cebii: April 2005

Wednesday, April 27, 2005. To cuff, or not to cuff. I just watched part of the video of the little girl in Florida who got cuffed by the police. A great site to learn about a great technique is www.loveandlogic.com. My partner and I have used this method with our foster kids, who are older and more set in their ways than that little five year old, but just as disturbed, with great success.

Friday, January 20, 2006. We joined a gym a couple of weeks ago. I've belonged to gyms before, but this one is really cool - new, super clean, three pools, wet and dry sauna, very family friendly. That alone was worth this month's fee. Posted by cebii @ 6:40 AM. Wednesday, January 18, 2006. Which means hectic. If I didn't really love my kids and Holly and my life, don't think I could manage it. I really want to do it. I want her to be legally ours. She is such a wonderful kid. Posted by cebii @ 12:48 PM.

Wednesday, June 29, 2005. My kids' recent milestones:. Ben, 14 mo son, has been able to climb up the little climbing wall on their tiny playscape for awhile, but he went down the slide by himself yesterday! Now, he only has to get comfortable sitting down after he climbs up. S, 14 year old, babysat (with supervision) yesterday and did a great job. She got a bonus payment from the kids' parents. Kaia, 17 year old, started her first job! Posted by cebii @ 6:50 AM. Monday, June 27, 2005. A link to K. Her dr...

Friday, December 30, 2005. The teens were more than thrilled to get their own cell phones. We had dinner as a (very large) family at one of our favorite restaurants. All in all a very good day. Posted by cebii @ 6:47 AM. Tuesday, December 27, 2005. Recovering from the holidays. As a result, Holly and I are pooped and don't have time to catch up yet. Posted by cebii @ 2:17 PM. Tuesday, December 20, 2005. Why do they make is so hard? Posted by cebii @ 11:31 AM. Monday, December 19, 2005. Holidays are not g...

cebii: August 2005
http://cebii.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 25, 2005. Sometimes the illusion of anonymity on the web is dangerous. Someone posted comments on Rosie's blog using the name "Kaia Rose," which of course is my daughter. She didn't post those comments, because she was in school, then with Holly while most of them were posted. She takes an opposite stance to the commentor, and she would probably gladly debate that person (She is quite well spoken). Posted by cebii @ 11:35 AM. Tuesday, August 23, 2005. Just wanted to brag. It is very diff...

Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Holly's going to bring the twins over in an hour or so. She has a meeting at one of the kid's schools and can't take the babies. I will bring them up to my office and let them play with my coworkers for a few minutes, then take them out and try to figure out something else to do with them. It's beautiful outside. Maybe I'll get a coworker to help me corral them in the lawn of my building. It's big and grassy and will probably be very nice. Posted by cebii @ 6:15 AM. The miniva...

cebii: July 2005
http://cebii.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 29, 2005. Lots of excitement today. We are taking girl for a visit to see if she fits in our family. K and S aren't too happy about it. They like the status quo. But, this girl, from all accounts, is academic, easy going and gay, all of which pull our (Holly's and my) heart strings. Holly bribed K to be neutral. S is usually pretty nice to new kids. Posted by cebii @ 1:07 PM. Tuesday, July 26, 2005. Posted by cebii @ 12:44 PM. Monday, July 25, 2005. Way to make my morning. :-). It's been a l...

cebii: November 2005
http://cebii.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. We got back from Hawaii at 11:30 Sunday night. Everyone was exhausted. We took the girls to see the rocky remnants of lava flows - acre upon acre of volcanic rock. We went to a luau. A thousand people. A pig roasted in the ground. Poi. Hula dancers and fire dancers. Mai Tais. M was among the audience members chosen to dance on stage with the dancers. She loved it and did a great job. All in all, it was a good trip. Posted by cebii @ 7:48 AM. Tuesday, November 15, 2005. On ni...

Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Posted by cebii @ 12:14 PM. In my previous post, I mentioned that we were waiting for S's inevitable crash. We still are. I still expect it to come, but am more than thrilled that she has kept it together for this long. Yesterday on the drive home from school, she and I had a great discussion about two different topics - why she isn't attracting potential girlfriends and the Anti-gay marriage ammendment on the 11/8 ballot in Texas. These moments make me glow with pride. As we...
