“Hey, wait a minute – that’s my room!” Let’s just be honest – eventually one of these days our son is going to make that correlation when he’s staring into the baby monitor receiver in our bedroom, although in our defense I’m kind of surprised that he hasn’t gotten any sort of clue already when you take into…

June 16, 2016: No Hitting
What is it about little boys loving to hit things and people and pretty much anything they come into contact with??? I don’t think *I* was particularly violent as a child, although there was that one time that I accidentally hit one of the neighbor kids in the head with a baseball bat, which I promise you was in reality a lot less…
June 15, 2016: Gate Breach
This day was bound to come eventually, though I’d hoped we’d have at least a few more months of sanity. Long ago, we decided to put a gate up at Christopher’s bedroom door to keep him somewhat contained during bedtime and nap time. And today he confirmed that he’s now big enough to completely circumvent…
Mar 28, 2016: Flight School
I’ve always liked Tampa’s airport … possibly for a lot of the same reasons I like Tampa as a city itself. It’s big, but not so big that it’s easy to get lost and/or murdered wandering around it. It’s typically pretty clean, as opposed to Detroit Metro which I always used to fly out of and is…
Mar 22, 2016: Sicko
Of all the firsts that I’ve enjoyed seeing Christopher experience over the last two years, his first time throwing up most certainly isn’t one of them … and yet here we are, a week before the little guy’s second birthday and he’s barely been able to keep anything but Pedialyte down the last couple of days… And not for nothing, but at $6 a bottle that…
Mar 16, 2016: Hippo Removal
Some phrases you really have to hear more than once to ever believe that you even heard them in the first place… “Can you get the hippo out of his room while I get him ready for bed?” The hippo. The TOY hippo. You know, as if there was any possibility in my mind that…
Mar 11, 2016: Big Brother
So that thing I wrote about last week? The thing that resulted in enormous stress over the last eight days??? …well… APPARENTLY IT WORKED!!!!! 😯 😯 😯 We ended up spending the day over at Epcot to help distract us from the anxiety, and then around 1:30pm the doctor’s office called to say that the…
Mar 2, 2016: Seriously, Kid?
I guess this is what comeuppance looks like between dog and child. I honestly don’t even know who to side with anymore because she’ll steal food off his high chair, then he’ll jump on her back and try to ride her like a horse, then she’ll take one of his toys and tear it into…
Feb 22, 2016: Glued
We have new bedroom furniture being delivered in a few days, which unfortunately requires us to completely clean out the room to make way for said furniture. So far the job has involved a lot of trash, and a lot of dust. And a bathroom floor covered in Mod Podge. Maybe the cap just wasn’t…
