Waiting for the Miracle

It's been a while since I've written in this blog and with good reason. We're eagerly awaiting the arrival of our third child. We know it's a boy. We know he'll be a large baby. And we know he will be loved.

Our kids have been staying with their maternal grandparents for a full week now. Missing them is heart breaking for both the Mrs. and myself. But we know that it's for the best that they are with two people who love them, and most importantly can actively pay attention to them.

I've been doing a mixture of PTO and working remotely over the last week as we get ready. I've joked with my closest relatives that, "Hey, I could really get used to this whole working 4 hours a day and not commuting thing."

I've helped to clean the house from top to bottom. I've scrubbed tubs and toilets. I've vacuumed. I've mowed the lawn (and the weeds). I've build infant furniture and installed the car seat. I've continued listening to audiobooks and banking some rest in the form of early afternoon naps.

Now we are just waiting for baby boy.

Kids' Reward Charts and the Treasure Box

Being a parent to two children under 4 and caring a great deal about how our kids turn out with respect to manners and courtesy, I am so glad my lovely wife devised a daily rewards system ritual for the kids. The Process The kids need to behave a certain way consistently throughout the day and perform specific chores in order to get stickers. These stickers go into a chart or grid and at the end of the day we review and provide feedback on how the day went. If they fill up their charts, then they get to pick anything they want from the "Treasure Box". The Template Each child gets his or her own chart. The tasks or behaviors are "SMART" (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound). Don't worry, we aren't trying to micromanage our children like the " anal retentive chef ". Here's a link to a PDF of our two kids' reward charts if you're interested in trying this yourselves. The Review Process We tre...

Neverwhere on BBC Radio 4

Thrilled as I am to hear that Neil Gaiman's newest novel, The Ocean at the End of the Lane , has been published, I was even more excited to hear that Neverhwere the first book of his that I ever read had been adapted into a BBC Radio drama produced by Dirk Maggs. For those of you not already in the know, Dirk Maggs is the man responsible for the great "continuation" of Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as well as Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency that ran on BBC radio. So, not only did I just finish listening to one of my favorite stories, I got to hear it interpreted through a full cast produced by a man whose previous work had already won me over. The result? I enjoyed it thoroughly and could not stop listening. I think that time has shown me that Neverwhere is not a perfect story. If you haven't read it, it's basically about a man who, through performing an act of kindness, gets thrown into an alternate "fan...

If I Were a Carpenter (Bee)

Imagine if you will that you saw a pile of fine sawdust near the support beam of the stairs leading down from your deck. Next, imagine that you heard faint, pained singing coming from the direction of that pile. The closer you approached the pile, the louder the song became. Until you finally recognized the melody was this: Drawn closer to the song, you realized that it came from a perfectly circular hole carved into in the support beam. It's as if an itinerant handyman with a circle cutter stopped by to make a hobo sign on part of your house. Well, if you take out all of the stuff I've written up to this point involving Tim Hardin 's classic song, that's what we discovered this weekend at our house. We have carpenter bees ! Actual photo of the circular hole made by the bees Despite this beam being treated with stain, the bees made themselves right at home. According to the ever useful about.com, the next step to take to avoid structural damage is to a...
