Dear Son #1, Okay, let's talk about the protocol in public bathrooms when you can reach the light switch. Now don't get me wrong, it was pretty entertaining to watch you play "peek-a-boo" with your brother by turning the lights on and off, he was loving it, you were loving it, and I was able… Continue reading Public potty protocol.
Dear Son #2, Wow! I can’t believe you are officially one. One! The possibilities are endless and soon you’ll be asking for the car keys (I’ll save you the trouble – No.), going out with girls (see car keys answer), and stealing our beer (Hahaha good luck with that). Most of time when a… Continue reading Now that you’re one, this is what you don’t do.
Dear Son #1, Last Friday, as you might remember, we all went to Niagara Falls for the day. I’m going to stop there as there could be a book about the adventures that happened but we’re just focusing on one thing today and that is your math skills. As you know Mommy and… Continue reading 3 going on 8.
Dear Son #1, So lately we've been doing a lot of pant-less days outside as I'm trying to convince you that diapers are not the way of the future. However, I think you're in need of a few tips on bare-bum outdoor safety. Always use suntan lotion, there's nothing worse than a burnt bum. Always… Continue reading Pants are overrated.
Dear Son #1, I'm sorry about what we made you do yesterday. I'm sorry we had to pretty well pin you down and bribe you with a cookie and an episode of The Wiggles on my phone. I'm sorry you felt the need scream, cry and thrash. I'm sorry you felt you couldn't smile for… Continue reading I’m happy you survived.
Dear Son #1 & #2, Mommy and Daddy are home! Since you probably have no concept of time, you were at Oma's for nine days – poor Oma – and we went to Florida for a child-free vacation. I'm not gonna lie, it was the most relaxing nine days I've had in a long time.… Continue reading Nine Days.
Dear Son #2, The other day we went for your usual check up at the doctor's where they were very pleased with your progress and pronounced you a very healthy baby now weighing 18.5 lbs. As your mama I was, of course, very happy to hear this good report yet at the same time bewildered.… Continue reading Everywhere but your mouth.
Dear Son #1 & #2, Mother's Day is tomorrow and, from what Hallmark tells us, it's a time to thank your mom for everything that she does. All the boo boos she kisses, the bums she wipes, the books she reads, and most importantly; the questions she asks. What's that [smell/taste/sound]? Why is that [wet/dirty/all… Continue reading This Mother’s Day, thank YOU sons!
Dear Son #1 & #2, It takes a very brave and dedicated Mom to attempt Walmart portraits with a baby and a toddler, I hope you know this. Maybe it's because there was a $25 special on or because I just want one photo of you two - smiling and booger free - or… Continue reading The Portrait Studio.
Dear Son #2, I know that you are excited to venture into this new world of crawling, or more "inch-worming" in your case and I'm very happy for you. Your big brother, on the other hand, does not share your enthusiasm. I'm sorry but as much as I try to encourage him to share his… Continue reading The toy-stealing inchworm.
