— Owen to Jeremy, as Jeremy fed Hale fruit. It begins.
Letter to the White House
Just wrote my first letter to the White House, to the “Greetings Office” and included Baby Hale’s Valentine announcement. Hope the staff can read my hand writing.
We did not send for a congratulatory letter for Owen from the White House, but instead wrote to Sen. John Kerry, our man in November 2004. I need to get the letter he/his staff wrote back framed. One of these days.
Cranial Band “Exit” Day
Off to Cranial Tech. The damn helmet comes off for good today.
Valentine’s Day Preparations
Today we bought Jeremy’s Valentine’s Day present and Owen is dying to blab. He is bad with secrets. I made Hale’s announcement valentine since we never did an announcement card. It’s precious. But I will tease you and not show you until next week.
Owen’s school party is next Friday. Homemade non-candy cards/crafts only. I love Montessori.

Our Charts, by Owen
We discipline Owen with a chart of stars and frowny faces. Far more effective than time outs, taking toys away. He hates frowny faces.
Today walking past the office, I saw Owen had made charts for the rest of us.
J: one star, four frowns
K: four stars
H: three stars, one frown “because he cries too much”
The Food for Baby Program
Lajja and Parag are on their way over with homemade Indian food. That’s the trade off. They get to see Baby Hale for Lajja’s wonderful cooking.
I am willing to accept this deal from you, dear reader - a visit with Hale for food.
More From the TMI File
Hale is trying to kill me with his stinky gas. It’s working. He hasn’t had a dirty dipe in three days. Miss his old, reliable two-a-days.
