A personal blog, named in honor of the novel Petticoat Government by a favorite author, Emma Orczy. The novel is about a fictional woman, Lydie d'Aumont, who attempts to inject some fairness and good governance into the court of France's Louis XVth despite the corruption and selfishness there.

Milestones, Smilestones
Tonight dd2 had fun jumping around for a while. At one point, she two-foot-jumped six times in a row before her movement became a run-gallop. According to this PBS website, that's a developmental milestone typically reached by a 4 to 5 year old child. Should I sign dd2 up for sports lessons right now?? Just kidding. "Developmental milestones" shouldn't cause a parent to damage a toddler's love of movement. Besides, what coach will take on a child who hasn't given up diapers yet?
