Today I overheard my neighbors complaining that my daughter was going to wander out of the gate one day. The latch on the gate is 5ft off the ground, dear daughter is 2.5 ft tall - there is absolutely nothing she can climb on to open the gate. As soon as my neighbor saw me she complained about...
We have been busy too! We are still enjoying spring like weather. Took the kids swimming for the first time this year over the weekend. My daughter was just as excited as I was - she remembers the pool from last year. We also got letters from some groups here in CA that have agreed to pay for...
Thanks. Hope everyone had a fun Mother's Day. My hubby made me breakfast in bed and my daughter and I went to a mother's daughter's tea at church. It was lots of fun. I made my daughter's hat and she won 2nd place for the decorated hat competition.
I grew up with Tv and I still enjoy tv but everyone at my house knows the real fun is outside! Both my kids are what my Nana would describe as Earth Children. They dig in the dirt, eat the dirt, and live for a good patch of mud. It blows my mind how fast they get dirty and it drives my husbands...
I'll pray for you - I can't imagine surgery on a baby. Glad to here he is done with casts though.
We are dealing with medical situations ourselves. My daughter was recently diagnosed to be completely deaf in 1 ear but because a man with a doctorate in Audiology at a university did the testing...
Roy (8 months) is officially crawling now and a fairly quick speed. My daughter Johanna (19 months) has been the resident terror - I mean helpful toddler for around 6 months months. She walks runs etc and helps with everything under the sun which most recently includes changing Roy's diaper if...
that is fantastic! Getting Babies to sleep through the night is such an achievement even when they have no medical problems at all. My son is 8 months and growth spurts seem to disturb his sleep pretty regularly.
Today the kids and I are going to a car show with my sister in law. Then we have a big family meeting because there was a lot of drama and fighting earlier this week because everyone is not communicating well. A "family" trip was planned 3 years ago and hubby and I were informed this week that...
It would bother me if my kids pretended to smoke. My hubby smokes but only at work or far away from the kids so I don't think they have ever seen it. I don't think you should be upset at her pretending the animals are fine. Little kids don't really understand death - she will understand more if...
Good morning everyone! My house has been up since 6 - Roy had a poopy and then fought his way through breakfast. He didn't want oatmeal - I served oatmeal anyway. You know normal parent-child dispute. Hows everyone else?
In CA people hunt boar/hogs too. In fact several of our cousins got some last fall.
My daughter is getting her 2 year molars and has been a bit of a pill. Today she has been hitting me and laughing so I have been lightly spanking her. Long story short my day has been filled with crocodile...
Johanna (child #1) loves to help unload the dishwasher.... 1 utensil at a time...and mommy can only unload the top rack... :/ I just hold on to the idea that her willingness to help is going to be such a huge asset one day. She is a very independent little girl - my husband says she reminds him...
My husband and I are planning 6 kids. We only have 2 right now and to be honest when the kids are particularly difficult we have "done" days where we are calling it quits all together. I still get nutty excited seeing bellies and new babies with other mommies. My hubby was kinda hoping that...
My daughter loves our birds. After shoes she immediately yells "Shicky shicky?" And wants to feed the chicks. She laughs when they scratch and peck. In general she is/was afraid of the fluffy babies. She likes them with feathers better
My daughter (just under 2) wants to wear shoes and only shoes. I have to trap her with my legs to do her hair. She is currently getting molars and has been quite the handful. My son is 8 months old and just a little sweetheart. He is trying to learn to crawl though so I know soon I'll be out of...
