It’s too early.

This morning I got up at 5:34, because Adeia was WIDE awake. Apparently the sun now rises at 5:30, directly in her window. Shades, and blinds, AND curtains are not enough.

Hilariously, it was darker in her room at 7:15 when I put her down for a ‘nap’ than it was at 5:30. Needless to say, I think I’m going to go buy a concrete slab and cover her window with it. Why are there even windows in bedrooms, anyway? This is a serious design flaw. I mean, it isn’t like you need to look out the window at the street while you’re sleeping!

Normally, my toddler sleeps ’til somewhere between 8-9:30 am. I am very interested in keeping things ‘normal.’

That’s all I have to say about that.

I’m not dead.

I know that I haven’t posted in a while - since February 28th, 2008, actually. There are several reasons for this. First of all, I’ve been pretty busy getting us settled in our apartment, starting a new job, and spending as much time as possible with my ladies. I also kind of lost the ‘blogging spirit’ for a bit, I suppose. Why do I do this, and who the heck reads it anyway? Not to mention that, let’s be honest, Susan’s posts have gotten to be way more entertaining than mine.

New Look, Same Great Taste!

Every once and a while we like to spice things up on the whatisatuma? blog. Over the course of the year since we first entered the blogosphere, whatisatuma? has existed in three different incarnations. Only a select few had the privilege of catching the first theme, which had an image of grass at the header. Most of you probably remember the ridiculously green theme number two, and of course the most recent theme, which was Refe’s first foray into custom CSS editing. It was a good first effort, but quite frankly, if you looked at it too long you ran the risk of an eMigraine. There was just too much going on. So, in an effort to clean things up a bit we give you the fourth and prettiest incarnation yet!

We hope you like it, and find that it is much easier on the eyes. The header is subject to change - that’s the best I could come up with tonight. Let us know what you think!

Mama Mia!

Apparently there’s been some confusion.

Adeia is much smarter than most of her peers. Most kids her age don’t know how to use a cell phone. Adeia can make calls, because she knows how to use speed dial. Most kids her age are afraid to go down the slide. Addie goes down headfirst, and then she climbs up the slide (not the stairs) to go back down again. She uses more words than her peers, knows what a killer whale is, and can build very small towers out of mega-blocks.
