Right now I have our shit fairly sorted. Kindergartener going to bed at a reasonable hour, me and her and the baby out walking most evenings, take-away meals to a minimum. In fact, we’re even eating meals constructed of things grown in our garden. I’m still tired, I don’t get enough sleep, the house is [...]

A is for anxiety
Posted in babies, cormac, motherhood sux on October 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I can’t decide whether evolutionarily speaking the separation anxiety stage comes when a baby is more likely to face certain threats and therefore needs to develop an even deeper attachment with you, or, whether it is indicative of a time when you are now sufficiently attached to your baby to cope with such a stage [...]
One wish that comes true, and one wish that probably won’t

Me: What do you want to go dressed as for Halloween at kindergarten? Lauca: A wizard. Me: Ok. Lauca: I can wear this for a cape and use this for a hat. Me: If I get a chance this morning, while we are getting ready, I will use some face paints and put some stars [...]

Breastfeeding harassment
Posted in babies, breastfeeding, child hatred bigotry, feminism, motherhood, motherhood sux, toddlers on October 21, 2009 | 21 Comments »
This article has me thinking. I have breastfed babies (and toddler) in a lot of places, including a church, but I have never been harassed for it. Am I missing something or is Australia quite tolerant? I am curious, have you been harassed for breastfeeding (or bottle feeding, for that matter)? Where was it (Australia [...]

Can sit up. Sort of. Back again.
Old enough to ask for it, and other things I really didn’t know about myself
Posted in babies, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, cormac, lauca, motherhood, motherhood bliss, preschoolers, toddlers on October 19, 2009 | 16 Comments »
The whole co-sleeping family thing really used to freak me out. Seriously, sometimes I barely know myself. Like breastfeeding, for instance. I used to say I wouldn’t breastfeed a baby when it was ‘old enough to ask for it’. My sister enjoys reminding me of this because as it turned out I breastfed my daughter [...]
Overheard at a children’s birthday party

Scene: A bunch of four year olds were completing craft projects and the host was putting everybody’s names on the back of their projects for them to take home at the end of the party. Host: How do you spell your daughter’s name? Is it E L L Y or E L L I E? [...]
This is what an ‘obese’ baby looks like

This gorgeous kid is now four. When she was a baby her weight was off the charts, so was her length. (Although, only an average 7 pounds, 6 oz at birth). She was entirely breast-fed at the time of this photo (approx. 5 months old). Apparently if we had lived in the United States of [...]
