		<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[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>

We’re on vacation; it’s our first day in the cabin, which is remote enough from retail establishments that what we have is pretty much what we’ll get. And Fern is putting every [...]]]></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>

But that’s the issue my piece is in. Hey, y’all! It’s the first day of June, which as I’m sure you realize means that my latest trimonthly missive [...]]]></description>

Not in the sense that I make up funny stories for the blog, or even that I&#8217;m actually a 14-year old boy from Salzburg. No, I&#8217;m a fake parent right now, and it&#8217;s all Blueberry&#8217;s fault. The other day, two of the girls&#8217; visiting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Blueberry is not even three weeks old, and yet I&#8217;m already stunned at how differently I&#8217;m experiencing her infancy. Vikings are tough. Once last week, Blue slept in a sling against my body while I balanced on a swivel chair to change a light bulb. Remember that &#8220;I think I&#8217;m going to break the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I launch into creative projects without any inkling that I might lack the requisite talent to complete them &#8212; overconfidence is my nature. Which is why I didn&#8217;t think twice before inviting two of Boo&#8217;s girlfriends (that&#8217;s so fun to say!) to carve pumpkins the other day. We have pumpkins, we have markers and paint, [...]]]></description>
