Dear E, Today you are two years old. As I begin to write this, it’s 9:27 p.m., which means that at this time two years ago, you were four minutes old. I knew right away that the 45 hours of pain I’d just finished were well worth it, and I feel that way more than…

Toddler Tracks: Recent Quotes and Conversations
Here are some examples of sentences and conversations I’ve collected from my son over the last couple of months. You’ll notice that some of them seem quite random, while some of them show just how much he’s paying attention to things… * Standing all wobbly on this bed, arms out for balance, grinning, still wearing…
Toddler Tracks: BEST SENTENCE EVER
There’s a big toddler update coming, since our kid is constantly saying and doing things that make us laugh and raise our eyebrows… but I simply had to come and post this tidbit before my spacey pregnant brain lets it go. A wee bit of background: over the past weekend, we finally found a bribe…
Toddler Tracks: Letters, Words, and Sentences
I didn’t know E could sing the alphabet song until he suddenly sang it for me the other day. Well, truth be told, it’s a pretty loose approximation, but (being his mom) I was still impressed. Apparently between Daddy singing it with him and the talking alphabet toy at day care, he’s picked up quite…
Back to “Normal”
For those of you who don’t yet know, E’s cast is now off – it was only on for 5 days. The orthopedist looked at the leg and determined it was soft-tissue damage only. Just as well to have immobilized it for a while, so E could get around without making it worse. Here are…
March Break Madness: more blogscuses
Well, I think this clinches it. When asked how my March break was, I can firmly say that it was un-relaxing. I can’t say that it was completely un-fun, although much of it was. Both of my boys on drugs – the little one for pneumonia, the big one for bronchitis and sinusitis. Not very…
Just a few reasons I love my hubby
I know I missed Valentine’s Day blogging this year, but I figure any day is a good day to write a tribute to someone you love. This one is about my Hubbibi. He is: snuggly warm and generous (to the extent that he always lets me warm my cold feet on him in bed –…
The Cool Kid
Here’s my photo worth a thousand words today. I guess some good CAN come of my toddler deciding to peruse my junk drawer. P.S. Doesn’t he look like the kind of ruffian kid who would play the dice? He was entertained for a good half-hour this morning playing with our Yahtzee dice-in-a-cup. ***
Toddler Tracks: Vocabularrific
This kid says so many things that make us laugh, on a daily basis, that we can’t possibly keep track of them all. Some are only funny because we’re his parents and we dig everything he does. (Like, for example, a few minutes ago he called out from his bed, where he’s been procrastinating about…
Bedtime Stalling Techniques
Folks, I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. I’ve been feeling overpowered by life: among other things, reading The Hunger Games and finding that it consumed my brain to the extent that I was afraid to start the next book for fear of falling off the planet, AND now, report cards. I’m rather behind on…
