Food. Family. Fun.
Monday morning I folded the sofa bed back up and discovered that one of the legs has broken. Sadness. We’ll have to buy a replacement; in the meantime, we’ll be jury-rigging the broken leg. If we don’t, how will we… Read moreSofa Bed Calamity
Apparently I’m too sleepy to come up with anything exciting/funny/incisive to post. Here’s a recap of our week so far. Sunday Baguette had a playdate with the daughter of one of my friends. Things went pretty well, except that Baguette… Read moreSleepy, Very Sleepy
Baguette has started to get possessive. I know this is a normal stage, and we work on reminding her about sharing (since she was a tiny baby, she’s been good about “trading”–although for the past six months or so, she’s… Read more“Mine!”
Baguette likes to stand on the stepladder in front of the sink and brush her teeth. She identifies all the toothbrushes–which one is hers, which one is Mommy’s, which one is Daddy’s. She gets it right every time; this girl… Read moreWhat I Want for Baguette
Baguette is probably not looking at elephants. My dad and stepmom were in town this past weekend, and while Mr. Sandwich did his 20-mile run (someone’s training for the L.A. Marathon next month), the four of us went to the… Read moreIt’s a Zoo!

Not how much they cost. Teaching them about it. A post on Babble.com‘s Toddler Times asks, “Is Toddlerhood Too Early to Teach Money Lessons?” Answer: I have no idea. I read this story and thought, “I’m not sure one incident… Read moreToddlers and Money
Baguette has long been obsessed with my hair. She plays with it, pulls on it, hangs from it. At the salon, I have to ask my hairstylist to rinse out as much of the color as humanly possible–because Baguette chews… Read moreIt’s Not Easy Being Rapunzel
Last night, after a day of not napping, Baguette fought sleep like a tiger. I think she finally surrendered at something like 11 p.m. I have no idea what that was about, but now I’m tired. Really, really tired. Which… Read moreIt’s My Party and I’ll Sleep If I Want To
