In an effort to clean up my language and get back into the good graces of the DDR Police, I’m going to try really really hard to be 2-legit-2-quit over here. (Or at least curse in code.)
My last post was over a month ago but I feel like I’ve been gone for twelve years. I [...]

Hapa Chameleon
Ever since the twins were born, G and I have had an ongoing debate; he has always thought that they look pretty white while I’ve been of the opinion that they look distinctly Asian. For almost three years we have debated this issue and each time it comes up, we are both incredulous at the [...]

Desperately Seeking Attention and Ass Wiping Advice
How often do you tell your kid(s) that they’ve done a great job, or are ‘special?’ According to this article, ‘College Students Think They’re So Special,’ we are raising kids who are narcissistic and becoming part of ‘Generation Me.’ I found one quote particularly interesting: “Current technology fuels the increase in narcissism,” … “By its [...]

Potty Training (Part Deuce)
G worked from home on Friday and has tomorrow off for the holiday, so we decided to take advantage of these extra two days and share this very enjoyable parental task: potty training.
Sweet Jesus, I’m exhausted. As I’ve indicated before, we hadn’t really gotten into this process quite yet. And there’s a good reason why [...]

Agent Pear
My kids love them some Asian pears. At their tol (the traditional Korean first birthday party), Buddy locked in on those pears as soon as they were placed on the table. The party hadn’t started yet so my uncle tried multiple times to keep the pears away from him, to no avail. Buddy would just [...]

Night-Night
Every night, the kids give this picture a kiss and say, “Night-night, Halmoni.” It’s one of my favorite photos of my parents. It is one of the few pictures I have of them when they were younger, just starting their lives together. I love that blond girl in the picture with them, although I have [...]

Save the Smell, Save the World.
I have a crazy sick sense of smell. G tells me I am a bloodhound. Other than using it to sniff out delicious foods from a distance, this abnormality is a pain in the ass. Yes, the aromas are nice; unfortunately, I mostly smell odors. Wretched, foul odors that make me gag. I can smell [...]

Elmo DooDooRags
Here is where we stand in our efforts to potty-train:
Welcome to Elmo’s House of Style.
I came home yesterday to find the kids running around upstairs, squealing with laughter and sporting Elmo underwear on their heads. Our babysitter was holding them up to the bathroom mirror so they could admire their latest accessories. T (the sitter) [...]

Bean’s Belly
Last week Bean came up to me and said, “Look Mommy, [Bean's] belly!” In her hands she had two wooden balloons from one of their puzzles. The balloons have little knobs on them, and she was holding them over her chest. Poor child is so confused.
She has become more fascinated with my ‘balloons’ and tries [...]

Monet & Manet
These pictures were from over a month ago. But I thought I would post the pictures now that I’ve calmed down a bit about it.
It was my own fault. I was so proud of the kids as I sat in the kitchen, having a snack and reading some self-indulgent celebrity magazine. I listened as they [...]
