the “Fixie-Man”

Big Brother and I were in the kitchen today.  He had told me that he wanted to watch a “big movie.”  He brought an Elmo movie to me.  Remembering the time that he had scratched that DVD up, I asked him, “Does that movie work?”  He replied, “Daddy Fixed it!  He’s a good “fixie-man!”
All I could [...]

Blood Everywhere…

Baby Boy had his first Big Brother-induced accident today.  Let me set up the scene for you:
We are getting out of our van today after school and my hands are full.  The boys have run into the garage already and I call out to them to come get their rolling backpacks.  I then set them [...]

Commercialization a 4 Year Old Boy

I remember the times when we had the DVR…I skipped through the commercials everytime one came on.  It was absolute bliss.  Big Brother actually thought that the TV was broken or his favorite TV show was permanently off when he actually had to endure a commercial.  I never thought I would miss the DVR as [...]

My Sinus Problem

I have had a neverending headache since College.  I never knew why…I just learned to live with it.  I took sudafed and ibuprofen/tylenol when I needed it.  When I was pregnant with Baby Boy, I was referred to an ENT because the pressure I was having in my sinuses was really bad.  Unfortunately they wanted to [...]

The 4-Year Old Art of Finessing

Well, he has finally hit another milestone…
…and the jury is out on whether I like it. 
 
Yesterday I told him to pick up his toys in the living room.  He proceeded to smile and say…”Only if you help me.”  I said to him (in a joking manner)…”I’ll help your butt…all the way to your room.”  He [...]

Big Brother Learns to Measure!

We introduced measuring things a while ago.  Yesterday, while at Walgreens, I bought a ruler as it was on sale for .17 cents and I thought it was a good deal.  Anyway, I pulled it out yesterday afternoon and told Big Brother, I brought you something!  He was really excited and started trying to measure [...]

Getting Bigger!

Well Baby Boy is getting bigger before my eyes.  Today he learned how to climb into his car seat in our Kia Van.  It has bucket seats, so he had to climb from the floor of the van into his seat.  I was impressed.  I told him to get into his seat and he looked [...]

Hello Again!

I’ve been consumed lately with all that goes on in families.  That coupled with a lack of anything to talk about.  Imagine that–me, speechless!  I know…you’re thinking…what could possibly be wrong.  Really nothing right now.
I have had a couple things happen that I had the fleeting thought of “Oh, I should blog about that…”  Things [...]
