I think it’s catch up time
Wow – it’s been a LONG time since I have had a second to breath to catch up on the blog! So much has happened since little Easton came home, I don’t even know where to start…… Baby Easton He had a rough couple (10) weeks. About two weeks after he was born (maybe even [...]
I Sense a Change Coming….
This morning I slept in until 8 am – it was so wonderful. When I woke up I felt refreshed and glorious. Then I attempted to roll my 9 month pregnant belly out of bed and didn’t feel so refreshed anymore. It then occurred to me that sleeping in, although a rarity as is, will [...]
Neither Here Nor There…..
A few blurbs about what has been going on here at the Hustad’s recently, since I have not had the time or energy to write a full post lately! This morning while driving to school from swimming lessons Wyatt said to me, MOM! You haven’t given me a hug yet today! This was true, and I [...]
Here Comes Trouble
I think my tough little cookie might be getting too tough. I got word from daycare this week that Brooklyn is having to be separated from the other kids at times.
The Cure-All
I love the seeing the world through the eyes of a four-year-old. In Wyatt’s world, a new car costs EIGHTY-NINE DOLLARS! So does a new lego set. Wyatt has become a little money-obsessed and wants to know what everything costs. I try to tell him the truth, or at least estimate to my best ability (which, let’s [...]
What Happened Here?
I wonder where things went wrong. It used to be, when it was bedtime, we would tuck Wyatt in for the night and not hear a peep out of him for 13 hours. This is the stage we are at with Brooklyn right now. Around seven-o-clock she sees her night-night bottle being made and heads down the [...]
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 [...]
The Story About the Ring
The other night, I was bathing both kids in the tub, one of our favorite times of the night. A favorite time for me, because it means bedtime is nearing, and a favorite time for the kids because they love playing in the tub. Wyatt loves dumping every toy imaginable in the water, and Brooklyn [...]
He Sleeps with a Teddy Bear
Every time we start a new daycare/preschool there are these long forms you need to fill out. (We should have this memorized by now!) Three pages long. And it’s the same everywhere, so it must be a universal form to torture parents. There are some sections of it that always make me chuckle when I [...]
Ferberizing… take three
I know everyone is dying to know how the ferberizing is going. Here’s a summary… Night one: Brooklyn woke up around 2:30 – pretty typical. I let her cry the standard 10 minutes, then went in, reassured her and left the room. Screams followed me out. My heart broke a bit, but I tried to [...]
