Sweetie Pie has a world-class cold. She’s quite the precocious child as this is definitely a toddler-sized cold. The nose is a fountain. The coughing is seal like. The chest is more congested than Storrow Drive when the Red Sox are playing at home. She’s back to not just nursing all night but pacifying herself [...]

On Monday morning, we got a babysitter (no daycare because of President’s Day). We headed down to Roxbury with all of Adam’s research. And we test drove… minivans. Two specifically: the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey. The first thing you need to know is I hate car shopping. The last thing you need to [...]

We’ve entered the phase of the vocal child. In the middle of the Barnes and Noble cafe, Doodles announced, in his outdoor voice, “I tooted!” I did manage to get an “Excuse me!” out of him. Mind you, this doesn’t bother me, but I’m curious and fearful to see where this leads. Especially as his [...]

I asked Adam what I should blog about. He said, “Me!” He wanted me to write that he was super duper (which is Doodles new second favorite word; his first favorite word is now “stupendous!”). But instead I think I’ll write about how I bitch and moan about his driving and then last night, on [...]

Doodles whose favorite person in the entire world, E., who shall henceforth be referred to as Grape for her fondness of wearing purple, is potty [...]

Okay, I’m willing to admit this. Two weeks ago, I read something online about Fergie and I couldn’t imagine why the Duchess of York was suddenly a style maker. Oops. To redeem myself I used my Valentine’s Day gift (an iTunes gift certificate) to download “My Humps.” I can slowly feel my coolness seeping back [...]

The Tweedle Twirp came to visit. And she is now locked in our basement, forbidden to leave. Life is so much easier when you have a Tweedle Twirp around! First of all, she comes bearing a used train ticket. Oh, Doodles loves that used train ticket! He fell asleep with it firmly glued to his [...]

Our new friend, Lillian, was born this past week to my friend Rachel. Rachel e-mailed a photo album full of wonderful shots of Lily (another beautiful baby born with a head full of hair! Must be something about our Beach blood) with her adoring big brother, Max. I have never described myself as a newborn [...]

Does anyone else see the resemblance?
