Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
You know you’re the mom to more than one young child when: 1. You have memorized the location of every drive-thru Starbucks within a 60 mile radius (or drive-thru anything for that matter, getting in and out of the car more than once per outing is not an option). 2. You never park next to […]
My daughter’s pajamas are too small. So are my son’s. Oh, and the babies are getting snug too. Pajamas these days are not too expensive and I even have boxes full of hand-me-downs waiting for my youngest, but for some reason, going up a size tugs at my heart. I put off the transition as […]
I imagine our potty training experience thus far to be something like a trip to the Winter Olympics. We trained for months. I poured over books and websites, bought underwear of every character and color of the rainbow and shamelessly grilled every parent of a child who was not walking around with a diaper bulging […]
Finally it is my turn! I have been chomping at the binky to write to you Daddy but Mommy has been hogging up this place for days. I wanted to tell you I’m a man now Daddy. It all started the other day on the way to Mommy’s teeth time. ‘Member when you called at […]
It seems all members of my household are on some sort of never ending Crazybus ride. Let me give you a few “heard around our house this week” quotes to illustrate: Setting 1: Changing Sawyer on main floor, the Crazies are upstairs and quiet. Me- Guys… what are you doing? (If you don’t know it […]
I have discovered that there might be a thing or two that goes on in my family that is a bit to the left of “normal.” (I may have known this all along but somedays it is glaringly obvious.) Have you ever had one of those moments when you look at the goings-on of your […]
Well, just when I thought we were snowed in for good and the most exciting thing I would have to tell you was what a blast it was watching Parker plug the bathtub faucet with a shampoo cap making baths a no-go until Mommy finds the pliers, the snow stopped, Mommy took us to the […]
Well another day, another drama. Today we ended up in the one place that mom has been dreading since… well…. I don’t know since when, but this is the one place she had nightmares about. The potty room. The big kind, with the walls and the doors, and lots of potties in a place that […]
We had a completely stereotypical weekend-in-December-with-little-ones and I loved every minute. Since the kids were micro-preemies, this is the first year we are able to break out of the house and enjoy all of those germ infested activities we have avoided like the plague for the last three years. Now we are free to explore […]
This weekend I made a trip to Buy Buy Baby (my favorite baby store that makes me want to have one more just so that I can keep shopping there) to see if I could find the next level of toddler-proofing devices. At this point I am thinking we need wire fences, steel locks and […]
