One of my favourite books as a kid (or at least one I remember most vividly) was Judith Viorst’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Even though the illustrations are black and white, Amelia loves it too and often pulls it off the shelf for us to read.

This documentary is a fascinating look coddled kids and over-involved parents.
Amelia and I went to the park yesterday afternoon because it was beautiful and warm for February. A garderie was there with about 15 kids a few years older than Amelia. For the most part she just stood and watched the other kids play, go down the slide, shovel in the snow, etc. Occasionally she [...]
The past few days, Amelia has had a hard time falling asleep at naptime.
