See this I don't understand. Daughter's in bed rubbing eyes, fighting sleep but stays put and not a sound is made for nearly 45 minutes. You think you can breathe again and throw some wild parties! And then the door opens, a pitter-patter is heard, eyes blasted with the bright light outside and her biggest concern of the moment, "mommy, you told me ( Read more... )

So today, D & I met up with our friends Lori & 3 year old daughter S at the spray park. Lori has a month old boy. awwwwww... omg!! No, it doesn't make me rethink not having a second one. Over that.

This morning like yesterday morning, D got up at 6:30am. In hindsight, she adjusted to the daylight savings time being turned off very well, not us! She really must think her parents are lazy bums as she wakes us up with a stern, "get up!" every morning! This morning she got up early. I let her climb into bed with us and held her to sleep. She ( Read more... )

We went to a friend's house over the weekend. The weather was warm enough that we only needed light sweaters. As we sat in the car, I felt so naked! It's been so long since we have been outdoors without a jacket! It was a harsh winter and this week has brought about springlike weather! yay! It's looking to hit 70F (20C) today! yay!
