Dear Tristan - 3 Years, 8 Months

Dear Tristan,
When we went to the Matthews Sandy Feet Festival you were finally tall enough to ride some of the rides. We put you in the swings that spin in a circle and it was all I could do not to have a panic attack. You're so LITTLE. And so HIGH UP. And so FAR away from Mommy. What if you got scared and uncliped yourself. My legs were tense, coiled. Ready to run and catch if I needed to. I was suddenly thankful that Daddy's been running sprints at the gym. You didn't fall. You didn't unclip yourself. You didn't look nervous. Turns out the only one that was terrified was me. As usual.



You are so tall that on Wednesday when you went on a field trip with Connor's Pre-K class I noticed that you were as tall as about half of the class. Sadly, it means that it won't be long before I can no longer recycle Connor's clothes, passing them down to you. By the time that happens though, I'm sure you'll be just fine with having new clothes of your own. Or maybe you'll go through such a fast and furious spurt that we'll pass your clothes down to him. I'm sure he'll just LOVE that.



It's going to be an amazing Summer for you. You are finally tall enough to ride the rides and old enough to go all day without having to nap. That doesn't mean we can tolerate you in the evenings when you're run ragged and napless, but it's getting easier. We are going to start swimming lessons for you and I'm so excited that finally you will be old enough to take a class on your own instead of watching your brother on the sidelines. You've been watching brother do, whether it be swimming, gymnastics or trial karate classes. I can't wait for you to have a chance to develop your own talents. I can't wait to watch you shine.
I love you,
Ama

SO Happy!

After simply dropping the files that were missing from blogger into the root folder, all of my images are back! *Deep sigh of relief here* No relinking! Now I can get back to designing and tweaking and writing.

Why?

Why?! Why is WP putting my posts in Times New Roman when I can't find any reference at all to TNRoman in the CSS?! WHY?!?! Surely I'll not have to change the html code each time I post. Surely.

Overhaul

We Jorma tried rerouting the cname dohiggies as the blogger tutorial told us to. Did not work. I called the hosting company and they tried something from their end. Did not work. My hope was to temporarily fix the missing images problem. Long enough to move into Wordpress so I could avoid relinking all of the images in the blog. Did not work. It looks like now I'm stuck relinking all of my images manually, but at least I'm not relinking AND copying and pasting all of my files from my HTML back up, recatagorizing and redating everything. That would suck so much worse.
I moved over to WordPress because I'm mad at Blogger. And because I wanted to have more control over my site. The only problem with this is that I was so desperate to get away from blogger and try to reclaim the blog that I jumped into WP without having any idea how it works. Sink or swim, baby.
I have wordpress questions. Most of them I am figuring out as I go along, but I think the answer to a lot of them is going to be something that I'm not going to like. Something like learn CSS and edit the files manually. In all my spare time.
Seriously, this application has spellcheck for 12 different languages but I can't change my font unless I edit the CSS? That can't be right. And what's up with the little Mystery Man icon next to all of my posts? I don't need that because I'm the sole author and I can't find the place that has the little check box to remove it. Shouldn't there be one? Granted I've only been at this for two days and am trying to work on it during preschool hours and while the kids are sleeping. I don't think the learning curve is really that steep, but it's still daunting to say the least.
Hopefully, I'll be gracing you all with my snarky commentary soon.

Still Trying

We are still trying to get the FTP situation fixed. I'm giving it 48 hours for the DNS server to repopulate with the changes that the tech support guy made and if that doesn't work, well, it's going to be overhaul time.
I'm ready either way. There's stuffs that I want to write about and pictures that I need to post and well, because although I don't blog nearly as much as I'd like to, now that the blog isn't working correctly, all I want to do is post something.

Ok, now since we've switched all of the CNET names the rest of my site is down. Hopefully we'll be up and running again soon. Please bear with us during this time of confusion.
