Bad Blogger

I still have the child. She could even be said to be thriving. She is supposed to be wearing glasses too, (just like mummy!) but has now lost TWO pairs and we're at a point where we just can't replace them. Plus I thought I could get reimbursed from our insurance for them and it turns out that we can't and I should have bought the glasses at a different place to get a discount that we can get through the insurance (although the Mass Eye and Ear optical shop does give a discount on kid's glasses anyway.)

So instead of blogging, I'm going to follow in  the tradition of the best lazy bloggers and just give you a link to something more interesting. While the sprog isn't even in daycare, (do  know how much that costs?!) I was sort of looking forward to school. But then I read this wonderful piece on the end of the school year and, well, this is how I feel about my own job at the end of the academic year. I imagine it will be much the same when I'm supposed to be checking homework folders and all that other crap too.

I promise next post will be something more about my own parenting.

Christmas wrap-up

Since I mentioned tree trimming in the last post, here is a short video of her playing with the bells we put on the tree

On Christmas Eve we decided to record a Singing With Family video. Several people on Facebook had complained to me that Spouse was no longer doing his Singing with Daddy videos so this was to make up for it.

And then we did another

And finally, on Christmas day we had a TON of gifts from family for Violet to open. So many that we spaced opening out over a couple of days. She's still at an age where clothes are not a disappointment for her so she got several nice outfits. Here she is trying top open a gift of bath toys from us that I clearly wrapped too well.
