Toddler
Posted: June 13, 2011 Filed under: Dangerous Book for Boys 4 CommentsToday is one of those days where I struggle to remember thinking that it would be so much fun to have kids.
The Bwun is really adorable. Mostly. And most of the time I enjoy being around him. Today, not quite so much. We got off to a lousy start this morning and now jr is ready for a nap, but refuses to go to sleep, and the Bwun is going wild. This is how two-year-olds are, right? Sometimes I worry that I’m parenting all wrong, and that’s why the Bwun has days like today.
After a series of time outs, though, he’s calmed down a little. The house is (momentarily) quiet. Since getting sick earlier this year – was it really at the beginning of April? – I haven’t had much energy, and I feel worn out after the Bwun throws a tantrum.
Toddlers are a lot of work.

Unfortunately, I don’t know who the artist is. The image on Pinterest links to a post on tumblr, which I can only trace back to this other tumblr post. Do you have any idea how to find out who painted this?
I’m considering (someday) doing something similar, with another famous and easily recognizable painting. Maybe Starry Night? What would you do?
Caterpillar

Yesterday morning we found a caterpillar while we were playing outside! It has been an object of much admiration. We put it in a baby food jar with some leaves and grass and sticks. That’s what you do with caterpillars, right? The kids and I are headed to California in a few days, so we’ll see if it does ok without us.
