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 face [...]
The Conversationalist
I am starting to wonder if there will ever be peace and quiet in my house ever again? Between Wyatt’s constant talking and Brooklyn’s continuous screaming, it sometimes feels like my head is about to explode. Sometimes, just sometimes, I look forward to Monday mornings.
Pink or Blue?
We have never found out the sex of our babies. Chris has always been very persistent on this. “There are too few surprises in life. This is one of the big ones!” I have just come to accept the fact that we will wait to find out until the doctor holds up the baby and makes that BIG announcement. [...]
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 piece [...]
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 lips) [...]
Can You Not Be So Bossy?
Is it just my kid, or are all three year old’s kinda bossy? Because Wyatt is now able to hold full conversations with us, I think he might feel, well, a bit entitled. See, the speech delay thing was hard on all of us – mostly Wyatt. He had behavior problems, was “asked to leave” [...]
I know I’ve been absent….
So, long-time-no-blog, huh? TEN DAYS? IT’S A RECORD! Let’s just say, a week of the stomach flu, a long weekend at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and now, no daycare for a week have taken their toll on the family. ANYWHOO…..
Speaking of the stomach flu and puke…. The last time Wyatt threw up we had [...]
Momfinition – the art of talking with your kids
Since I started blogging, I have also become obsessed with reading other mom-blogs. As you know, I never do anything in moderation. Full boar into blogging I am! So in my endless hours of blog reading, I ran across this fun contest that I thought I’d participate in. The people at ParentsConnect.com are challenging us [...]
What’d you just say?
A few short stories about my hilarious three year old and his mouth.
The other night I took the kids to a friend’s house for dinner. Wyatt was being his usual wild-self, and could barely sit still in his chair for dinner. In the process of his wiggling he managed to fall off [...]
Good Morning Sunshine!
Every morning when Wyatt wakes up, he starts talking/singing to himself. Softly at first, then louder, and louder. I usually let him do this for a while hoping he’ll decide to snooze a bit longer. Hasn’t happened yet, but I’m still hopeful every morning. Once he gets sick of talking to himself, he’ll start yelling [...]
