		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Pretty much every day, I take one of the most precious items in my life &#8212; my baby daughter &#8212; and toss her bodily up into the skylight. Y’know? 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[The parent education topic down at the nursery school tonight is “Pr*sch**lers and S*x.” (Pardon my awkward hiding of that “forbidden phrase,” but the last thing I need are more crazy Googlers ending up here. My post years ago about toddlers without clothing at the beach is still my second most popular hit, after Krispy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fern came out of the bathroom this morning, tugging up her leggings. As usual, I hadn’t heard a flush, but I had more pressing concerns: “Did you wipe?” When Fern’s in a hurry, she forgets the niceties. “Yes!” she said. “So if I look in the toilet, I’ll see some toilet paper?” Sometimes that forgetting-to-flush [...]]]></description>

As much as I try to avoid conflict &#8212; and let’s face it, some days I just don’t try that hard &#8212; she and I end up on opposite sides of some issue every other hour or so. “Sit while you’re eating.” “Eat while you’re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently stumbled across a truism that instantly saved me from most of the emotional head-butting that had become a daily feature of my relationship with Boo: Children are crazy. Consider this monologue, reported here as close to verbatim as possible: &#8220;Do you want to hear the song I just wrote about a horse named [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Things were going fine on Boo&#8217;s first day of school until the blood. Sure, there was the usual craziness of introductions. Meeting a dozen new people (most of whom I&#8217;ll know for the next two or twenty years) was a tough memory game even for me. For three-year old Boo, all the names and faces [...]]]></description>

Teaching, after all, isn’t just saying what you know, it’s saying what you know in a way that your audience will “get.” Today, I feel… On the other hand, sometimes [...]]]></description>
