A wonderful comment at @medium from @drrayhealey about my new story there on seven parenting strategies of Bill Gates' mother:

"I worked at Forbes magazine for 17 years and read a lot about Gates, but your story was a revelation."

Writers live for comments like that!

How Bill Gates' Mother Helped Her Geeky Son Thrive: This remarkable woman often steals the show in "Source Code," the first volume of the memoirs of the Microsoft co-founder.

At @medium, I describe 7 of the strategies Mary Maxwell Gates used while raising young Bill. Hint: He'd never have been allowed to use his own software at their dinner table.

Had Kiddo's first parent-teacher meeting yesterday. Gotta say, I was impressed. Not only is kiddo doing substantially better than expected, given the Kindy experience, but also, it was strongly encouraged that she be there.

I really liked this, and so did she. The first question of the meeting was directed to kiddo and it was really nice seeing the rapport between her and her teacher and hearing all that positive feedback

It's a departure from how I know parent teacher meetings though! Is this the new norm? Is this normal in Aotearoa? Ireland? Elsewhere?

Curious to see, boosts welcome please

In #parenting: our child now appears to speak three words.

The newest one is a bit of an accident (by me) as it is a rebranding of our dog "Juno" into, and I quote, "Pffffffff" [with spit]. I kinda know what happened and it's a, uhm, lesson for the future.

Video with sound for an exact pronunciation. I'll be away for work for some days so it'll be interesting to see how @juliette fixes this.. 🙂 🐕

Ever since I got pregnant, I've rarely slept through the night. Even with medication I still wake up some time between 1-3am most nights. Sometimes I can get back to sleep relatively easily but there's still waking, checking the time, and sometimes not getting back to sleep for 2+ hours, or not at all. I've started to sleep a *bit* better the last few weeks, I'm hopeful I might be entering a new phase... but tonight, almost 4yo daughter crashed out very early, about 6pm, and then woke up around 1am and couldn't get back to sleep and kicked off me waking up properly... I have fruit tingles sometimes if my tummy isn't feeling good, but tonight I just ate some even though tummy was fine. 4yo noticed and got excited, and asked can we have a midnight feast 😂 so we are both eating candy. Bad mama!! Don't worry she'll brush her teeth before going back to sleep... this is the first time she's woken up fully in the middle of the night. I guess that's a milestone?

When we started on our adoption journey, the first agency we spoke to told us we’d be expected to attend three days of training. The agency we ended up choosing to go with asks you to attend five. We were happy to do so — any learning we can undertake puts us in a stronger position to be as ready as we can be to be parents. Here is a brief summary of each day.

The extinction of experience
The Human-Nature Relationships from 1800 to 2020

There is a "disappearance of natural words from books between 1800 and 2020, which peaked at a 60.6% decline in 1990...The modelling predicts an ongoing “extinction of experience” with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation” towards the natural world."
