Some things, like washing dishes or weeding, can be done using only half a brain. I’ve really come to appreciate that since becoming a mommy. Partly, this is because I often only have half a brain to spare, but that was true before baby, too. What really brought this home for me was having a psychic baby.

I used to think of watching TV as a sedentary activity. I guess it is for a lot of people. Not for my daughter, though. She wiggles, tumbles and hangs upside-down.

“Can I have a marshmallow?” asked my daughter. Maybe I hadn’t had my coffee yet, I’m not sure. Or maybe I was in a hurry to get out the door. Whatever the case, I just couldn’t think straight, and I knew it. So I replied, “Ask your dad.”

I could not write fast enough to keep up with the action. My hand started to hurt, and my penmanship was atrocious. I would have to rewrite or type it up later so my professor would be able to read it. But for now, I just needed to get it all down and, to be honest, I hadn’t expected to need to hustle like this, or I might have bothered to find a better pen.
In parenting, sometimes it’s expertise vs. intuition

I don’t know if you’ve experienced this, but I’ve had these disconcerting parenting moments where the experts (books, other parents, pediatricians) are saying one thing, but my intuition and my child are saying another. Oh sure, I’d like to say that I trust myself enough just to go with my gut, but that’s just not always the case. One early instance of this involved my baby and solid food.

I took a seat and pulled out the concert program to see when my daughter would be performing. She was 5 years old, and this was her first violin recital. She would be playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” and then her daddy would join her on guitar for a duet. Looking down the long list student/performers, I took note that she would be the third to play. The room was filling up when my husband leaned in next to me and whispered, “I have to run home.
