Language is hard

This point in Myron’s language development is both amazing and funny. I mostly wanted to write this as a reminder for my future self of these things that make me laugh and will one day make me laugh again. There were some other funny things Myron used to do which he grew out of, and […]

Trucks and Trains

Myron’s love of wheels has entered a new phase. Bicycles and trucks have, for a long time, been a favorite. So Myron was Trash Truck (from the television show with the same name) for Halloween. Em was Donny the raccoon, and I was Walter the bear. We tried the costume on him the day before […]

Play Cooking

At bedtime today, Myron demonstrated a couple of new developments. First: play cooking / feeding! He started by picking up a lotion sample and feeding it to his dog lamp. Later, I tried to read a book to him (Corduroy) while he was repeatedly climbing up and down a stool in his room. He half […]

Myron is 2!

Okay, he has been 2 for a while, but here’s a look back at Myron’s second birthday and Easter festivities. We got to spend some time with Nene and Dziadziu for this one, which was a welcome break from only being able to see them over video chat, and they made a lot of the […]

Introducing Molly

Meet Molly! We adopted a cat on Valentine’s Day. Em had the idea to adopt a cat for a while now since we are spending a lot of time at home. Also when Myron isn’t able to go to daycare due to covid protocols (like when he has a cold), we thought it would be […]

Remote Work Trip

We spent Thanksgiving and the month of December in New Jersey and coastal North Carolina. Now that Em’s work is remote as well, it became easy to take a long trip to spend some time with family and also work from their towns. Em’s brother’s baby was born while we were in the same state, […]

Friends

Myron’s friend, Emmy came to visit again while their parents did some moving preparations. My friend, Mary came to visit as well for a walk in the park as a wise effort to spend time outdoors together before it gets too cold to do that. Myron was napping upstairs when Emmy got dropped off, so […]

Apple Picking

Like true New Englanders, we went apple picking a few weekends ago. Myron has been enjoying apple sauce for some time now. It’s usually the first thing he chooses to eat, and sometimes it’s the only thing he eats. Whether he has made the connection between apples and apple sauce is unclear, but he did […]

Walking!

{CAPTION}

Myron has been walking unassisted for a few weeks now. He has had the skills to do it for longer, but he either didn’t realize it or didn’t fully trust it. He still wanted one of us to hold his hands while he walked, but over time, he put less and less weight on them […]

Bici and other words

{CAPTION}

Lately, Myron has been really excited about this walker from his friend, Emmy. He will walk / run in circles around the chimney, and Em and I will hide in different places and then jump out and say “boogie boogie!”, to which he laughs and then starts running faster. Sometimes he falls down when he […]
