Sometimes when you’re being weighed down by some heavy grown-up struggles, you really just need a giggle to lighten the load. Kids are the perfect medium to give you such spontaneous giggles. Jeremy came in to the laundry room to find me and said “Mom, I need your help.” I follow him into my kitchen and saw… I asked Jeremy, “Why . . . → Read More: Snack Genius We’re playing a little game this week. It’s called “Starving Baby”. Usually Jesse will eat for a solid 10-15 minutes, unlatch, and we’ll pop him into his swing or highchair to hang out while I do stuff. Every now and then though, he’ll fall asleep but continue dream-feeding for a while. Normally I relish in the . . . → Read More: Jesse’s Game Jeremy is coming home in a few weeks and I, of course, can hardly wait. As I did a few months ago, I’ve started compiling my list of things to make sure we do while he’s here before he goes back to California again at the end of October.

I’ve got a list of chores and packing to finish up before I hop on a plane with a three-year old and an infant to take a trip across the country.

I was running late and needed to hurry out of the house. As it would happen, Jesse had been napping soundly but woke up hungry right when I had to leave. I didn’t have time to nurse him, much less pump . . . → Read More: Nursing Junky We’ve been telling Jeremy since yesterday afternoon that today we’d visit Jason’s work to see the airplanes and helicopters. This morning he came into our room half-asleep asking if today was when we’d see the “oticoters” and sit in the airplanes. “Yes kiddo. But first we have to get dressed, eat breakfast, and have lunch.” After breakfast Jeremy . . . → Read More: So Excited, He Passed Out Today was the first time I took both my boys out of the house by myself. Sure, this may not sound like a huge deal to some people, but it was a major milestone to me. This morning was a Mothers of Preschoolers meeting. I’m still new to the group but I didn’t want to miss it. . . . → Read More: First Time Mom-of-Two Well, as I reported in my last pregnancy update post I was getting rather impatient for the arrival of our little guy. We made it through April Fools’ Day without incident (although we really wanted to trick our friends on Facebook by reporting a surprise little girl had been born). At 1:40 am the morning of . . . → Read More: Jesse Alan has arrived! Not all boys are gross, but my preschooler definitely can be sometimes. I won’t go into the details of all of the yucky things he does, but one thing from this morning just HAS to be shared. Due to the way our house sits, the sun shines into Jeremy’s window first thing every morning before it reaches the . . . → Read More: Gross Things Boys Do  |
