Calvin slept fitfully from 5-7 and then got up around 7.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2009 8:15 AM
We’re now getting ready to eat breakfast and then go to Sabbath School.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2009 1:27 PM
Calvin’s having trouble taking naps today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2009 4:47 PM
Calvin has been taking a very strange multi-stage nap this afternoon.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2009 6:12 PM
You’d think napping in someones arms when it’s 82 in the house wouldn’t be pleasant but it’s the only way he will nap today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2009 7:17 PM
Calvin does not seem inclined to repeat his rolling experience from several days ago.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2010 12:16 PM
Calvin is violently protesting nap time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2010 6:38 PM
Just got back from the park. Now for Calvin’s supper part II.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2010 8:08 PM
Calvin’s asleep. I’m sitting down to watch an episode of _Rosemary & Thyme_ with a bowl of dark chocolate mint ice cream. Yum :)

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2011 4:23 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun working on puzzles.”

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2012 4:28 PM
Calvin’s had a good day: 1) concrete pumper collapsing, 2) train crossing 3) Firetruck with sirens/lights. All within 1/2 hr.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2013 6:00 PM
Calvin is going through a phase where he wants to watch videos with the sound off.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2015 8:22 AM
Important question: Do I have enough peanut butter for Grandma’s visit?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2015 8:23 AM
In other news, I think I slept last night!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2015 12:35 PM
I would have that Calvin would be past the point where I would have to tell him not to eat food on the floor.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2015 2:02 PM
There is something wrong with a dishwasher that I can start before church and it’s still running when I get back. *sigh*

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2015 2:29 PM
I’m going to have to get one of those new-fangled bumpers I was scoffing at earlier. Julian keeps pushing his pacifier out of the crib.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2016 5:36 PM
Julian is reaching underneath my toes and pulling up. I’m not sure what he expects to happen but he’s upset that it’s not happening.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2016 6:40 PM
Ate a Korean melon at supper. I think it tastes like a crisp cantaloupe.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 11, 2016 6:41 PM
Though apparently I wasn’t suppose to peel and seed it first?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 8:03 AM
Calvin got up at 6:45, has eaten and now grudgingly engaging in tummy time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 8:31 AM
Bath time :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 8:50 AM
Nana is now trying to convince Calvin to take a nap. I, on the other hand, need no convincing :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 10:13 AM
My nap wasn’t very successful but Calvin’s still sleeping. I’m going to have to get him up in about 10 min to feed him before daycare.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 3:34 PM
Just finished work. Now I’m going to get the oil changed in Motoko. Not sure when we last did this . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 4:47 PM
@aydensmamma How exciting :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 6:45 PM
Calvin has this bad habit of falling asleep about an hour before his bedtime :S

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2009 8:21 PM
Time for bed.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2010 6:32 PM
I went to bed an hour late so obviously Calvin had to wake up an hour early.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2012 9:52 AM
Today Calvin and I were discussing the different types of “work” people do. Calvin said, “my work is play.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2012 9:53 AM
I must have been quoting Maria Montessori a bit more than I realized.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 10, 2015 5:39 PM
I think I burned the pudding :(

Calvin woke up just a little before 7:30 today. He slept really well last night :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2009 8:28 AM
We’re getting ready for some tummy time while I eat breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2009 9:00 AM
Calvin is cranky, it’s time for his morning nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2009 10:01 AM
Well, once I got him down for a nap, he only slept about 20 min.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2009 4:21 PM
Just got back from getting my hair cut. I feel very relaxed :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2009 7:48 PM
Nana bought Calvin a bouncy seat today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2009 7:48 PM
Even though we don’t have batteries for it yet, it occupied Calvin throughout our supper.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2010 7:45 AM
Calvin slept most of the night in his crib but ended it in our bed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2010 7:46 AM
Just before 5, he started screaming for a couple of minutes then slept for 15 and repeated the cycle.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2010 2:47 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun playing Peek-a-boo with Ms Amy today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2010 4:14 PM
Like the cats, Calvin is fascinated by the printer when printing.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2010 6:22 PM
Calvin enjoyed sitting in a tree today but he thought mommy was being a bit overprotective hanging on to him.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2010 6:23 PM
Calvin is so obsessed with light you’d have thought he grew up in WA and never saw the sun.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2011 7:38 AM
Now that I’ve discovered Indian cooking, my (4-tiered) spice/herb cupboard is woefully inadequate for all my new spice blends.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2011 8:49 AM
Calvin tried to do my pilates video with me. Next time I need to video tape it. It was hilarious.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2012 8:54 PM
I really need a 2nd shredder for the office.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2015 5:32 PM
Warning: the house is going to get messier before it gets cleaner.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2016 3:48 PM
I’m pretty sure Julian is hangry but he’s refusing to eat.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2016 3:54 PM
Today as we were driving up 280 I told Calvin “look! the fog is back”. Calvin responded indignantly, “he has a name mom!”

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2017 8:43 AM
Not an auspicious start. We’re only in Vallejo and Julian has already thrown up.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 9, 2017 1:17 PM
I should never leave San Francisco. It’s too hot in the rest of the world.

Calvin woke up at 7 today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2009 9:55 aM
I didn’t pump last night but I kept waking up anyway. Maybe I’ll sleep more tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2009 6:22 PM
After a big fight, Calvin is down for a little nap before bed time.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2009 9:09 PM
Getting ready for the 2nd night of sleeping without pumping.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 6:47 AM
Around 10:30 last night Calvin began screaming. Per normal routine, I let him scream for 10 min but he didn’t fall back asleep.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 6:48 AM
He was fine as long as I was in the room with him. Finally, we decided to try co-sleeping again.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 6:49 AM
We pushed our bed up against the wall and had Calvin between me and the wall. Once he settled down enough to sleep, it worked fairly well.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 7:17 AM
There should be some sort of rule against fire alarm batteries dying in the middle of the night.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 2:39 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed exploring with oatmeal!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 2:39 PM
Exactly how do you explore with oatmeal?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 3:00 PM
Calvin is now consistently saying something like “dye dye” as we leave daycare.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2010 5:30 PM
Today we learned that the BOB sun shield does not work in a pinch for the rain shield. Fortunately, Calvin didn’t seem to mind.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2011 8:13 AM
It’s never a good thing to think your son is in the living room when he is, in fact, outside.

Oh. I just noticed the name on my new credit card is wrong: no hyphen :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2015 10:43 PM
The treadmill is out of the basement!

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2018 7:28 AM
Today I’m going to make pancakes, even though it’s just me, to celebrate having a kitchen again.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2018 7:33 AM
Though, I seem to be missing a liquid measuring cup.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2018 8:00 AM
Umm . . . I left the store without buying garlic or onions. How did that happen?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 8, 2018 1:44 PM
This is the shirt for Julian (and maybe all of the Logan family). Sadly, it doesn’t come in his size.
An orange t-shirt that shows the outline of a roaring lion and says hangry in all caps underneath. There's a tag that shows it's from the Woodland Park Zoo.

Calvin didn’t fully wake up till 6:30 today :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2009 8:40 AM
I’m passing off Calvin to Nana so I can get a nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2009 8:40 AM
(It’s time for Calvin’s nap too but he’s stubborn.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2009 5:55 PM
Calvin’s latest bowel movement was probably diarrhea. It was very watery and saffron yellow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2009 9:08 PM
Calvinsdad and I have discussed it and decided that I’m going to stop my midnight pumping.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2010 6:44 AM
Calvin got up early again but thankfully did go back to sleep until just now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2010 7:42 AM
Calvin and I went for a brief walk this morning in the mist.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2010 2:25 PM
It always feels so good to be able to reconcile an account.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2010 2:45 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed climbing through the tunnel mat today :)”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2010 4:12 PM
Calvin is enjoying putting many things in the paper recycling bin. Fortunately, it was just emptied.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2010 9:19 PM

I think Julian is going to be one of those kids that tries putting everything in his mouth. Not a good trait for a 2nd child.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2017 6:27 PM
I hate the Kindle. Why can’t Apple come up with decent parental controls in iOS??

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2018 1:15 PM
We’ve arrived at the temporary house and are starting to settle in. It’s a gorgeous day. There is sun!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2018 6:15 PM
I’m eating real food tonight!

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2020 2:07 PM
Calvin looks more like a teenager ever day. Which, I suppose makes sense as he’s only 2 years away.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2020 5:45 PM
I put muffins in the oven and forgot to turn on the timer or look at the clock.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 7, 2020 6:32 PM

Bath time for baby Calvin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2009 9:50 AM
Well, now on to bath #2. The first one included a fountain _and_ a bowel movement :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2009 7:14 PM
Daddy is now reading to Calvin.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2010 7:25 AM
Calvin woke up really early. I handed him off to @calvinsdad a little after 6 and went back to bed for a couple of minutes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2010 3:08 PM
From daycare: “Calvin really enjoyed story time and playing on the mats today!”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2010 3:08 PM
Wow, Calvin ate more broccoli than fruit for lunch today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2010 6:47 PM
Calvin enjoyed watching the HOA lawn mowers this afternoon.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2010 6:47 PM
(I had been watching Calvin from the yard and had to quickly hop the fence when I heard the mowers coming.)

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2012 6:38 PM
It turns out the Indian spices can inadvertently flavor my powder sugar. That made for an interesting cookie.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2012 7:40 PM
Calvin is enamored with our Capsela 400 set. It’s been sitting in our closet for years, apparently just waiting for him.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2012 7:55 PM
Just got the Roomba charged for the 1st time after our move. I’d forgotten how much I liked it.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 6, 2016 12:57 PM
Julian had his 15-month appointment and is still healthy.

Calvin woke up at 5:30 this morning demanding food :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2009 9:09 AM
I fed him and then attempted to get him back to bed. He did sleep intermittently (and loudly) till just now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2009 3:26 PM
Went grocery shopping without Calvin with mixed results.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2010 2:27 PM
Calvin has a new board book: _Rocky Mountain Babies!_ (wild animal babies)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2010 3:32 PM
Calvin only had a short nap this morning so I’m trying to get him to take another one and he isn’t impressed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2010 8:31 PM
Calvin vomited. Not sure if it was because he is sick or just upset.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2011 4:46 PM
Once again Calvin had a lot of fun playing with the trains at Longmont library.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2011 6:25 PM
For the last hour Calvin has been in a “I must be touching Mommy at all times” phase.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2011 7:51 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun painting :)”

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2015 12:05 PM
Julian has grown! I have to move up his car seat straps.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2015 2:10 PM
We have more toys for Julian to enjoy. Not that our house needed more stuff in it . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 5, 2015 3:28 PM
Weirdly, I think Julian is getting fancier toys than Calvin.

Calvin seems like he might be starting to react to his name.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2009 1:30 PM
Just got home from church.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2009 2:29 PM
Trying to convince Calvin it’s a good idea to take a nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2009 6:56 PM
Finally decided it was time to get a couple more toys out from the shower loot for Calvin to try playing with.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2011 8:59 AM
Calvin had a late night last night but I’m surprised he’s still sleeping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2011 9:25 AM
Calvin just woke up. I love not having a morning baby :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2011 1:11 PM
It’s too hot to do anything useful . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2011 1:12 PM
I’ve gotten all my weekend “must do” tasks completed but I’m not feeling motivated enough for anything else.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2015 3:11 PM
I think Julian’s stuff is breeding and taking over our house.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2016 10:16 PM
There are 4 fire trucks outside our house, apparently for the house kitty corner to us.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2016 10:29 PM
I think the excitement is over. Still three firetrucks but it looks like cleanup.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2017 10:44 AM
I’m fairly positive that 1) we don’t need 5 thermometers especially as 2) they’re going to disappear when we need them.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2017 10:54 AM
Huh, one of the thermometers is set to use Celsius.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2017 8:42 PM
Well, someone is illegally setting off very nice fireworks behind our house. Seems a bit premature given how light it is though.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2017 9:10 PM
From my back deck.
Fireworks above a city outline. The fireworks are red sparkles and make the sky a deep pink.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2017 10:21 PM

Well, the kitchen is allegedly all unpacked except I appear to have lost my Christmas cookie cutters which also includes my donut cutter. (Which I was planning use today.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2021 7:21 AM
I know what box it was an, and it’s been unpacked, so I’m confused.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 4, 2021 7:24 AM
Whew! Third time through the kitchen I found them!

@calvinsdad took Calvin to daycare today.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 3, 2009 4:36 PM
Daycare called us to pick Calvin up because he vomited twice and has diarrhea :(

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 3, 2009 5:56 PM
We took Calvin outside to lay underneath the front tree and @calvinsdad and I took turns reading to him.

It would be nice if service people stopped coming into our house, looking at their area and saying, “that’s . . . different.”

It appears Calvin has a new awake time of 6:30.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 2, 2009 8:07 AM
Time for Calvin’s first morning nap. Question is, will he allow himself to take it?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 2, 2009 10:14 AM
Calvin’s awake after a _long_ nap and is ready for 2nd breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 2, 2010 7:48 AM
Now when Calvin wants the ceiling fan on he points to it, says, “mama!” and twirls his finger in a circle.

We’re beside the Boulder creek eating lunch but the water is too fast to play in.

I will be glad when I no longer have to pit cherries for Calvin, you know, when he’s going off to college.

I haven’t been able to find my hanging recipe maker since we moved, in even though we itemized the contents of every box.

Julian was waking up about every 2 hrs last night :(

The books are alphabetized!

Calvin appears to be entertaining Julian while I make supper. This is the way it should be.

In retrospect, it seems obvious that I should coordinate my apron color with the color of the food I’m cooking.

I made Indian food tonight so turmeric.

Some people panic bought toilet paper. I panic bought headsets. I just opened my last package so I now need to order more.

(These are cheap headsets but more expensive ones I had broke just as often so I eventually gave up and now order 4-5 of these at a time.)

For me, I tend to short them out when they catch the knobs in my kitchen. No idea how Calvin destroys his.

It seems appropriate Julian is wearing his strawberry mask while picking strawberries. (This variety is white when ripe.)
Julian stands with his back to the sidewalk and strawberry bushes to his right. He is holding a while strawberry in his hand and wearing a cloth mask with a blue background and a print of red strawberries and green vines.

This is in our yard but he’s wearing a mask because we’re pretending we’re taking an airplane trip to places.

Former home owner appears to have been an AARP member. I was thinking he wasn’t that much older than us. Then I realized I’ll be eligible to join AARP in less than 8 years.

I may be stuck. Went to Target to pick up something practical and then realized there’s a used bookstore in the same mall.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Jul 2, 2021 4:00 PM
Well, they close at 4 so I was booted out.
