1 Car Seat Down, Lots of Decisions to Go
Between all of your comments and an email exchange with Estelle, I ordered a car seat.
The Britax Boulevard, in Mosaic, on sale for $259.99. (Thank god that last 2006 child care savings account check arrived.)
I made the decision, in the end, over a feature I didn’t know about until Estelle mentioned it. The Boulevard doesn’t […]

Ok, How About Day Care?
You folks are very helpful in the Big Scary Expensive Decisionmaking department! Wanna help us think through next year’s day care?
We could stay in our current location, or, a space opens up in another spot near the house in May, a few weeks earlier than we really need it. Here are the factors:

I’ve Become Car-Seat Obsessed

I think these are mine […]

This, I Believe

The Cesspool. And Other Random Thoughts.
Is it not enough that Noah got pinkeye at day care last week? Today they sent him home early with a fever. At least the pink eye is gone. But he was a very sad and fussy boy when I got home tonight. I think it’s because he woke up at 5:30 am and really […]

Pumping Countdown
I am SOOOOOOOO ready to be done pumping. Don’t get me wrong, it was fine to do, I have no regrets. And in fact, I’m incredibly proud of the fact that I was able to feed Noah from my own body for so long, with hardly any supplementing.
