“Mama, mama! Help me! I’m stuck on the caramel bars!”
You know. The caramel bars.

5:55 am… Shoshanna wakes up.
S: Mama, why it’s light out? Is it morning?
Me: Mphfff.
S: Mama, the sun is up! It’s morning.
Me: Mphffff.
S opens the wall separating the sides of the tent.
S: Mama, it’s morning! The sun is up! Can I get up?
Me: Mphfffff.
S sees my sleep mask which is the only thing that allows me [...]

Shoshanna and I had the following conversation in the car on the way to her GI appointment this morning:
S: Mama, what’s a due date?
Me: That’s when you expect a baby to be born.
S: Why my due date was in January but I didn’t come ’til September?
Me: Well, September came BEFORE January, and because you were [...]

S: Why… why… why somebody said we were going upstairs to see animals and then I had a question?
Me: [very confused for a moment] Oh, when you went to the aquarium! What was your question about the penguin at the aquarium?*
S: It was about my penguin at home, how it was different.**
Me: Oh, how is [...]

Just back from a week in DC… I’ll post details and pics later, but there are three things that I wanted to put up for the amusement of the general public.
Thing one: “Swallaby Swoop was a BAD badger!”
Shoshanna came to me and told me this with exactly that much context one morning. She’s been [...]

I have commented a number of times that Shoshanna really is just a miniaturized version of her father. It’s true, it really really is. See, for example, this morning.
Shoshanna was quite the tired girl after a weekend of an SCA event on Saturday (no nap, passing out in the car, being half-woken to [...]

Three years ago today, we were in the hospital for a swallow/sleep study – the one that got us off of both Reglan and supplemental O2. (New preemie parents reading this: do NOT let pulmo and GI decide to d/c both a motility drug and supplemental O2 at the same time… S’s little belly filled [...]

We have, as I think I have mentioned, given up on getting Shoshanna to actually SLEEP during the day at home. Lately, though, we have had some success getting her to play quietly in her room for an hour or so. Usually this involves at least some screaming and yelling and deciding she has to [...]

This morning, Shoshanna asked me the best question ever:
Why it’s a up and downing one?
What on earth was the child talking about? Well, she had just washed her hands in the upstairs bathroom sink, which has a single-handled faucet – which goes up and down to turn on and off. In context, it was clear [...]

We are also once again battling the early riser. She knows she’s supposed to play quietly in her room until we come in to get her. This morning I went in to give her her one warning (play quietly, no screaming and yelling, or you get a time out) [...]
