Learning Curves – On Baby Wearing
When people join the military or even med school they are put through training that prepares them to do a multitude of stressful & complex tasks without benefit of sleep. Parenting pretty much throws you in without any training – although moms who have made it to 9 months pregnant (Or more. 40 weeks = …
Our Handsome Man
In an earlier post I blogged about a shirt that my students bought for Oliver. Here he is looking quite handsome. Here is another. Oliver looks ready to defend his honor in this one. Once again, thanks to Ricky, Emmanuel and all the students who contributed to the shirt fund. Oliver looks great!
Things Come Full Circle
Five weeks ago I wrote about the death of my grandmother, Marie. She was born in 1923 and missed the birth of her first great-grandchild by a mere 20 days. Oliver will never meet Marie, although even if she had lived to see him born he wouldn’t have been able to see the fiery woman …

My Students Are Awesome – 2.0
More on this later. I just had to put it in writing. Update 2/13: Last Friday my students threw me a surprise baby shower. It was incredibly touching and thoughtful of them. They planned it on their own and orchestrated the event with minimal staff involvement. I’m so amazed and overwhelmed at the generosity of …
Handiwork – Taggie
As promised, here are some more examples of the wonderful handiwork done for Bump… I had never heard of a Taggie until KTB showed us the one in the works for Bump. In retrospect I may have seen one, but I had to look up “Taggie” online to see what the appeal might be for …
