvin didn’t sleep in but neither did he get up super early.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 7:45 AM
He seems to be boycotting solid breakfast. He ate a bit of anasazi beans but flatly refused the blueberries.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 8:15 AM
I use my immersion blender with the little food processor attached so often that I’m afraid I’ll burn it out.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 10:50 AM
I’ve decided to drop one bottle from Calvin’s feeding schedule which brings up down to four 6 oz bottles.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 10:50 AM
Calvin is now eating 3 solid meals a day so I think it’s time to reduce his formula consumption.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 10:54 AM
Whew, Calvin is up! (I have a meeting this morning so I was going to have to wake him up in 5 min and I hate doing that)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 1:55 PM
Urgh! Work on my handout for staff day is going too slow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:37 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed touching sand”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:38 PM
When I walked into daycare, the babies were all clustered around one of the staff who was reading a story to them.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:56 PM
Calvin had pureed sweet potatoes and raisins which he seemed to like.

I wonder if Calvin’s teeth are hurting him. He’s grouchy and chewing on everything in sight.

Calvin doesn’t seem ready to go to bed yet.

From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting this morning.”

In potty training news, Calvin doesn’t appear to be going either on the potty or in his pants at daycare.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2011 2:58 PM
I’m a little worried about him holding it in but he did go as soon as we got home . . .

Calvin’s in bed and I’m listening to music, drinking tea, and soon will be reading a relaxing book.

From daycare yesterday, “Calvin had fun playing with the lacing cards.”

Calvin is singing some variation of Farmer in the Dell that has firetrucks in it.

Now Calvin just went through the most common Jack & Jill nursery rhyme edition.

Calvin is not convinced that the solution to the excess syrup problem is to eat over his plate.

I think Calvin will be overjoyed to have another person in our house to talk at.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2015 6:05 PM
I’m not sure he’s stopped talking since we got home.

Julian is eating blackberries and from the look of things I think he’s going to be purple for a couple of days.

WHY would you start elementary school an 7:50am??? Ugh.

This popped up on my house alerts and I’m sad that it’s already pending. I’m sure it would have been very impractical but it would have been a fun house. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Santa-Cruz/157-Van-Ness-Ave-95060/home/2144583
