Operator 21 Jun 2012 | 06:17 am
I just had my first real phone conversation with Lucy. She likes talking TO me on the phone -- bellowing odd comments about her desires for popsicles or cheese, or her favorite book/TV characters, or ...
First day of "big girl" school 12 Jun 2012 | 12:26 am
Arrahhhlggghhh! She's excited -- likes the uniforms and her new lunchbox. Matthew and I are anxious; I hope more than she is. Enough said.
Waterworks 5 Jun 2012 | 12:49 am
Lucy's last day at preschool. She was super excited -- popsicles! hugs! last day! Lucy's special day! I was a fucking mess. I was emotional off and on earlier in the day, pretty weepy during the popsi...
Goodbyes 1 Jun 2012 | 02:04 am
I can't believe it but here we are, on the second-to-last-day of Lucy's time in her Nike daycare. It kind of breaks my heart to imagine how sad she's going to be when it finally sinks in that she's no...

Staying inside the lines 28 Feb 2012 | 08:06 am
Lucy's not a fan of "inside the lines," I'm not entirely sure she knows lines even exist. In other words, she can't draw all that well. We're seeing some progression, though -- although most of the sc...
Resurrection 24 Feb 2012 | 09:16 am
Hi. Can you hear me back there? We're Jewish -- Easter to us is just a good excuse to eat spiced jelly beans (but not the black, purple, or orange ones...gross). Nevertheless, I thought a little earl...
