Pattersons of Ethiopia: October 2009
http://pattersonsofethiopia.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Conversations with the Kidpants: The Wha? Mihret is sitting on the potty before heading into the bath. I am there, along with Kara. Mihret: Go away, please, Mama. Kara: (Assumes Mihret is starting to learn about privacy.) Okay, Mihret. Mihret: You’ll never leave here, Dad. Mihret: (Starting to stand up, pointing a finger at me.) I’m gonna poke you in the eye! Me: No sweetheart. That’s not nice, we don’t do that. Kara: Well, that was creepy. Me: What’s wrong, sweetie? When Mih...

Pattersons of Ethiopia: November 2012

Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Our Girl, and the Election. I’ve been reading a lot about voter demographics today. In short, a surprising amount of the election yesterday was determined by the black, Latino, and female vote. My daughter, the Ethiopian girl learning Spanish in her bilingual school, is the new face of the United States. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Other Places You Can Find Us. Josh's Novels on Kindle.

Pattersons of Ethiopia: Unsolved Mystery
http://pattersonsofethiopia.blogspot.com/2010/11/unsolved-mystery.html
Friday, November 5, 2010. Lately, our life has revolved around a magical thing called The Potty. If you listen to people like My Friend, The Nanny, kids eventually just get it. They figure out how to do it, they think it's grand, they pull off the pull-up and they are ready to go. It happens as if by magic. The only problem is, in our house, it isn't happening by magic. She doesn't have to clean them. And all the while, she kept getting better at the MECHANICS of the potty. She can pull down her own pull...

Pattersons of Ethiopia: My New Book, August, And Ethiopia
http://pattersonsofethiopia.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-new-book-august-and-ethiopia.html
Monday, August 15, 2011. My New Book, August, And Ethiopia. If I didn’t make it clear in my essay about how I’m giving 10% of my book profits to Ethiopia Reads. My heart lies in the country where my daughter was born. Sadly, Ethiopia and the country that borders it, Somalia, are in dire straights. You can read about it by clicking here. But I’ll warn you, it’s a heart-wrenching story. What’s the novella about? Or read an excerpt here. Will this cut into my giving to Ethiopia reads? And if you find that y...

Pattersons of Ethiopia: Family History and the Big Girl Bed
http://pattersonsofethiopia.blogspot.com/2010/06/family-history-and-big-girl-bed.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Family History and the Big Girl Bed. Growing up is tough. Growing up as a parent is tougher. The various tests and troubles of parenting start the moment your kid comes home. They have a pattern of some kind, but they can’t explain it to you, because they haven’t learned to talk yet. So your life turns into a science experiment of eating, and sleeping, and diapers, and cuddling, and eventually you get to a point where everything works. Then you adjust, and then, BOOM, over.

Pattersons of Ethiopia: July 2011
http://pattersonsofethiopia.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 1, 2011. Why I’m Giving 10% of My Book Sales to Ethiopia Reads. Like many people, I grew up as a reader in a house with limited funds. Luckily for me, I lived in Oshkosh, WI – a city that had (and still has) a great library. I could go there at any time, and walk out with a stack of books I wanted to read, at no cost to me. And I learned about the abject poverty: The average person in Ethiopia lives on 125 dollars a year. Then I became aware of a man named Yohannes Gebregeorgis. 8220;To crea...

Pattersons of Ethiopia: November 2010

Wednesday, November 10, 2010. I'm not sure I can format this one to tell a story, but here it is anyway: The newest, oddest thing my daughter does. It goes like this:. Mihret and I get into the middle of an activity. Suddenly, my daughter feels she must state a rule. Like so:. Her: We sit when we eat, right dad? Me: Right, Mihret. Her: Right, Dad? Me: Right, Mihret. And so on. It's like living in a "Leave it to Beaver" episode. Her: Right, Dad? Me: Right, Mihret. Her: Right, Mom? Kara: Right, Mihret.
