		<title>Hoping Didn&#8217;t Help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Buba got sick with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, we hoped Tiny wouldn&#8217;t get it. Days went by and she seemed fine. But then, last Wednesday night, she came down with a fever. We hoped she would get a mild case, since the virus took longer to appear in her. And we hoped she&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sickness Strikes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saturday morning, neither Buba nor Tiny was up when the moon changed into a sun (at 6:35am) on their Good Nite Lite. This is very, very unusual. Buba&#8217;s normal wake up time is between 6 and 6:30am. I think Tiny would sleep later, but once Buba is up she tends to wake up shortly after. [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Needa Monkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a while since I&#8217;ve posted anything about our sleep issues (here and here). Basically, what happened was that the night wakings continued to the point where I was going out of my mind. Tiny was waking up every night and was waking Buba up with her screaming. Then it got to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>4th of July Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was Tiny and Buba&#8217;s third 4th of July, but really it&#8217;s the first one where we attempted to participate in any associated activities. Their first 4th Their second 4th The first year, they were just shy of 4 month old, and I cannot even begin to tell you how we spent that day. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s All Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, as I was in the kitchen making breakfast, Tiny and Buba were playing with Hot Wheels in the living room. Tiny had taken the plastic Ziploc bag of cars out of the toy drawer, and was rolling them one by one across the hardwood floor to Buba, who sat a few feet away. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short on Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not really sure why I thought I&#8217;d have any time at all to relax this summer and attempt to make a dent in the booklist I put together for summer reading. T&#8217;s last day of teaching was June 22nd, and having two parents home should make life easier, right? In theory, I suppose. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water Play Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saturday morning, T and I took Buba and Tiny to wash the fire trucks in the center of town. It&#8217;s an event organized by our town&#8217;s family focused organization and tends to happen once a year (maybe twice, we&#8217;re fairly new to this group). We got there right at the starting time and were pleased [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Berry Good Morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, Tiny, Buba and I went strawberry picking. We went up to Parlee Farms (where we&#8217;d gone apple picking in October) and were supposed to meet up with a bunch of other moms from our town. But when we arrived at the entrance at about 10 minutes past the time we were supposed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Year Later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In early June 2009, Buba was found eligible for Early Intervention (EI) services. We&#8217;d asked for him to be evaluated because our pediatrician noted that he had a slight speech and language delay. Since that type of delay runs in our family, T and I knew that we wanted to act on services as soon [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Help Wanted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tiny is fiercely independent these days. Sometimes this is a great thing. Other times it is not. I know that Tiny doing something &#8220;all by self&#8221; is going to take longer than if I were to do it, so I try to give her as much time as possible to complete her task. And it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
