I took Elizabeth in to a chiropractor to get her alignment checked.
It was just a routine check recommended by her Grandi Mac, because if
there are any problems, they are a lot easier to fix when they’re
this young.
I found a chiropractor who was recommended by a friend and it turns
out that kids 12 and under are […]

There’s nothing like a pair of shoes to bring out the girlie-girl in
Elizabeth. Elizabeth has several pairs of shoes and several pairs of
slippers. Lately she has been demanding to wear one patent leather
shoe and one sneaker. That’s all that will do. I’ve given in to her
when we’re here at the house, but I draw the […]

Over the holidays Grandi Mac, Elizabeth and I set out on a shopping
expedition. I think we waited a bit too long for Elizabeth’s liking
to decide to go eat some lunch. We ended up at Mellow Mushroom, a sit-

instead of Seabiscuit the movie from Netflix. It was mostly just

pointed out to her that they were horses. The following week she and

Since her Aunt Kirsty brags about this, I guess I should too.
Elizabeth has had her own chore for the past several months. It is
her job to feet the cats and Finley. Every morning I fill the scoop
with a cup of cat food and she trots over and dumps it in their bowl.
The first few times […]

Elizabeth has finally become a good eater. I was growing tired of
preparing food for her that she barely touched. There’s still no
convincing her to eat when she doesn’t want to, but I’ve noticed that
she and Finley have the same tendency to eat in spurts. Elizabeth
still never turns down a dog food kibble. Ugh.
It’s great that […]

We survived the holidays and I’ve run out of excuses for not devoting some time to my blog. I really shouldn’t put it that way. It’s more like I can finally put off laundry and other things that I should be doing because out last visitor left yesterday and we aren’t expecting anyone any time […]
