The Drooling Song
This is classic Eleanor, making up a song, covered in jelly stains, being silly. Enjoy!

New Love
I really love my new camera, Mr C’s present to me for my birthday last January. It’s not really new, but since Mr C was the original owner, it is in pristine condition.
The iPhone is great, and I grab it all the time but the more I play with the Canon XTi, the more I [...]

Storyteller
I may be the one with the blog, but it’s clear who is the real storyteller in the family. (Film-making credit to Mr C.)

Birthdays
As we get deeper into March, the panic sets in. April is “birthday month” around here. Oliver’s birthday is the 11th, and Eleanor made her appearance two years and five days later. It sure made a lot of sense at the time. I avoided being hugely pregnant during hot weather, and my maternity clothes were [...]

Suck
In an effort to give the kids equal time, here’s a conversation I had with Eleanor this morning.
Eleanor: I’m not gonna suck, Mum!
Me: Huh? (thinking: Words to live by, kid, words to live by. And where’s my coffee?)
Eleanor: I’m not sucking on my toothbrush!
Me: Ah, ok. Good job!

Princess
Despite two doses of hot & sour soup, I still can’t breath very well, but there was no way I was going to miss taking Eleanor to Disney on Ice: Princess Classics tonight. I have been keeping the secret from her since buying the tickets in January. She has known for a couple of days [...]

Pig Latin
Can we just call it NaBlo VacationMo? NaBloLameOh? Ixnay on the PoMoNaBlo?
I took the weekend off from blogging. Would that I had done something productive instead. No, I did the usual stuff with the family. Ballet with Eleanor, which was preceded by epic carrying on about not going to the thing she loves and looks [...]

Soccer Mom Goes On Hiatus
Oliver had his last soccer game today. Against parents (myself not included as I was guarding the pizza — don’t ask) but still, end of the season. After my previous bitching I feel the need to point out some good things that came out of it.
Oliver clearly learned some new skills and further developed what [...]

She Knows What She Wants
For some reason my rack has been getting a lot of attention from the kids. When he’s in a position to reach, Oliver likes to pat the boobage to get my attention. His old habit of holding my wrist has been cast aside for a much more direct method. It always works, I suppose.
Eleanor has [...]

Now: A Ballerina Is Born
As this blog begins year six, Eleanor began ballet class. You couldn’t convince her she isn’t already a ballerina, but now we have the shoes and leotard to go with the attitude. That was a story in itself. I found out around 10 am Friday morning that we were, in fact, registered for the class. [...]
