Two Pees In A Potty

Make that three pees….three pees in a potty.
After rethinking our potty choice (upon closer inspection, the potty bench had some “features” that weren’t suitable for our boys), we decided upon this plain ol’ potty which was the one I had originally wanted anyway.

It’s a great little potty chair. Colourful for [...]

Yet Another Birthday Boy

It’s been a busy couple of months for birthdays, with Zander turning 2 in May and Logan turning 1 a couple of weeks ago. But today there is another Birthday Boy…my little brother.
Yes, today is my brother Andrew’s 32nd birthday. I thought this would be the perfect day to tell my bloggy friends about my [...]

Pondering The Potty Purchase

Thanks to all of your wonderful advice, we have a plan of attack for this whole potty training thing. I’m actually quite excited about it…although I’m sure that excitement will soon turn to exasperation. So I’m holding on to this feeling for dear life.
After searching through the myriad of potty solutions available, we [...]

Nothing To Complain About

Sometimes my life gets too overwhelming. I have my fair share of challenges.
I’m a bald woman. I’m allergic to sun. I’m allergic to cold. I have an easily-injured back due to instability caused by an extra vertabrae in my lumbar spine. My oldest son doesn’t like to eat. My [...]

Did You Know That Goldfish Crackers Play Peek-a-Boo?

Neither did I. I guess it’s just one of those little-known facts…but Zander discovered it today.
Let me preface this story by telling you a little bit about peek-a-boo in our house. Long ago, when Zander was only a few months old, hubby and I shortened the name of the game from peek-a-boo to [...]

I’m Gonna Miss The Potato Chip Burps

Before Logan was diagnosed with GERD, he was diagnosed with a suspected cow’s milk allergy. Because of this, he has been on soy formula since he was 3.5 weeks old (I was unable to breastfeed).
It was difficult to bond with him for the first few months. The GERD made him scream non-stop…even when [...]

Seeing Red

I’m seeing red this morning. Not because I’m angry. Because my 1 year old got his pudgy little hands on one of his big brother’s red markers. So perhaps “Caught Red Handed” would have been a wittier title…?
I was just getting ready to feed Logan his cereal, when he crawled into the [...]

Chicken Little

My boy ate chicken for dinner tonight. A lot of chicken. Like, most of a breast of chicken. And he didn’t gag or vomit all over himself. I’m so blown away….I think I’m in shock.
It was the usual dinner….pureed vegetables (otherwise he would normal not eat anything!), and some of what [...]
