It’s long been recognized that words and pictures complement one another within an educational setting, so one of the growing trends internationally has been to look at how to bring comic books more fully into the classroom. These aren’t the traditional comics your parents read, featuring goofy heroes wearing their underwear on the outside – […]

Erik has mastered the skill of rolling from one side to the other, both ways, while on his back. Although this is an important milestone to his development, I wasn’t so overwhelmed to see it. But today morning he surprised me big time. It’s been a month since we started using the Fisher-Price Rainforest 1-2-3 […]

On the 15th of September, when Erik was 1 1/2 months old, he slept for 6 1/2 hours straight right after his first night feed. That was a sleep record for us and it only happened once. After that he more or less went back to his normal routine, meaning waking up every 3-4 hours […]
