monkeys and marbles

this weeks seems to have been working against me.  it’s been one thing after another.  and it continued today. i gave the boys a bath this morning….by myself.  i’ve never done that before, and for good reason.  they are a handful.  i figured i would wash them both and get Logan out first, leaving Zander [...]

That’s right….it’s after midnight, and I’m flying high….not because the Zander situation has suddenly and miraculously righted itself, although we have made progress. He didn’t have anything but a couple of spoonfuls of pureed fruit and some formula for lunch, but dinner was better. We put nothing pureed in front of him…just whole cooked veggies. [...]

Throw a Psychologist and a Consulting Pediatrician into the mix, and that’s about right. These are the people helping us with Zander’s eating problem, which is now being referred to (by the aforementioned medical professionals) as an eating disorder. Wow…amazing how an 8-letter word can be so fucking scary. Zander is now 26 months old…and [...]

I have been away from the Blogosphere for a bit. Actually, I pretty much dropped of the bloggy scene all together. In order to get everyone caught up, here is a list of what has transpired during my absence: My wonderful husband gave me 7 days of birthday….gifts every day for a week. Talk about [...]

In the words of Jenny of Absolutely Bananas fame, DOWN with Blogger! Up with WordPress! My mother wanted to print my tribute to my dad on our birthday so that he could read it. Such a simple request. But would Blogger oblige? Of course not. It prints the first page fine, but the next few [...]

Make that three pees….three pees in a potty. After rethinking our potty choice (upon closer inspection, the potty bench had some “features” that weren’t suitable for our boys), we decided upon this plain ol’ potty which was the one I had originally wanted anyway. Introducing the BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair It’s a great little potty chair. [...]

Happy Birthday to me (and my dad)!Happy Birthday to me (and my dad)!Happy Birthday dear Ca-ate (and Cate’s dad)!Happy Birthday to me (and my dad)! Yup…it’s my birthday today. But it’s also my dad’s birthday. Rather than bore you with yet another story about me (although I know you all l-o-v-e them…don’t deny it!), I [...]

It’s been a busy couple of months for birthdays, with Zander turning 2 in May and Logan turning 1 a couple of weeks ago. But today there is another Birthday Boy…my little brother. Yes, today is my brother Andrew’s 32nd birthday. I thought this would be the perfect day to tell my bloggy friends about [...]
