  • 3 October 2010 Evolution of a Cyclist

    Oct 3, 2010

    Today Sam tried out her first pedal bike. After several cautious starts, and a few rests, then some more cautious starts, AC let go of the bike. And she stayed up! Then they did it all over again. And again. Each time Sam rode by herself for a little longer before braking. I wish I could have captured on camera the …

    Oct 1, 2010

    The day before her fifth birthday Sam reached a milestone: she completed her first swim class without a parent in the water with her! She was extremely nervous about this. I was extremely nervous about her being extremely nervous. But once she got in the water she was fine. And for once I got to take pictures instead …

  • The Disappearing Alphabet

    Oct 1, 2010

    I love Richard Wilbur’s poetry and I especially appreciate his collection for kids: The Disappearing Alphabet.

  • 26 September 2010 The Wardrobe

    Sep 26, 2010

    An old cardboard moving box + a lot of parcel tape + AC’s ingenuity = one Wardrobe to Narnia! Here it is a few hours later: Yes, I know, it’s very subtle. Unlike C.S. Lewis’s wardrobe, ours lets you know up front that you’re entering another world. The real mystery of our wardrobe is whether or not it will withstand …

  • Autumn

    Sep 24, 2010

    It’s not Fall in the UK, it’s Autumn. And Autumn has been asserting its arrival in the UK long before yesterday’s equinox. Now there’s no pretending that it’s still summer. Even in the occasional sunny air there’s a new crispness. The light in the morning is different, brighter, and at the end of the day it recedes …

  • 23 September 2010 George’s Marvellous Medicine

    Sep 23, 2010

    Yes with two LLs apparently. That’s how they spell it here. I learned that the hard way when I had trouble finding a copy of Roald Dahl’s story in the online library catalog. (We never did manage to get a hard copy of the book. Instead I downloaded a free pdf version, converted it to an epub, and we read it on my …
