She pees, He Tweets, She parties, He pucks

Stella still asking to pee. She has expanded her vocabulary and it is adorable. Kuby (kirby) GutDob (Good Job) EEEEEEn (Ian) and the other kids plus a firm "noooooo"

Daron is on Twitter.  @dwelfeld. Password is hippohippo which is tender and ironic given one of his first tweets was @IDF Gaza is going down. Despite the brazen tweet, most of his tweets blend snarky with kiddy and I am in awe.  I love the he wants to hear and be heard.  Please @Jets tweet back.

Dorothy had a Princess party because of a House Party kit I got through work> Rachel, Eliana, and the Tabuouche twins were here and it was sweet.

Ian and Daron rocked back to school teacher conferences. So proud of them.

Sunday looked like this:

Parent teacher conferences (many)
Flu Shot
Shiva visit
Parent teacher conferences
Basketball
Hockey
Princess Party
Ian homework

Wouldnt have it any other way

Stella peed!

Every night before the bath I put her on the toilet and count to 10. Tonight, at 3, there was pee!  15 months. I think she was pretty surprised.

Tonight was parent night at Dorothys dancing school. Daron and Stella came because MIke waws pickign up hockey.

Stella loved the dancing and marched around the room saying hi to people and other babies. Daron looked at me and said "She's speed dating" - huh? How did he get that term?

We started turning off the hallway light so I can sleep better and Dorothy keeps asking me why I can't sleep when it is too sunny.

Hurricane Sandy.

Hurricane Sandy. Monday -Friday with no power, followed by a snow storm mini blackout. What a way to end October.

We were cold but fine, Stella took to running through the house in a flashlight in the dark.

Daron is now on Twitter. One kid won't talk to his classmates in the street, the other is prepared to tweet to the world. Couldn't love them both more. So endlessly fascinated by our kids.

Stella loves her siblings. Says "EEEEEEan, Daaaden, Darty and Mommea and Debbie and Daddy" and she laughs and now yells and runs around like an energizer bunny.

Dorothy decided to cut bangs. She also thought of the song "I won't give up on you" and hopefully her class will sing a song, do a project and share with a class deeply harmed by Sandy.

Jets struggling which is hard on Mike.

The other day Dorothy handed me papers from school but it was in the morning rather than evening before  "This is from yesterday. If you see tomorrows in here it means today."
