So, my 5yo fashionista decided last night what she was going to wear for her class pictures today. Â And I hated it. Â It’s a cute little seersucker yellow sundress with embroidered flowers on the front. Â (And now all my friends know why I hated it.) Â I tried desperately to get her to wear her adorable [...]

Normally I don’t try to wax eloquent on philosophical matters (probably because I’m usually so distracted by the poopy bottoms, crayons on the floor, and the leaking sippy cup being carried across my carpet that I can’t really think all that deeply). Â But, this one has me really thinking, so I thought I’d share. Â And [...]

Then, Ethan (coming microscopically close to touching the poopy on his bottom): Â I don’t touch it. Thank GOD! Â Cuz that’s what I need. Â A poopy bottom [...]

I’m trying to make my 3 year old little boy a little more self-sufficient. And since he’s REFUSING to potty train right now (very frustrating), I’ve decided that he can learn how to get himself dressed at least. I seem to remember Kate being able to do that quite well by this age [...]

Heard at the dinner table… Kate to Ethan: “Don’t you even think about it, bro… I can see your wheels turning!” as she points to his head. Ethan, covering his forehead with his hands: “Don’t look at my circles!” Heard at a friend’s house during a thunderstorm… Pippi to her daddy downstairs after a loud thunder clap and [...]

We currently have a ‘baby pool’ set up in our backyard for the kiddos to play in. I say ‘baby pool’ in quotes because it’s not really very small - it’s actually 8 feet across and 18 inches deep. Hardly a pool for a baby. Nevertheless, the kids have been having [...]
