Rain, Rain, Go Away
I don’t know how it’s going in the rest of the country, but here in the Northeast it feels like it has been raining forever. I think we’ve easily had rain almost every day for over a month. Don’t get me wrong, rain is good. Plants need rain, yada, yada. But, for a mom home […]
Love-Dovey
I was concerned about Bug’s (aka Little Guy) reaction to getting a new baby sister. He was used to being the center of the attention and all that, plus, he was pretty young when she was born (20 months). She’s 8 months old now and he has been the most loving older […]
Am I Crazy?
So, tomorrow I set off for Maine with my two kids and my 10-year-old niece. It’s just over 2 hours away and I’m a bit concerned that the car ride is going to be a nightmare. The doting grandparents will be on hand at the other end to help out, but I am a bit […]
Can we post it? Yes we can!
Raising kids has brought the question of nature vs. nurture to the forefront of my mind. I definitely have been trying to be aware of the toys, media, etc., my kids are exposed to. I’m learning that it’s nearly impossible, because even at 21 months, Little Guy is highly influenced by his grandparents (over whom […]
New addition
I am back yet again, this time with a new baby girl! I had forgotten what a newborn is like… always eating and sleeping and eating and eating. It’s funny because now that I have a toddler, the newborn seems like a piece of cake. Sure, she’s a diva who doesn’t want to be put […]
P.S.
Little Guy is finally walking. We can all breathe a sigh of relief because he’s not so little any more and was getting too big to carry everywhere!
Under-qualification and smeary crayons
Little Guy has finally been qualified for Early Intervention. He’s always been kind of behind in his gross motor skills, but he wasn’t far enough behind to qualify for services to keep him from falling further behind. As a result, he has fallen further behind, so now they will provide services to help […]
Grrrr…
It’s decided… Little Guy is going to be a dragon for Halloween. Check out his super-cute costume:
It roars!
Scream
There are moments when your little darling, your bundle of joy, the reason you have for getting up every morning (lest they scream bloody murder) makes you want to jump off a tall, preferably rocky, cliff. We’re having more and more of those moments in our house. The fact is that we left […]
Wedding Bells Flying By
We’re heading off with tomorrow for Little Guy’s first plane ride. We’ve got a destination wedding in UT. It’s one of FOUR destination weddings we’ve been invited to this year. I am not a fan. I think that asking your friends and relatives to schlep half-way across the country for no […]
