I am slowly coming to grips with the daily ups and downs of life with two, with the complete lack of time to get things done, and with the incredible emotional roller coaster of parenting a 2.5 year old. But I’m finding myself thinking more about what I … Continue reading One day soon…→

http://kateflaim.com/2012/10/october/#commentsTue, 02 Oct 2012 19:41:17 +0000http://kateflaim.com/?p=1400Ellie is two months old today! I can’t believe it. I thought the second pregnancy flew, and it turns out that the baby days are flying, too (though as someone said to me the other day, it’s a marathon, but each day is a sprint). It hasn’t been easy, adjusting to two kids. I feel … Continue reading October→

It’s nearly impossible to remember life before he came along; and as I look at little Ellie it’s even harder to remember that my big boy started off looking like this: Two days old Here he is during Ellie’s newborn shoot (more on that later), just before turning two: Anelise Tubinis Photography … Continue reading Two→

Baby salad Ben was in NC for a business meeting last Wednesday, and his mom was headed up from Long Island to … Continue reading Welcome to the world!→

We’ve been enjoying the CSA, as always, of course. Tuck has finally gotten on board with corn on the cob, though I haven’t been able to budge his bias against tomatoes yet. We’ve been sticking … Continue reading As summer sweeps by…→

Have you read the (very lengthy) Anne-Marie Slaughter piece in The Atlantic, Why Women Still Can’t Have it All? Really interesting stuff. I chose the opposite track from Dr. Slaughter, I’m more than a decade behind her in parenting and … Continue reading In which I go on for ages about a completely new topic→

Overall, I’d say I’m about 1000% less stressed by feeding Tuck than I was before. I’m much less concerned about buying special foods or worrying what he’ll eat if we go out, and I’ve enjoyed the new rhythm of our evenings, with Tuck’s … Continue reading Status report: 3 weeks of Family Dinner→

Snacks, I’ve found, are a major reason Tuck, at least, didn’t try things at meals. We were always strict about snacks–he had one at 10 and one after nap (usually 3:30); they were limited in size, and he never had a snack cup or anything that allowed him to determine when he’d … Continue reading On Snacks→

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I should be doing with this blog. (Obviously more than nothing, which has been the status for far too long.) Honestly, this pregnancy has been much harder than the first–chasing a very active toddler is incredibly draining, and I’ve been … Continue reading Feeding a toddler: I refuse to be beaten→

Since we moved, I’ve had another opportunity to give it a try: The dining room.
