It's been busy around here--we're installing a fence in our backyard and getting ready to leave for France next week. We'll be gone until the end of July. We hope that Zari learns lots of home improvement skills from all of the time she spends in the backpack watching us work.
In the meantime, here's a thought-provoking essay for you to read: "Childhood, Industrialized."
I forwarded that along to everyone who has anything to do with the development of my children's sociological ideals. Thanks ;)
ReplyDeleteShe loves being out working with us. I think being on my back helps--she can see everything that's going on. Sometimes I get a little tired carrying Zari PLUS large heavy objects such as 6' tall privacy fence panels...but it's worth it. And I have a suspicion that it's helping slim me down as well!
ReplyDeleteDo you still plan to blog while you are in France? I hope so; I visit your site every day.
ReplyDeleteYay on the slimming down business. That is the most frustrating part, in my opinion, about having a new baby especially since I tend to get really slim right before I get pregnant again. Oh well, it's worth it. :)
I will still have internet access, but fairly limited and none really at all for the first few weeks.
