random musings from a hustle bustle mind 2011

you may remember the post with an identical title from last year...motivated by the same busyness, i give you the 2011 installment:

stover girl is breezing through kindergarten but the rest of us are still adjusting to her absence. i.e. with a new pseudo-maturity in tact, how will she get enough nurture? how can the after-school routine be structured to avoid her fatigued grumpiness? how will stover boy occupy his time when mom is busy, stover girl's gone, and it's not computer or tv time? when will the routine of school pickup/ dropoff feel normal rather than like living in the car?

stover dad has new bragging rights after hiking the grand canyon rim to rim in 10 hours.


stover baby is thrilled to be acquiring mobility- scooting, crawling, and pulling herself up on EVERYTHING. (as i'm writing this post, she is pulling on the computer cord anticipating it'll pull her up like a waterski rope.) she is wildly content when within arms reach of mom but left alone to move and explore.


the inner yogini in mom will eventually enable her to do a headstand!

last night, i giggled when the neighbor and i literally passed children over the backyard fence for a playdate at dusk!
