Sunday Surfing

I didn’t get a chance to put this up yesterday, which I’d like to claim was because I was catching up on emails or cleaning house or being otherwise productive, but instead I’ll admit it was because I was finishing up season three of my latest discovery and love, Downton Abbey.  I can’t believe I now have to wait until January for season four!  At least there will be one less distraction to keep me away from the blog…

Finds of the Week:

  • The Case For Vegetarianism Delivered By A Toddler, NPR — Video (in Portuguese with subtitles) of a little boy who is realizing that the octopus on his plate used to be alive.  I’ve been thinking a lot about raising kids as vegetarians and hope to get a post out on this soon.
  • Genetic and Environmental Influences on Daytime and Nighttime Sleep Duration in Early Childhood, Pediatrics — This study found that nighttime sleep duration is largely influenced by genetic factors with an environmental time-window influence at ∼18 months, which just goes to show how important nighttime parenting is — no matter what sleep training or not you try to do with your baby, it may not do a single thing to change baby’s sleep patterns before 18 months.
  • The Gift of Siblings, NY Times — Nora has taken to telling me lately that she wants 10 babies in our family.  While I don’t expect that to happen, I’d love to give her lots of siblings.
  • Welcoming Theodore, Documenting Delight — I love Georgia’s videos and photos.  Next baby, I want a birth video like this!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
