Loose Stools

Don't you just hate it when your kids get "sick" and you have to take leave work to take care of them. This is what sick looks like, folks:

AKA - Lots of Playtime and Happiness!

Footy Pajamas and Baby Steps Forward

The weather is getting colder and it's finally time to break-out the fleece, footy pajamas!

 
KALLAN

A couple of weeks ago, Kallan counted to three using three newspapers in a drive way. I was so proud! A week later, he said the alphabet, from R-Z, while watching Dinosaur Train with no prompting of letters. I've got one smart kiddo!

MR. T

Mr. T is using the sign "more" appropriately when he asks for more food. We are having fewer freak-outs at the dinner table. And he is practicing the signs for "finished" and "please." Lots of forward progress in this family!

A Lazy Saturday Morning

The boys love to cuddle with daddy!

My Particular Child

Today, as we were watching TV, Kallan decided that my hand had to be on his head.

Some people say that strong-willed children aren't born, they're made.

You obviously have never had a strong-willed, particular child.

This is ridiculous.

Safe Spot

Kallan loved the bath until about two weeks ago when he pooped in the water. Ever since, bath time includes screaming and gnashing of teeth. I try to warn him that bath time is coming, but he always tries to hide. Under the coffee table is his designated safe spot.

New Blog Title, New Blog Mission

Kallan quit blogging. I hate it when he starts something but doesn't finish it. He must get it from his father.

This blog has been recycled and reused in order to reduce the number of completely unnecessary blogs out there. (And no, this blog is not unnecessary. It fills gaps, gives purpose, provides entertainment.)

The other day, I met a guy named Martin. Everyday for one year, he took a pictures  of everyday things. I saw the publication of his work and was intrigued as well as inspired.

I am an academic as well as an administrator. I am a wife and mom. In the last 6 months I have worked part-time, been a stay at home mom, and worked full-time. (My husband would argue that I alone have the "talents" to pull off a stunt like this :).)

I think my life would look very interesting in a series of photographs.

Here we go.

Dominance

I would like to say that Kallan was "testing out" the slide for Mr. T.
You know, to make sure that it was safe.

Nope.
Classic animal behavior.
Thanks to all toddlers for reminding us of the realities of human nature.
