Ou pral rete avek nou - You are going to live with us.I've been having a discontented week. If you've been pregnant, you know that feeling when you are nearing the end, and you are just OVER the wait, and ready for the baby to be born already? Yeah, that's how I feel times two right now. I'm anxious for our baby girl to be born, but I'm also feeling a growing sense of wanting and needing Keanan home.I know it's mostly about me, because he is perfectly happy where he is at.

Miss Manners Tackles Transracial Adoption
This was in last week's Miss Manner's column:Nosy people don't deserve replySunday, January 25, 2009By JUDITH MARTIN Dear Miss Manners : We are a noticeable family, as our children are black and my husband and I are white. We draw an inordinate amount of attention.While this was manageable when the girls were infants and couldn't really understand what was being said, now that they are getting older and are acquiring language, we are trying our best to learn how to field some of the questions . . .

I just got five more purses from Haiti. They are all the feedbag style. Several of you asked about these, because they were all sold on the first day last round. If you are interested, head on over to the Etsy store and snatch one up!new EtsyNameSpace.Mini(6588389, 'shop','gallery',2,3).renderIframe(); . . .
Why sleep when you can read?
India seems to inherited my tendency to read books while I should be sleeping. This is often the scene I find when I come to get her out of bed in the morning, or after her nap. At bedtime, she is the queen of stealth, and will tiptoe out of bed and systematically "read" every book on her shelf. It's cute, but one of these days I will need to explain to her that this habit will not serve her well once she has actual responsibilities in the morning. But for now, I'm letting it go. . . .

Jafta and the Amazing Monochromatic Dreamcoat
It's been fun to watch Jafta emerge into a little man this year. He has truly matured so much, and I love this transition from 3 to 4. I have to admit, I am not one of those moms that relishes the toddler years. I am enjoying this stage where he is developing into a cool little person. Jafta's birthday was last month, and he received a Target giftcard. He called it his "credit card". (Hmmm, no clue where he learned that concept . . .) He was so excited to go to the store and pay with his own . . .
Universal Mommy Truth
Universal Mommy Truth: If you go to the park with the Razor, it will not be used. If you take the time and effort to pack it up and carry it from the car, it will assure that the Razor will be ignored for other park activites.If, however, you leave the Razor at home, you will discover that every other child at the park has their Razor with them that day. It will be the only thing your child can think to do. They will gaze with envy and longing at the children whose mothers' brought the Razor. . . .
Sweet Francaise
India has this funny habit of adding in the prefix "a la" to certain words and phrases. Think ice cream a la mode, except that she uses it in contexts that make no sense. I think it's just a way for her to string words together that she can't fully pronounce, but the result is hilarious. It makes everything a little French and exotic. Some of my favorites:I'm ready a la go Winner a la PoohThumbs up a la cheers (meaning we do "cheers" with our thumbs. also her idea)Lightning a la Queen . . .

um, oops
Earlier this evening, a car alarm started going off on our street. This happens several times a week. For some reason, the multi-generational family across the street feels it necessary to protect their large fleet of mid-90's sedans with blaring sirens. 'Cause our suburb is so ghetto and all. I am ever annoyed by this and every time it happens, I feel like marching right over there and telling them to turn the alarm off already, NO ONE WANTS TO STEAL YOUR OLD BEAT-UP CAR.So when the alarm . . .
