Checking In
As we draw closer to Penny's third birthday we thought we check in with how we're doing on our New Year's resolutions this year. We promise a separate post on how we're doing on the whole three-year-old thing, but that's a totally different post!
So, how are we doing? The resolution is in bold and our progress listed next to it:
10. Write more blog entries. Um. FAIL on this one. We'll do better. Really. We promise.
9. If at all possible, and especially if traveling with children, avoid flying the “big six” legacy air carriers. Check. We flew JetBlue for our recent outing to San Francisco. Extra leg room. Good customer service. Free drinks and snacks. Ahhhh.....
8. Stop and play. We're actually doing pretty well with this one. It's fun, now that Penny is developing a good imagination. Her favorite game: going to the Milk Store. We're apparently grooming a discriminating consumer.
7. Start getting more serious about the potty training thing. Done. Haven't changed a diaper in months! WooHoo!
6. Put away the baby toys and get a play kitchen. Also done. Besides playing milk store, Penny likes to make us dinner and snacks. If only her real diet was as varied as her plastic toy diet...(see below!)
5. Think about transitioning to the toddler bed. Not only is she in her toddler bed, she's growing so fast we're starting to think of moving her to a real, full-on big girl bed. Special shout-out here to Freecycle. We got her toddler bed for free from a listserv that gives people the opportunity to give away stuff they don't need to neighbors who do.
4. Lose weight. Done and done. Both mom and dad are in fightin' trim. Except for that occasional trip to the pancake house, that is.
3. Mini Cooper to minivan? The old mini van is alive and kickin' , dwarfing the Cooper in the driveway. The van is extremely useful for hauling large numbers of people and, of course, mulch. Apologies to the passengers for making them arrive at the destination smelling like mulch. You know who you are.
2. Penny ate part of a turkey sandwich the other day. Maybe time to start trying other foods again, like, for instance, fruits and vegetables? Um...do plastic fruits and veggies count? (see above)
1. File away 2.5 years of new parent experience for potential future use… Filed. Along with those baby toys now inhabiting the attic.

1st- what a classic and cute photo on the trike. LOVE IT!
2nd- i got a baby bjorn on freecycle. the much improved kind with back support- and it is almost like new. a must have item for the mother of a newborn. i wear him in it while bouncing on a yoga ball and surfing the internet in silence so he'll sleep. whatever it takes!
3rd- i lost about 15 lbs when i had the baby (does that count?)
What you put on the no.1, file away 2.5 years of new parent experience, is a good thing for me. It reminds me when I was as a new parent. Good memory, and thanks.

thanks to my private connection with god i know men and women have been developed similarly but
1 query i could in no way locate the answer to is why you will find much more
males operating as physicians, engineers and scientists?
the ratio males:girls is about 99:1 that is really mentioned.
the ratio must happen to be 1:1 or at the very least 2:
1 but no. why is that this?

" Oh, and for your really like of God, can manufacturers PLEASE stop putting charging ports around the side" I fully agree.
This is certainly one of android's largest weaknesses compared to Apple. Their inconsistent port design, which makes creating universal docks and accessories nearly impossible. I think Google should implement a few basic hardware requirements. All charging ports must be placed centrally with the bottom on the device together with the same orientation and the headphone port should be placed with the top. This would enable companies to design docks that could operate using a huge range of Android devices.

I reside in Dallas. Even though you will find almost 20,000 much more males in
this metropolis than ladies, this figure is really a bit misleading.
There is a higher number of homosexual males, and also immigrant staff, who skew
the quantities. All of the places on the record appear
to be big towns that most likely have equivalent kinds
of populations. If you're just looking for any great location to party then it truly is great. If you're searching for a boyfriend or husband, you will be disappointed.
