SteelyKid has developed a bunch of new skills recently, which she shows off in this video of her sitting up like a big girl, and pulling toys out of her shape sorter box:
(Thanks to Ewan and Jenny for the shape sorter box, by the way. It's pretty much the ultimate dog toy (a selection of small pieces that squeak, rattle, or crackle), so we have to be careful about when and where SteelyKid gets to play with it, but she loves it. As you can see.)
And now, we're off to investigate big-girl strollers, as SteelyKid has outgrown her infant carrier.

I don't think I really recognized how much stuff I've avoided dealing with by only having boys until I read _Cinderella Ate My Daughter_ by Peggy Orenstein. You see, despite the fact that I joke about living in the testosterone house, or being the only female in a house of guys (until C. and K.…
SteelyKid is much too young for cartoons, but it's not to early to celebrate the weekend with a riot of bright colors and stylized animal shapes:
We had a really good morning of "Happy Awake Baby" (as opposed to "Happy Sleeping Baby" or "Screaming Awake Baby," which are more common), and she had a…
I have some trepidation about raising a girl in today's culture. How do I navigate the over-princessing and over-sexualization of the preschool years without becoming a militant mom and always saying "no"? So far I've tried to strike a good compromise. Minnow has plenty of pink in her wardrobe,…

Interesting -- it's a floppy shape sorter box. I remember them being hard plastic... seems that would be better for teaching which shapes go where and in what orientation. Though I guess this might be less frustrating at first.
It one of the college requirements I had were two pysch classes and two sociology classes. Actually I did three sociology so I ended up with a slight specialization.
Anyhow the pysch classes were general and developmental. I learned it well enough but never really saw it in action.
One fateful day we started babysitting for a friend who was taking Saturday classes. She had an 8 year old (He and I were thick as thieves!) and an infant. From birth to one year we saw Jayden every week and it was amazing to see that from month 4 to month 6 its like a light switch gets thrown into the "ON" position.
could we get some digustingly cute Emmy videos to go along with that? We've got lots of lovely pictures of the queen, but (as far as I know), we've never gotten to see her magnificence in motion!
You're all *most* welcome. I have been fascinated to get the 'slightly ahead' posts from SK as warning for Keiran :).
Got to say she's cute, my wife's just expecting our third, Two boys so far, so,, imagine, no pressure. We have lots of wrecked boys gear, notttt..
