I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night (and Potty Every Day)

Posted on October 30, 2012 by larva225

We’ve started the pre-potty training regimen.  At her 2 year checkup, the pediatrician suggested we go ahead and “make a potty available.”  Check.  And shit.  The nebulous world of child eliminations sans diapers is just that.  It’s along the lines … Continue reading →

Bristle While You Work

Posted on October 22, 2012 by larva225

Hurl, Interrupted

Something odd happened this morning.  At 22 weeks pregnant, I finally was made to pay tribute to the legendary porcelain god.  It was the oddest thing.  Stella and I were up (early) bumming around the house.  She was having milk … Continue reading →

Don We Now Our Grey Apparel

Posted on October 16, 2012 by larva225
