  Trick or Tiger

  Just in time for Christmas: Halloween pictures! Here we see Sean modeling the latest in designer feline stripes… actually, I’m really proud of this costume. I know it’s a fairly simple tunic, but I’m a novice sewer and it fit him so nicely! (One of the shoulders is velcro-ed to get the thing over his […]

  Zoo

  In October, we took a trip to the Austin Zoo. I’m always a bit wary about zoos, as they can be depressing places. This zoo, however, only takes in animals that are discarded from other places — the old, sick, injured, and unwanted. It actually started out as a ranch and rehabilitated farm animals. And […]

  Bike

  Back at the beginning of October we got Sean his first bike. We’d seen a Strider running bike at the park a few months earlier (which Sean wanted desperately to try out), and so I looked up running bikes(aka “balance bikes” aka “push bikes”) on the Internet. I’d never heard of them before, as they […]

  Climbing

  Yesterday Sean and I went to the park after daycare. Sean had just this past weekend made it up the climbing wall there with little help from his dad. So he immediately headed for the wall and I grabbed my camera. I love this set of three videos that capture wall climbs #1, #2, and […]

  20 Million Bats

  Okay, I know this is totally weird, but this post is not about Sean (with apologies to those of you who tune in regularly specifically to read posts about Sean). Back in August, I went to the Ecological Society of America meeting, which, as luck would have it, was in Austin. This is the premier […]

  Potty Win!

  Ah potty training. There’s nothing like potty training to stir up debate among parents. There are no obviously right answers to questions like when? and how? A million opinions, but the reality coming down to many versions of “it depends” and especially “it depends on the child.” Just like most other things in kid-raising, it […]
