I'm back to blogging consistently, aiming for a post every Thursday. (Thanks, @gcouros)

The last two weeks felt like an accomplishment. But this week was more of a tiny party on the keyboard.

I'm writing an "about me" section for a new site I'm joining. Everyone else includes their Twitter handle, so I guess I should, too. But when I came over here to dust things off, I thought, "If I add my handle, I should at least update the feed."

So, hi.

Parent procrastination is waiting until you see baby playing with the camera to decide it's finally time to move it father away.

Our second awake window today consisted of climbing onto any surface we could find, surfing from one piece of furniture to the next, and trying to find Spot again. Surprise, surprise, he was in the basket!

Sending tweets out there for no reason feels like a productive thing to do while baby naps. Better than writing progress reports, for sure!

[Ana Valentina Patton @AnaValen]

Is staring into a void instead of doing productive stuff while baby naps an acceptable thing to do?

[Ana Valentina Patton @AnaValen]

Shouldn't just leave it there.
What else can I tweet? (Can I still call it that?)
Oh, I had a baby almost a year ago. She's amazing and sings in her sleep.

I might as well treat this as I did in 2008.

There is a special place in my heart for interactive read-aloud. The one ⁦@christy_curran⁩ taught me. The one I never want to stop planning and doing. https://t.co/jxIOcSvwsa

Somehow I started writing about a rooster near my building, and this post came to be.

@sahelsteve @AuthorsAbroad_ I just purchased The Ancient Sleepover; looking forward to it! I'd also love to have you talk to my 4th graders about creative writing. I'll bring the idea to my team and message you soon! 🙌🏼

[Ana Valentina Patton @AnaValen]

@pandacucho We'll see. For now, deep cleaning and keeping the notifications off.
