Its questionable that my one year old is unaware of his ability to bite. He does not bite his favorite mommy parts, but he will unleash his jaw power on anything and any one else. “Ouch!” can be heard from any given family member at any time so long as he is around.
He just bit [...]

We’ve all been able to watch our children interact with other kids. We’re proud when they are generous. Our heart warms when they are kind. We gain confidence in our parenting skills when they show compassion. We don’t want to see our child being the push over or the bullied. We want our children to [...]
Celebrating a half decade of life.

I wasn’t even paying attention. These past 18 months, I was so lost in the haze of being pregnant and then taking care of a newborn that I hardly noticed my little girl grew into my big girl. I knew it was happening. Like a jerk, I didn’t even look up. She was the picture [...]
My son loves me <- this much ->

My little bouncing baby boy was so happy to be in my arms after whine-crying for me to pick him up, he squirted out a whole muddy puddle of poo onto my shirt.
In reaction, I wiped it off with a baby wipe, folded my shirt up as to not touch the spot, and sat down [...]
It’s always the Parent’s Fault

The report from the baby’s doctor appointment yesterday is that his weight is down from the 50th to the 15th percentile. We need to go back in a month for a check up to make sure there are no problems causing the decline in weight gain. No big deal, right? No, because the baby has [...]
Reaching new heights all the time

This morning, while readying her for school I heard my daughter quickly tell me to take a shower, but in the mix of things I didn’t make much note of it. It wasn’t until later when she yelled, “Take a shower! You smell!” that I realized she’d been keeping a safe distance from me all [...]
Simple Tasks

I sat on the sofa and could feel that stupid pile of dirty clothes staring at me. It’s either the stare or the smell that was getting my attention, but we’ll go with the stare for the sake of this edge of your seat story.
So it was me and the staring clothes pile. I started [...]
Lies! Our No School Day
Posted by lovemedaily on February 26th, 2010
I love watching the snow fall outside my window at night. It hasn’t snowed a lot in the city this winter, so I can greet this storm with a smile instead of beaming contempt.
It’s been snowing all day. This morning, it was the heavy, rainy stuff that created dirty slush all over the ground. Not [...]

This is what bad parenting looks like. The other day, I was cooking dinner when the baby crawled to the oven and tried to open the bottom door. I panicked because our gas oven was on so I snapped the door shut. He immediately started crying as he does every time we block his intentions. [...]
