Calvin slept really well last night. It was great :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2009 7:58 AM
He doesn’t seem terribly enthralled with yogurt yet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2009 5:29 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed crawling all over today!”

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2010 10:39 AM
Nana scared Calvin with her hair dryer this morning. I feel bad but his reaction was kind of funny.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2010 5:06 PM
Calvin just got his first full haircut. His hair is now almost curly.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2010 5:06 PM
In other news, he’s been very cuddly. That combined with his cough makes me wonder what is wrong with him.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2010 5:25 PM
Calvin just kissed m computer . . .

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2011 7:37 AM
Calvin is afraid the cats are going to eat the Christmas presents.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2011 7:38 AM
(There was some ominous sniffing but I think the only thing they’re trying to eat is the trees . . . )

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2011 5:33 PM
Calvin did not nap today . . . He is now refusing to eat a supper I know he likes.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2013 12:42 PM
It turns out I’m not the only one who thinks the “North Boulder Park” is not really very North.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2013 1:20 PM
Hmmm . . . if I’m reading this correctly, Calvin got pre-check and I didn’t. This isn’t going to work.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2015 7:07 AM
It’s a snow day! No school today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2015 1:43 PM
One of the nice things about having an au pair is I can work even when everything around me closes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2015 3:03 PM
It’s definitely a soup day.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2016 4:08 PM
Well, Calvin threw up multiple times throughout the night but seems quite perky today.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2017 7:07 PM
After 40 min I finally got through all the accumulated junk mail. Then I found another pile :(

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2018 11:24 AM
Julian just informed me that today is the hottest day ever.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2018 11:31 AM
In contrast, Calvin just told me it’s too cold. Of course, he’s out on the deck in his bare feet and is refusing to put a coat on.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2019 10:30 AM
I was going to make candy today but now have been completely distracted by setting up Calvin’s old Kindle for Julian.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2019 10:38 AM
Hm, now that everyone has already asked me what Julian wants, he starts coming up with wish list items. (Many revolve around Batman, such as Batman pajamas.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 15, 2019 12:14 PM
Handy, Calvin is setting up the Minecraft part for Julian so I don’t need to figure it out.

I think this morning is going to be one of those mornings I spend carrying Calvin around the house.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2009 8:25 AM
Also, he doesn’t seem inspired by breakfast today even though he loved blueberries the last 2 days.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2009 9:21 AM
Calvin is scheduled for his H1N1 booster.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2009 5:43 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting today!”

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2010 8:40 AM
Calvin went to bed really late last night but fortunately is still sleeping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2010 1:55 PM
Currently trying to convince Calvin he should take a nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2010 2:34 PM
Well, nap appears to be headed to failure today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2010 5:35 PM
Calvin’s mini potty chair just arrived and he used it immediately! (He has been boycotting the folding potty seat I got earlier.)

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2012 4:12 PM
I think Calvin may have inherited some of my father’s traits. He’s looking at a book and watching TV at the same time.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2015 5:52 PM
Am I going to have supper made before Julian, who has only had one nap, completely melts down?

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2016 7:46 PM
Calvin is sick :(

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2017 3:44 PM
My in-laws have ruined me. All the perfume and smelly stuff in the mall is giving me a headache.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2018 6:41 AM
I don’t know how to tell you this, but 185 lumens is not “super bright”.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2018 3:26 PM
Well, I suppose it’s relative but the other light I was looking at was 1200 lumens.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2019 7:12 PM
We had some overripe Fuyu persimmons and they were mushy enough to make into persimmon pudding.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2021 3:56 PM
I feel it’s a smidge ironic that I’m on a phone call with Apple support as @calvinsdad is in a meeting with his Apple coworkers. Sadly, it’s the wrong team.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 14, 2021 4:04 PM
My mantra during the call, “it’s not the router”. (They did collect logs so I’m hoping that provides illumination.)

2009

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2009 11:12 AM
Calvin muttered through the night but didn’t actually wake up till around 7. @calvinsdad got up and I slept a while longer.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2009 11:13 AM
Made pecan waffles for breakfast and then put Calvin down for a nap. He’s still sleeping 1 1/2 hr later.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2009 4:52 PM
I think Calvin is playing with his shadow on the kitchen floor.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2009 7:58 PM
Finished a batch of Almond Christmas Candy. Took less time than I expected.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2010 2:24 PM
We arrived safely in Walla Walla. Calvin was pretty cranky this morning but hopefully will be happier after his nap.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2011 1:09 PM
I found someone to take our infant car seat! It’s in good condition but thrift stores won’t take them for fear they’ve been in accidents.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2011 6:13 PM
From daycare, “Calvin had fun making a candy cane.”

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2012 6:05 PM
At the thrift store today found a Capesla 135 set stuffed in with the puzzles (looks like this [This link is completely dead. However, here’s a Wikipedia article about what Capsela looks like.].

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2012 6:06 PM
It cost $2.99 so I broke down and bought it. All parts seem to be there except the rubber tracks have become brittle and broken.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2013 3:08 PM
Huh, I did not realize that the “Friends” Lego Minifigs were so different from the regular.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2013 3:08 PM
Among other things, the one Calvin got can’t walk . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2013 3:13 PM
@calvinsdad informs me she isn’t crippled, she’s “mermaidy”. Which he still agrees is creepy.

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 13, 2014 7:13 PM
Cat5 seems to have bonded with her cage. Put her in it last night and she didn’t meow till @calvinsdad got up. Now she’s sleeping inside.

Julian is choosing toast with ketchup and cheese over cardamom rolls. My child has no taste.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 7:53 AM
Calvin slept pretty good until 5:30 last night!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 7:53 AM
Now he’s kind of cranky which is unusual for the morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 7:54 AM
However, he does appear to enjoy his applesauce/blueberry breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 8:09 AM
From daycare sheet yesterday: “Calvin had lots of fun dancing to music!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 8:09 AM
I’m now wondering what constitutes “dancing” in a baby.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 8:24 AM
Turns out 5 can no longer squeeze around the baby gate but she can jump over it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 8:24 AM
At least we’re helping her be more active . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 3:25 PM
Church went pretty well today. Couldn’t give blood because of my cold though.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 4:17 PM
Hmm . . . when I fed Calvin blueberries, I wasn’t thinking of blueberry drool coming out of his mouth onto the carpet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2009 8:36 PM
Yea! With a few small exceptions, I have all my Christmas presents ordered.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2010 7:04 AM
Travel day. Time to see if my injured shoulder is up to dealing with a toddler by myself . . .

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2011 8:10 AM
Calvin is giving indications he may grow up to be one of those strange people who don’t like coconut.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2011 9:28 PM
From daycare, “Calvin had fun decorating a tree.”

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2012 5:13 PM
We have a working fireplace again!

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2013 2:55 PM
I’m a bit unnerved by Calvin’s continued insistence that the family room should not have lights on.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 8:02 AM
It is time for Julian’s nap but he does not agree.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 10:30 AM
Life is so much better when BOTH Julian and I have a proper nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 10:33 AM
These Bjorn bibs are amazing. I don’t have to change Julian after meals!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 12:29 PM
I just found 3 oven mitts from a (?) prior house owner.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 12:30 PM
Not sure why the oven mitts were in a drawer so far from the oven . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 2:02 PM
Julian is testing the new child locks in the kitchen. He does not approve.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 5:24 PM
All my masala blends have been restocked and the spice jars re-alphabetized.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2015 5:27 PM
Also everything has been rearranged to provide maximum confusion to the other adults.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2016 6:37 AM
I decided to start today’s week by accidentally deleting 50 of my emails. Ugh.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 12, 2016 6:46 AM
Unfortunately, in my sleep addled state, I didn’t realize the problem until too many clicks later . . . Someone should fix that.

Julian is having peanut butter toast with mutter paneer for breakfast.

2019

This is an amusing article about hot chocolate. Seattle is one of the few places where hot chocolate is treated as important in its own right rather than relegated to a kiddie drink. https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/hot-chocolate-has-gone-downhill-over-the-years-but-you-still-can-find-peaks-of-goodness/

Calvin is very mobile this morning wandering around and chirping happily to himself.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2009 8:30 AM
For breakfast this morning, he had peaches, oatmeal, banana, and applesauce puree. He managed to eat more than 1/4 cup!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2009 2:19 PM
Apparently Google has decided it is smarter than me and is ignoring my quotes. They also don’t explicitly tell me they are doing this.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2009 2:19 PM
Oops, my fault. I accidentally used single quotes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2009 6:53 PM
Calvin only had 1/2 hr nap in the morning and didn’t nap at all at daycare.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2009 6:53 PM
He was exhausted. I got less than 5 oz down him before he fell fast asleep and refused to wake up.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2011 5:51 PM
Candy party is over and we all survived :) Had about the perfect number of people. Our house was full but not crowded.

Julian really enjoys pushing Calvin on the little truck.

I think Julian is practicing on gates in expectation of conquering the baby gates at our new house.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 11, 2021 8:05 AM
Well, I took both a rapid test and a PCR test and they both came back negative so I guess I just have a common cold.

I completely missed cold season last year and would have been happy to miss it this year also.

Calvin was muttering quite happily for a couple of hours last night. Eventually it turned to crying so I fed him.

He’s still sleeping but I’m exhausted and I’m not sure I can go back to sleep.

Bad week for losing things: sewing scissors, credit card, and iPod :(

Well, Calvin’s potty seat officially does not fit in the big suitcase. Now to consider other options . . .

Calvin wrote “ANCLIV” and told me it was his name “in disguise.”

Calvin’s new pencil sharpener came with a USB power cord.

Question: Is Julian strong enough to break the child lock?

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2016 10:05 AM
Apparently the best way to entertain Julian is to not notice when he dumped out my wallet and then spends the next 1/2 hr bringing me stuff.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2016 4:05 PM
Julian is shrieking like a banshee because I have given him milk in the wrong container. My kids are so dramatic.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2016 9:02 PM
Calvin just told me he couldn’t sleep because his animals are going wild.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2018 11:53 AM
Julian is helping assemble his house. My part is done, now the finishing is up to him.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2018 12:23 PM
I wonder how long it takes before Calvin decides he wants to rappel down from our deck.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2018 12:36 PM
The hammock is now up and we’re enjoying the sun.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 10, 2018 12:50 PM

There’s a line in _Sheep Out to Eat_ that says “Tea and cake are everywhere.”

I believe the Calvin version is “Peas and pears are everywhere!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 8:07 AM
Today’s breakfast was brought to you by the letter ‘P’.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 8:15 AM
It’s surprisingly hard to get pea out of eyebrows.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 9:24 AM
Wow, Calvin went to take his nap without a mutter.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 10:30 AM
Wow, Calvin has slept over an hour. I exercised, changed cat litter, and showered. Now I’m getting ready to work.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 11:42 AM
Calvin’s still sleeping after 2 hrs 15 min. However, he’s unlikely to take an afternoon nap so I think I’ll let him keep sleeping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 5:40 PM
Calvin fell asleep on the way home from daycare. Now what do I do? His bedtime is only an hour away.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 9, 2009 5:45 PM

Calvin is enjoying mango and pear for breakfast today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 8, 2009 9:10 AM
Is it bad that I save for “fun” food for breakfast and make Calvin eat his veggies at lunch when daycare feeds him?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 8, 2009 9:11 AM
My excuse is they have more practice feeding babies :)

Well, Calvin woke up in the middle of the night with a stuffy nose.

I had the same problem so I moved the humidifier right next to us and camped out on the rocking chair but it didn’t seem to help much.

Calvin is fascinated with my cookbooks. I guess it’s time to find another place to store them.

On an whim gave Calvin some of the black refried beans from our haystacks.

He _loved_ it. Not sure it’s good for him as it’s seasoned for adults but he kept opening his mouth for more.

Sent an email to my manager saying my work schedule today would be erratic with Calvin is home sick.

She responded saying she was in the same situation. ‘Tis the season . . .

Calvin didn’t take a nap but we did have “less noisy” time.

Calvin, “May I have more orange juice mommy?” Me, “No, you had some for breakfast. Calvin, “That’s sad mommy.”

I’m test packing our carry-on for Hong Kong. The bedroom is a mess.

Calvin seems to have inherited my love of thick soups.

This is not a particularly good day for the gas to go out.

Things I’m thankful for: my down coat. Didn’t think I’d be needing it for _inside_ our house.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 6, 2013 11:45 AM
@calvinsdad I’ve broken down and brought the space heater up to the office.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Dec 6, 2013 2:21 PM
Hm, well it looks like this could last longer than I was hoping. At least the office is warm with our space heater.
