Merry Christmas!
Sunday, December 25th, 2005It’s been a rather anti-climatic morning, without Samuel here. Baby Allan chewed on his new plastic blocks, and loved (and chewed) on his new German Shephard puppy dog (stuffed!). And he tried to eat the paper on the one present we gave to him. We only opened the one present, because it was his church [...]
Merry Christmas Eve!
Saturday, December 24th, 2005It’s been a mostly relaxing day around here. Except for the contagious excitement of the three year old! He was literally jumping up and down all around the house today. He’s a pretty active kid, given to jumping on a regular basis, but today’s jumping was WAY more than usual. He left at 4:30 to [...]
Do most parenting issues revolve around sleep??
Saturday, December 17th, 2005I need to find a new topic of conversation, I know… but most of my “issues” in life revolve around the topic of sleep! Either I’m not getting enough, the baby is not getting enough, Samuel is not getting enough, or all of the above! Lately, it’s the latter. Baby is staying up till all [...]
Humble Pie… and Why I Dislike Naptime…
Monday, December 12th, 2005Humility – my new best friend.
Lately, things with Samuel have been a bit “tough”. He is getting closer to turning 4, and he is bound and determined to become independent RIGHT NOW! Every day, he pushes my buttons and finds new ways to make himself a contender for the “Most Annoyingly Independent, Charmingly Spastic and [...]
It’s 2 a.m., and the baby is still awake…
Sunday, December 11th, 2005I think he’s down for the night, finally… but I also thought that at 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. and 12 a.m., and 1 a.m. We’ll see if 2 a.m. is the magic sleeping hour tonight. We were just starting to get confident and happy about Allan’s night-time sleeping habits, so he decided to throw [...]
Names and Privacy…and stuff
Friday, December 9th, 2005I made a decision recently that trying to “mask” my children’s names on my blog was rather silly, since they both have websites devoted to them and their pictures and antics. (Email me if you’d like the links to those sites).
So, in case you haven’t caught it, 3 year old is Samuel, and baby is [...]
Oedipal complex…
Friday, December 9th, 2005My three year old son and I were sitting on the couch talking about who knows what the other day, with hubby. Somehow the topic of weddings came up. Samuel knows about weddings, since he’s had the opportunity to be two in the last two years. (That’s a post for another time!) So, he was [...]
Scrapbookin’
Monday, December 5th, 2005So, I think I’ve got the scrapbookin’ bug! My sister has had it for quite awhile now – since her first son was born six years ago. I’ve had the desire for awhile, but life and circumstances have kept me from really getting INTO it before now. Well, I spent a little [...]
