Feb 15, 2012 (age 1 year, 10 mo) I got a picture of Hayden a few weeks ago after he had climbed into the cat bed. He climbs up and calls for Mike and I. He knows very well that he’s not supposed to climb up there, but he’s there nonetheless. He loves to climb…
… in Michigan, I might add. Since it was 60+ outside yesterday, I picked up the kids from daycare a little early because I just had to get out of work. Hayden was still in his pink shirt. Part of his routine when I get to daycare is to shovel in the front yard of…
“I’m so mad at you, mommy! I’m so mad at you I want to throw you out of the house!” – Violet @ 8:10pm I was in the process of getting ready to put her to bed, but she wasn’t ready. She wanted to play ONE MORE GAME, but I’m a stickler for schedules and…
This morning, both kids were just little pistols. Sometimes that’s a little infuriating when I just want to get to work, but this morning it was just so darn cute, I couldn’t help but laugh along with them. They both decided that they were going to pick out their own clothes. Violet did a really…
This morning Hayden hapagee geed (had to go pee). He was squatting down grunting. Listening to this, I quickly rushed him to the bathroom and sat him on the potty. After two drops of pee came out, he said that he was all done. Realising the being done debate was not one that I was…
This morning, Hayden woke up happy as ever. As we were getting ready for work, Hayden said “Kiss Mama…” Being a loving mother, Libby went to give Hayden a kiss and he abruptly said “Kiss Watch Mama…” He was wearing my watch on his arm. For the next few minutes, he was giving big loud…
For a while, both kids were healthy for an extended period of time. This all ended when I went to Puerto Rico. After I left, I found out that Violet and Hayden both had a respiratory bug. Needless to say, they didn’t sleep very well. Hayden started getting better last week and is now pretty much back…
This morning was all about cleaning (and playing). We got the kitchen and family room all cleaned up with some dumping of toys throughout. In addition to picking things up, Violet was helping do laundry. She put clothes in the washer and dryer and helped to hang them as well. After hanging and buttoning several…
Since the kids have been sick, they have been watching TV at night and resting on the couch. Tonight, they were feeling better so we left the TV off. They were playing bounce on the big yellow ball and golf. After Hayden went to bed, Violet and I decided to bead. She made a necklace…
Sometimes, I realize that I cannot anticipate every conversation with a three-year old. Here’s a summary from the other day while driving home from daycare: Violet: Is glass fragile? Me: Yes Violet: How fragile? Me: Well, if you drop it, it could break. Violet: Are the car windows made of glass? Me: (starting to grasp…
