		<description><![CDATA[I wish I had done these type of summaries more often&#8230; Recently, trying to put together Joaquin&#8217;s full developmental history for the psychologist working on his evaluation, I realized how valuable it was to have the few posts I wrote, along with some of the little stories I&#8217;ve shared on flickr. Now that things have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can&#8217;t imagine how many times I&#8217;ve sat down to write this first post during all these weeks of silence. Some times I&#8217;ve failed because there&#8217;s so much to tell. Other times I&#8217;ve failed because I&#8217;m in the wrong mood to write it. The rest of the times I&#8217;ve failed because I&#8217;m afraid of labeling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After several resolutions that never stuck enough to make a difference, early this year, Joey finally made a personal commitment to lose weight. People ask me if I was the one that pushed him, and the answer is no; many years ago I did try to persuade him, but of course it didn&#8217;t work. As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remembering the satisfaction I got from making Joaquin&#8217;s pirate costume last year, it was kind of implied that this Halloween he would wear a mommy-made costume again. So after a short talk with Joey, we decided that the only requirement for this year&#8217;s character would be to include a mustache, just because we loved last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interrupting my recent rampage of jewelry making projects, about a week ago I discovered with horror that Joaquin&#8217;s cow sleep sack has become too tight for his 19–month–old growing legs. As I free Kiki out of it and the crib, I tell him about the problem&#8230; Sozo doesn&#8217;t make any bigger sizes of their adorable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years, age started beating poor Siege really hard. Every year she&#8217;d get sick and the hospital bill would often be around $1,500. It was clear that we needed to replace her, but we don&#8217;t like change&#8230; And with Joey still in school, we didn&#8217;t feel it was prudent to do it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being faithful to my plans from last weekend, yesterday I used my day off to hand print some fabric in my kitchen. I only got four prints, which is a little disappointing considering all the time it took to prepare for the printing session, set up the work area, and then clean up everything. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been almost two weeks since I was given the names and numbers of five 12–year–old girls who live in the neighborhood and perhaps could babysit Joaquin. Despite a recent horrible day of depression and swearing that I will NOT have a second child, I haven&#8217;t called one of those girls yet. Joey asks me [...]]]></description>
