MiscellanEris
Dec. 23rd, 2018 12:47 pmI nicked the kid's finger pretty bad while trimming her fingernails last night. Of course it will heal up pretty quick, but I feel bad about hurting her, plus now I'm probably back to square one on getting her to hold still for a nail trimming.
I keep meaning to write down some of the adorable mispronunciations Eris makes. For example:
balloon → bah-boon
spaghetti → pah-sket-ti (this one is common enough to be almost a running joke about how kids mispronounce things)
videos → bee-yohs
beluga (from "Baby Beluga") → bah-boo-gah (though she's recently started pronouncing this correctly)
tyrannosaurus → die-no-sore-us (though maybe that's more confusion than a mispronunciation per se?)
What else? I need to write more. I need to sleep more. I'm stressed out about work. Not that work hasn't been fine, but I've become more aware of difficulty getting on a more-than-fine trajectory. I guess part of it is just that maintaining the "life" part of my work-life balance has been a lot more difficult. Which is predictable! But in 2016 I was totally fine with that, while now I want to be able to push the "work" part a little more. (I'm envy-driven, I don't want to be left behind by my more-talented peers.)
Next week (from Christmas to New Year's Eve) we're going to visit family in New York. Eris has her third birthday soon. Of course every parent gets to hang onto "their baby" forever, but I think that's the line where "a baby" no longer applies. It's already becoming increasingly implausible.
