Someone has stolen my child and given me a monkey in her place
Right now Brooklyn is at my least favorite “kid age”. Now, I’m sure this least favorite age will change once my children hit the preteens – or (shudder) the teenage years. But for now, I am very confident in saying that I’m not real fond of 13 month olds. Wyatt went through it too, now it’s Brooke’s [...]
All grown up. Kindof.
Next Tuesday, my little baby Brooklyn turns ONE!!! It’s hard to believe how fast this year has gone. I must say, girls and boys are definitely different. Or maybe it’s just my two kids, but boy are they different. Up to this point, Brooklyn…. STILL prefers I hold her bottle, she can do it, she [...]
I got a little lost for a while
So, I know, I know….I’ve been a little absent from the blog for a while. See, I kinda got obsessed with making bows. Yep, that’s right. Making bows. I signed up for two local craft shows in December and was STRESSED to the max that I would not have enough product. Well, turns out, I [...]
The Cage…..It’s BAAAAACCCCKK!
I often read questions online like, What do I do with my active baby/toddler when I want to take a shower? Or do dishes? Or start dinner? The answer is simple people. Get a cage. Yes, a cage. Or a playpen. Whatever. As Brooklyn is now EVERYWHERE, I finally broke down and dug out the [...]
I Might Be in Trouble with This One…
Wyatt has always been a very cautious child. It has only been recently that he has become even the teeniest tiniest bit daring. I’m talking he went down two steps without holding onto the railing. WOW. Oh yeah, and I did catch him scaling the treadmill the other day. It shocked me so much I [...]
Gone are the days
With Brooklyn’s nine month birthday just around the corner, I can’t help but feel a little like WHERE DID MY BABY GO? Am I really going to have two toddlers soon? Or better yet, a toddler and a big boy? When Wyatt turns four years old, I suppose I shouldn’t call him a toddler anymore. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Happy Birthday to you
Today, my baby turned 6 months old. It’s hard to believe, I feels like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. Even though I have tried to savor every minute with Brooklyn as an infant, I can’t help but feel like I missed it all. Is 6 months when you stop saying you have [...]
