I got to Monkey’s pre-school today in time to see him lying on his nap-mat gnawing on his shirt with his boots on the floor and his feet in the air. This mom = proud! Monkey catches sight of me, and the grin that splits his face leaves me in a sloppy puddle of mommy…
Do y’all remember when I told y’all how excited Monkey was to go on the “potty train”? No? Go refresh your memories.. I’ll wait. The Potty Train(ing) has been a spectacular, dare I say, monumental failure. He has no desire to ride the potty train, none whatsoever. sigh We are still rockin’ the diapers. Well…
When you have a piano, a yardstick and an imagination You’re welcome 😉
I often get asked why I have my camera bag with me wherever we go… Sometimes it’s to capture a memory that I didn’t even know was going to be made Sometimes it’s to capture the beauty of nature in unexpected ways Sometimes it’s to simply capture a moment But mostly… It’s because sometimes… there…
Do you know what happens when you have a full bottle of 2X concentrated tide, a full load of clothes and an unattended 2 year old Monkey? If you follow me on Twitter, you know that this is what happens: It takes you TWELVE cycles to get all the soap out of the clothes. sigh

New Title Courtesy of Casey because she’s awesome like that That face was not quite so happy last night. Last night that adorable face crumpled into screams the likes of which I’ve never heard before; sobbing, shuddering, convulsive screams of pain and terror. Last night at kickball practice Monkey’s two year old toes were attacked…
How we keep Monkey from visiting the neighbors without our knowledge. It is 6 ft off the ground 😉
The rhythm of my heart echoes the pitter patter of these little feet
“I big boy Mom” That’s what my 2 year old Little Monkey told me when we were on the boat. “I a big boy”, he told me again, his chest puffed up with pride over his real Batman fishing pole that he was gripping tightly in his chubby little fists, the line dangling into the…
” I’ve Been Watching You Dad…. I Wanna Do Everything You Do” One of my favorite songs is “Watching You” by Rodney Atkins, it’s a fun, sweet song and it rings so so true. Our children see everything we do and they want to do everything we do. Our children, especially when they’re young are…
Such a cute little face, right? That cute face, is his biggest weapon of mass deception. He, is a devious toddler genius. Our latest escapade: Monkey: “Mom, I be right back. You stay here” This is said to me as he’s pushing a chair across the house into the foyer. Me: “Monkey, what are you…
