In the continuing saga of our animal kingdom, Mose grows increasingly comfortable with all of the animals. While just a couple of weeks ago he could barely bring himself to touch Hannah or Nettie and crawled away as fast as he could whenever they entered the room, he’s now almost oblivious to their movements and [...]

Baby steps

Boy have the adults been waylaid by illness in this house. First Edie and now Justin. Thankfully it looks like the worst is behind us and–knock on wood–Mose has been spared it all. Given how many times Edie and I have had to take primary care of everyone else in the family–spouses, baby, dogs and [...]
Our animal kingdom

Peace continues to reign in our household between Mose and the animals. Hannah’s still a bit afraid of Mose, but Nettie is increasingly accepting of our new addition and gives drive-by kisses to Mose when he least expects them. Mose mostly takes this in stride and has gotten over his initial fear of touching Nettie. [...]
The Thrill of Victory

As many of you know, Mose does a worm-like army crawl, which for his age is a little behind the curve. But Mose is gaining strength and agility by leaps and bounds. I have a feeling he’s going to go straight from wiggling on the floor to walking–and then we’ll really be in trouble. He’s [...]

Turns out, Mose is a merboy. Get him near the tub and he sprouts fins and gills and just goes water crazy. He loves to swim and splash and simply can’t get wet enough. He’ll dip his face down into the water and blow bubbles, and you can toss bucket after bucket of water over [...]

They love Mose at DRCLAS, but I feel every time I walk in there with him that there’s some secret agenda to woo him to Harvard, when we all know he’s going to Oberlin. Well,okay, he can make up his own mind about it all, but maybe I should look into a fellowship in Oberlin [...]
Bragging rights

The Randerson grandparents have come and seen the boy. To be fair to the other grandparents, it’s hard to beat how close they live (just a nice train ride up from New Jersey). And if it makes anyone feel any better, Edie’s been down with a terrible flu for the last week (thus the hiatus [...]

We took our first outing with other children this weekend. The possibility that Mose might have contracted the mumps in Ethiopian had kept us isolated from kids, but with the incubation period passed, we have finally ventured out. Mose has a cold now, but that’s no biggie–kids are always getting colds. So we headed with [...]
