More excellent parenting feedback today. At the beach, Whit was unhappy when I kept “redirecting” him from knocking down Grace’s sandcastles. Finally, in exasperation, he yelled at the top of his lungs: “You are a BAD MUMMY!” I know, I know, he was just using his power to manipulate and twisting the knife that he [...]

Baby girl Mead Gilheany has arrived! As yet unnamed and unweighed, but screaming her delight in this world over the phone. And arrived like a hurricane on this night, August 25, 2008. She was in a hurry, after all of that waiting!!! So much love to Hilary, Terence, Hannah, and my newest niece. Email this [...]
GBP

This is the photo that coined the nickname Gracie Big Pants. It stuck such that certain people still call Grace GBP. I love that she looks so indignant and cross – like, “hey, take these damned Big Pants off of me!” Email this post
