The Pincushion
Elliot had his two-month shots–his first set of shots–yesterday morning. Ouch. He no likey. Our little pincushion cried right away, and then mommy cried along with him. But our little wounded soldier is all patched up, donning two band-aids on his right leg and one on his left.
From the parental perspective, all in [...]

The First Time Through the Night
Elliot slept through the night for the first time last night! So, it actually is possible.

2:30 AM: A Dialogue Concerning the Present State of Life and the Usefulness of the Author

Uh, what?
I told you. Darn it, it’s early. Or late. Or kinda both. Depends on your perspective, really. So I can write what I want. I’ve earned it. Or, actually, Tania’s earned it, since she’s the one feeding him right now.
