Baby Blues Part II

Although I wrote how much I wanted to embrace my children’s days as babies, however honest, but shallow, I can’t wait until they outgrow certain habits and ways of the early stages of their lives.

Baby Blues

I have a difficult time accepting their growth and their changes because there is a part of me that just wants to keep them cradled in my arms. I want them always to be my babies, and I just don’t know how to let go.

Tips on Finding Childcare

Most of the time I’m trying to figure out things that seem so simple in a two-parent home, like how to take garbage to the dumpster, but in my case, I have to worry about how to accomplish such a task without leaving my children alone.

Vaseline helped even the chiziest of kids. There was a reason I was greased up with Vaseline when I was a child. I remember sweating underneath a thick layer of the grayish goo — it makes me laugh thinking about it.

My Children's Umbilical Cords

I’d like to bury my children’s umbilical cords in a place of significance. I imagine all the modest and special places that many Diné children’s cords have been buried, over hundreds of years, since it is said that Diné life commences from the beginning of time.

Emma's Home

Although she did not know how to articulate this new place, she knew this was ours, for now, and she happily took ownership of what she instinctively knew was her room.
