I should just keep up better

I do much better if I keep up with things.

Owen has turned one and become a toddler-not-a-baby. I want to update this blog but I'm sort of stuck on where to start other than that he's strong and smart and cute and nice.

So I'll toss out "ask me anything", though I might break the answers into more than one post.

Please ask me anything you're remotely curious about (here, there, via email, etc.) with regard to Owen and his personality, development, our relationships with him; our relationships as a family with each other and the rest of the world; polyamory; whatever else. I'll use them, with gratitude, as a launch pad.

Do you and Audrey have different "Mom" names? I think you said earlier that you'd let that evolve naturally, but has it?

I'd also be curious about how your parenting role is different from how you planned or imagined it would be.

I would like to second this question, because my mother wants to know what we should all be called in reference to my impending baby and we are not quite sure yet because we don't know what's going to be easily distinguishable in practice (or whether context will take care of it and "easily distinguishable" is unnecessary). I'm not all that fussed about it, but not having clear instructions seems to be stressing her out.

Seconded.
