It has been my experience the past 4 years that I am unable to keep our house clean if I am working fulltime. Heck, I had a hard time keeping it clean even when I was home with Big Brother. Recently I put much of my efforts into keeping just our living area and kitchen [...]

Ear Tubes, Ear Infections and Babies
Our Baby Boy is getting ear tubes. We found out today. He is getting them to prevent permanent hearing loss and damage to the inner ear from reoccuring ear infections and fluid buildup in his ears. He will have his surgery on Thursday morning. I got some additional info from Web MD.–

Toddler Problem #2–Hitting
I’ll never forget how much it bothered me when Big Brother started hitting. He first did after he started walking. I cannot remember how old he was exactly, but I do remember he did not understand a spanking at that point. The reason it bothered me so is because I was worried it would start [...]

Big Brother’s Garden Update
For those of you who wondered if Radishes were a great 1st garden pick for a toddler/preschooler, I just wanted to report–They are! It only took about a week before they started popping up in our garden. Big Brother was really excited. We have been watering the garden and the herbs everyday. I am happy [...]

“Act Right!”–A Son Disciplines his Mother.
Tonight my oldest son, Big Brother, was getting into bed with me so I could read him his nightly bedtime story. I was talking to him in a funny voice because we were being silly. I guess he didn’t like the voice I was using because he asked me, “Mommy, are you being silly?” I [...]

I think it began shortly after he started crawling. For the first time he had some control over where he went. He decided he wanted to go where [...]

…Ramblings of a love-struck wife…
I hardly ever write about my husband on this blog. Generally I jot down stuff about what is going on and how the kids are doing. The fact is my blog is mostly about my eldest son (at least I notice that the pictures are primarily of him). I have decided that this is partly [...]

“Daddy, Look! I Made an N! (my son’s artwork)
Today after we watered our garden in the backyard, Big Brother asked to play out on the back porch with his chalk. I opened the door and the screen door so that he could call through the screen and ask for us if he needed to. After being out there about 5 minutes, he called “Daddy, Look! [...]
