		<description><![CDATA[“You really have to clean your room every day or else it gets ridiculous,” said my daughter. Yep, read that again: said my daughter. Fern was talking to a friend in the car, gloriously oblivious to my presence as only four-year olds can be oblivious. Like when kids hide their face in a couch cushion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The neighborhood 5-year old, whom Fern worships like the full-sentence-writing goddess she is, was nonetheless the topic of a complaint yesterday. “She says I can’t have that dress because she still fits in it.” Just another parenting moment, right? And a million lessons present themselves: Graciousness. “Neighbor girl gives you a dress or a toy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m delusional about free time. Every time I get some, I imagine that I’m going to be able to complete every little unfinished chore on my list, which, given the size of said list, leaves the realm of “optimistic” and enters the kingdom of “fool’s paradise.” Good F’ing Morning Claudia was up during one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s after midnight and I&#8217;m wiping down the dining room table for the third time today. At three, Boo has mastered the skills necessary for fine dining but remains less interested in demonstrating said table manners than in performing creative food experiments. Boo pretends she’s laundry to get my attention. Tonight, I find that she&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

So I think you should take both girls tomorrow and just do whatever you’d most like to do. I swear, I won’t mind at all and I won’t get in [...]]]></description>

Her gyrating arms reached for me but missed &#8212; this is a scene I still replay in my head daily, even now, a month later. I was too slow, dull, and exhausted to save my own daughter from crashing to the ground. Thanks, O ye Fates [...]]]></description>

And all I can think about is the laundry. Becoming a stay-at-home dad to Boo three years ago was major, sure, but for all that, [...]]]></description>

Beats me how it happened, but my daughter has become a clothes fanatic: she changes at least five times a day and usually more. She [...]]]></description>

This insomniac habit strikes about twice a week, although the specific mode of time-killing varies and there&#8217;s usually cookies involved if I can track &#8216;em down.
