Lets Hear it for the Boys
While I was out of town, I overheard a conversation that made me sad. A little boy and his mother were looking at a book and the mother pointed to a picture and laughed. “Look at that, isn’t that silly? Boys don’t belong at tea parties,” she grinned at the child and he nodded, albeit [...]
Diapers, Disasters and Delicious Goodies…
Traveling with a toddler is always a unique experience…. no two trips are the same but they are always a lesson in patience, endurance, and ingenuity. This trip was no different. J and I set out on Thursday night, driving up to just north of Atlanta to see my brother and cut the trip into [...]
Toddlers without Tiaras
Mothering a toddler might be the most fun I’ve ever had. Ever. There is no other job in the world that comes with these perks. No other job where your boss asks you out of the blue, with a tilted head, if you like lions and if green ones are your favorite. When I told J that we [...]
Missing the Magic
At 5:45 the puppy began to yelp and I slid out of bed and into my slippers, shuffling down the moonlit hallway to her kennel. I clipped leashes on both dogs and stepped out into the half light of the morning, noticing that it had rained overnight. The air had that curl of mist that [...]
It’s not Cola…
J is taking a medication that upsets his stomach. And I mean, it REALLY upsets his stomach. Yesterday, he was curled up in my bed for nap time, happily reading his books and staying nice and quiet for the better part of an hour. Finally, around 1:00, he asked if he could get up and [...]
Bugs
I have never been a fan of bugs. I never liked bugs that fly or crawl or buzz or scuttle. I hated ones that spin webs and ones that roll and especially ones that bit and stung. They terrified me and I abhored them. I appreciated their “role” in the society of earth and all that, [...]
These Are the Days
At 5:00 yesterday morning, I was up making breakfast. In the corner of the living room, just next to the television, J’s little brown basket sat… full of goodies from the Easter Bunny. The dogs yapped for breakfast and I obliged, taking the next hour as time to get ahead… ahead on laundry, ahead on [...]
I Love This Little Guy.
Tonight, I gave J a bath. In and of itself, I promise that is not some strange phenomenon. But as he was splashing and playing and begging for five more minutes of play before putting on his freaking adorable Superman pajamas, I couldn’t help but think about the very first time he sat in that [...]
My Little Miracle
J’s daycare is at a local Methodist church here in Macon. As a result of the location, he does a lot of learning about the Bible. Lately, he’s been waking up in the morning and singing “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.” And seriously, I can assure you, there is [...]
Frazzled.
I’m frazzled. Yesterday was such a tough day at the office that I was frustrated when I picked my child up from daycare. He wandered over to me, clutching an ice-filled glove to his head, and explained that one of the other kids threw a train at his head. He had a giant purple lump just [...]
