I’m totally wasting my Rainbow morning nap/shower time squeezing in a post here, which is especially ridiculous considering I have nothing much to say and haven’t even brushed my teeth yet, but let’s just see where this goes.
(TOTALLY just an excuse to drink a third cup of coffee.)
Rainbow is just over the top with [...]

Yesterday, Rainbow woke early from his afternoon nap at about 2:00. He usually sleeps for at least two hours, and this time just slept for a little over an hour. And, my, my, my, but that boy was INCONSOLABLE. He’s hardly ever a crier, but he just could not be made happy. [...]

Yeah, not so much a happy milestone, but inevitable, I suppose. He’s been kind of crabby the last few days, which I attributed to teething, and coughing just a bit, which I also attributed to teething. But this morning he woke up with light yellow goop escaping from his nostrils, which I don’t [...]

Holy smoke, but it’s been raining a lot around here.
The Fishmaster said that on Thursday people on the sideroads near his school had to be rescued from their rooftops due to flooding. And it’s just not letting up. There was some non-raining time yesterday, but here it is back again this [...]

I was utterly depleted today. Like, sick-feeling sleepy and bummed out. Maybe just the cumulative effect of many 6-hours’ sleep nights, when really, I just need more rest to feel good. I had hoped for a nap when Rainbow took his morning nap, but by the time I’d fed the dogs and put them [...]

He is utterly magnificent.
Like all of our boys.
I think at one point (early in this whole shebang) I was concerned that I would love him less since he wasn’t biologically mine. It was just a fleeting worry, though, because I knew I would love him. And I [...]

First, VETERINARY NEWS: Wolfric, the German shepherd, has a food allergy. This accounts for his (unusual for upright-eared dogs) ear infection of a couple of months ago and the rash on his tummy and underarms. So, yeah. No treats and we get to buy special, expensive food for him. Yay!
Sharon, the kitty (name is not [...]

Well, we knew this, so it’s no surprise:
Rainbow is a very big boy.
He weighs 24.5 pounds and is 29 inches long, which puts him in the “greater than 97th” percentile range for both. His head circumference is in the 91st percentile, at 45.5 cm.
(Off topic: Why is the length in inches and the circumference in [...]

AAAAARGHHHH!!!!!
Today is Rockinrolla’s first day at his new school, which is also Daddy J’s and my alma mater. A somewhat prestigious private school, which we plan for him to attend for the next six years.
And man, we were ready. Uniforms, textbooks, new large backback, folders, USB thing for the computer, summer reading, desk [...]
