if you're a parent in america the start of the new year means it is, unbelievably, time to begin work once again on the unsolvable logic puzzle that is summer childcare

[Eileen Reynolds @eileenybean]

now that we're back in NYC after a week in Florida my kindergartener is telling everyone key lime is his favorite thanksgiving pie and my toddler is pointing out every "dawg" on the street in a southern accent and really i could not be more pleased with these developments
