I wouldn't be surprised if my 3 year old turns into a bit of a smart Alec when he's older. To whit ( Read more... )

Took the boys to the drive-in last night and had an awesome time. We'll definitely do it again soon.  I took Robbie to the potty before it started and as I helped him get dressed afterwards, we had the following conversation ( Read more... )

Robbie just asked me to watch Dora...in spanish. (Our "on demand" cable system has a spanish language section with a handful of Dora episodes and Bob Esponja -- spongebob).  I've put it on in Spanish for him a few times and figured he probably didn't really notice.  Then I asked him, "¿Robbie, hablas Español?"

So it's day 2,530 of packing...or at least it feels that way.

After all, we never got to go ( Read more... )

I'm the worst Mommy ever. Ok, so I know I'm not really, but I definitely suck at writing stuff down. I can't tell you when either of my kids rolled over, got their first teeth or crawled except that I know it was within normal milestones. I could probably go back to past journal entries and think hard about where i was when I remembered it and ( Read more... )

Ok, so tomorrow I'll finally be caught up! Yay!
