He’s making a list….and checking it twice

“MOMMY! I WANT THAT ONE!”  Constantly.  It’s getting hard to take. I used to think it was kinda cute.  It’s a little much now.  So, I started telling him that he should, “add it to your Christmas list!”  To which I got the usual response, “Huh? What’s that you say?”  So I got out a [...]

New Baby Store on Etsy

Well, as if I didn’t have enough to do, I decided to open a little store on etsy.com.  If you have never visited this shop, it’s kind of like Ebay, but for handmade and vintage items.  So if you make it, you can sell it there.  Here’s a link to my shop, the Sunshine Shoppe.  [...]

Wonder-Boy-Genius

I really, really, really never wanted to be one of those moms who brags about how smart her child is, then when you look over at her kid, he is sitting in a pile of dirt eating boogers.  I really don’t want to be her.  But I have to say it.  I think Wyatt might [...]

Here we go again….

Well, it’s official. Wyatt is getting kicked out of his 3rd school/daycare.  Only this time – wait for it – it’s because he’s TOO GOOD!!  Wyatt started in BECEP last winter when he turned three due to speech impairment and , um, behavior issues.  His new teachers this fall really haven’t had any problems with [...]

I will probably have to hide this post when Wyatt turns 15

I know that as kids get older, the stuff that comes out of their mouth gets more and more hilarious, but I couldn’t help posting these funny Wyatt stories. Set the scene: Wyatt is strapped in his car seat and I can not resist giving him a kiss…. MOM: (Giving Wyatt a huge smooch on [...]

The better to eat you with my dear…

Yep.  Brooklyn’s got her first tooth.  I came home from a weekend away scrapbooking and when I saw her for the first time, she gave me a giant grin.  Something white gleamed back at me.  What’s that? I ask.  Brooklyn has a tooth!  Did you know she has a tooth? I ask Chris, as if [...]

Green Bay Land

I think I may have finally recovered from our vacation to Green Bay.  Brooklyn and I returned home on Tuesday and my suitcase was actually unpacked by Thursday night. It’s a record for me!  Chris has been finishing up the laundry that accumulates on vacation this weekend and now all I have left to do [...]

I’ve Never Wanted to Jump Out of a Plane Before

Let me just start by saying that traveling with children can be an interesting experience.  We took Wyatt on his first plane ride when he was about six months old.  Our pediatrician had recommended giving him a little Benadryl before the flight, so we did.  It was great. He fell asleep each time the airplane [...]

Mini Me

I guess the title of this should be “Mini Chris”.  Just like all three year old boys around the country, Wyatt loves, loves LOVES his dad.  If we are driving and I am on the cell with him, Wyatt screams I talk-a-daddy! until I give up my phone rights.  When I pick him up from [...]

Neurotic Mama

Yesterday was Wyatt’s first day of preschool (again). All summer long he was asking when school would be open again. I got funny looks when I replied two months. Once we got down to weeks and days, he seemed to catch on a bit more. School’s open TOMORROW???? Needless to say he was pretty excited [...]
