		<description><![CDATA[After preschool drop-off is supposed to be naptime for toddlers, but we&#8217;ve got neighbors coming for dinner and we desperately need at least a single grape or stick of broccoli or something to show that we do, in fact, eat vitamins here. But sleepy Claudia generates her own gravity, and that&#8217;s hard to fight &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like all insomniacs, I blame my occasional bouts of sleeplessness on something. Tonight the culprit is the Outside Lands Festival. Sitting up in bed at 3-something-a-frikkin&#8217;-m, I&#8217;ll imagine how stressful the traffic is going to be tomorrow when I try to cross town over the biggest Golden Gate Park festival of the year to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Dad, I drew you a picture!” has started to strike fear into my heart. To wit: I can’t honestly say if I’m more disturbed by all the woman’s pubic hair (anatomically correct, after all) or the Cyclopean uni-boob, which may only be anatomically correct for Fern’s imaginary alien race. As they say, it’s all normal, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We don’t do a lot of juice around here, but Fern’s friend was getting some at our playdate today so I let her have some, too. Of course, I used that “kid juice” you can get, which is marketed as “Low! Sugar!” but essentially amounts to a tiny bit of apple juice cut into water. [...]]]></description>

Fern got a massive batch of splinters on her heel the other day, from playing barefoot on a wooden play structure. Three baths, a soak, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m teaching one day a week at Fern&#8217;s nursery school &#8212; it&#8217;s a co-op, so once a week I bring in some activity I&#8217;ve invented, or, more often, something I used to teach to my older kids when I was still doing outdoor education. Actually, usually I find the activities on the Internet. But I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I contemplate the garbage. Every time I throw something away, I have to consider: can anything visible be construed as treasure? And Fern, god love her, can sure construe. Tonight I excavated from what Fern calls my “treasure pocket” the following haul: four Band-Aid wrappers, a sheet of clear plastic wrap, the hanging tag from [...]]]></description>

The girl’s mom wasn’t immediately available &#8212; this is an enclosed and locked play yard, so we often work under “village rules.” So, being [...]]]></description>
