Burl stayed home from school today. Me too. Burl was/is a sicky. I'm not. Ivo went to school today.
Potty training is not going well. It's not entirely... a ... nightmare. But, my g-d, it provides never-ending opportunities to cry and argue. This is mostly due to what Ivo explained to me in the car on the way home from Baby World, to wit, if someone tells him to do something, he can't do it. For example, "I couldn't take a nap because Teacher-Lao Shr told me sooo many times take a nap."
So often I find myself saying charming, whilst thinking CRAZY.
But, it's only the first day of Potty Week 2. It'll happen. The constant fighting... yikes. Also, Burl has been teething hard and unpleasant since Thursday. He spends hours of each day miserable and inconsolably wailing.
Another article on the importance of child-directed play - with audio from NPR.
And the excellent news is that MSG- while never really gone - is being rehabilitated into decent kitchens in moderation. Even if you think it's not there, hippies, it's there... I had no idea it was in the vegetarian staple Liquid Aminos... "hydrolyzed proteins, yeast extracts, protein concentrates and other additives that are not labeled as MSG but...are essentially the same thing: synthetically produced glutamates."
Crayola digi-coloring is pretty neat... Ivo was thrilled drawing with the mouse. The rest of the site is pretty good too.
Blogger is giving me a hard time with the pics... More tomorrow.
