1. Hovering, Hand-wringing Mother Alert: Archie has his first cold. I am terrified it will morph into much-feared RSV. With his prematurity and pneumothorax, he can’t afford an illness in his lungs.
2. Brag-Art: Aidan and Tommy each had pieces of art featured in our school district’s art show. We went to the reception this past Friday night and had a great time admiring their work. Aidan’s piece was a drawing of a bowl of noodles, poured over and morphing into a human figure. Tommy’s was a colorful city made with small bits of construction paper glued together in a mosaic.
3. snap cake: I quietly added a link to the Rollcall section of my sidebar. It takes the clicker to my photoblog, which I am calling snap cake. It is simple and born out of a need to dump my favorite photos somewhere on a strand of the web. I anticipate I’ll add a photo every day or two, but not necessarily from that day. I have been focusing on photos taken within the past year, with a few exceptions. Some were posted here, but most are making a humble debut.
4. Welcome to the Dollhouse: Beatrix’s new favorite plaything is Aidan’s old dollhouse. She constantly positions members of the doll family (including a Batman action figure she adopted into the fold) on the little plastic toilet. Inside the toilet is a tiny brown chip of wood. I have no idea who put it there. Anyway, I think this is an excellent sign that she has Bathrooming on the brain more than ever. The past few mornings she woke up with a dry Easy-Up and she is peeing on the potty. She just turned 2.5 on Sunday. It will be nice to be back to just one diapered person in our family.

Hope all is better!

Praying for Archie. It’s no fun when little ones get sick even without the thought of RSV hanging over you. Shake that cold, little guy.
Congrats to Aidan and Tommy! (I must confess to being a little disappointed: when I read “Art-Brag” I was hoping to see some more Lifenut kiddo originals in your banner image.)
Sounds like Beatrix is making progress. Good news. 🙂

Praying that little Archie kicks the cold to the curb ASAP!
I love your photo site. You have such a wonderful eye as a photographer. I have learned a lot and garnered endless inspiration just from looking at your photos. I’d be curious to know what lenses you have. I have the one that came with the camera and the 75-300mm zoom lens. I’m looking at investing in another lens and don’t really know what would be a good next step. Suggestions welcome.

Oh shame, poor little guy! There is nothing so awful as a sick baby – I hope he gets better soon – really soon.

I stopped and prayed for Archie. For protection and health.
2.5 year olds don’t use the potty. Maybe that’s just in my house.
