For Posterity

Because this blog gets bound up as the kids' baby book, I'm posting a couple of recent quotes.


Quote 1.
Zoe is cutting two more molars. Her mouth was actually bleeding yesterday and she has been MISERABLE the last two days. Her first 2-year molar came in a couple of weeks ago and I didn't even realize it was happening. She was so crabby I was convinced she had an ear infection and actually took her to the doctor. So tonight she was having meltdown #379 of the weekend. I took her over to the rocking chair where we have literally spent hundreds of hours over the last two years rocking crying babies/toddlers. I covered her up with a blanket and we snuggled for a few minutes. Silas brought a ball over to her and gave her a hug. She said "all done sad", and wriggled out of my arms to go run and play.


Atta girl, Zoe, atta girl.


Quote 2, from FB.
Alissa Westerlund
Silas points to my forehead tonight at bedtime and says "boo-boo". I said, "no sweetie, that's not a boo-boo, that's called a wrinkle". Zoe looks closely at my forehead, agrees with Silas, and says "boo-boo". Then she leans over, kisses my forehead, and says "all better!".

Who needs botox when you have 2-year-olds to kiss your wrinkles away?

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

York's Wild Kingdom

Friday was our last day of vacation and check-out time at Village by the Sea was 10am. We wanted to do one last fun thing before coming back to Boston, so we headed to York's Wild Kingdom in York, Maine. The zoo had just opened when we got there, and apparently lots of other families had the same idea as us! This zoo is definitely aimed for little kids, and Silas and Zoe (and Derek!) had a blast! Our first stop was the butterfly sanctuary, and this was definitely my favorite part of the day... We had the kids both in and out of the stroller throughout our visit. The zoo was packed with people, so it was a little nuts having them roam free and try to manage an empty double stroller too. But they were happier to get in and out of the stroller at their leisure with all the walking. There were several highlights for the kids - all of which involved feeding the animals from your hand. One was the duck pond, The deer were pretty awesome, As was the petting zoo
