I’ve started writing on Gather.com (have to get all that stuff organized - feel like bits of me are strewn all over the blogosphere and it’s be nice to just know where they are), and have a new piece up today. I’m amazed it made any sense, as I was writing three feet from the A-Z SpongeBob Squarepants marathon. Yes, you know where I’ll be tonight at 8 pm, 7 Central.
Discovering your children’s combinations
Last night as I settled into bed after tucking the children in, I replayed each child’s goodnight in my head. Each was different, and always has been. There are little secrets, little rituals and subtle gestures that unlock their soft and sleepy side. I know this because if we ever skip them, or heaven forbid, suggest they grow out of them and be big boys and girls, all heck will break loose. Also? You lose a little bit of yourself as you let each one fade away…

They’re so sweet. That’s the stuff I miss now that they’re all grown up.

Nice rituals. I finally gave in to all the parenting tips that advised establishing a ritual, and it’s made my life easier. When I stick to it.
Did you notice who is advertising below this blog? Ms. Seinfield herself. oops.

The only predictable thing about kids is that they are unpredictable. That makes parenting more interesting.
