My kid loves watching Who concert DVDs almost as much as I do, now. He especially loves to get out my old guitar hero controller and pretend to move like Pete Townshend while I sing along ( Read more... )

So, sleep training is still going well. After my little "uggh the crying!!" entry a couple of nights ago, he went to sleep after I held and rocked him for a bit.

For some reason I've been friended by at least five different russian folks on LJ who I do NOT know whatsoever. I haven't been friended by anyone on LJ in a year or two before this sudden influx of Ruskies.

I want more community in my life. It's why I moved back. I feel like I haven't done enough to achieve this ( Read more... )
