Dear Son #2, I'm sorry, I really am. I'm sorry I put you on the floor to play. I'm sorry I told your brother to go play with you. I'm sorry I turned my back for 12 seconds. I'm sorry he sat on you and rode you like a "hoorsee".… Continue reading I’m sorry.
Dear Son #1, I'm feeling very relieved that you're taking today's extreme heat warning seriously. It shows that you are both mature and responsible and really don't need me anymore. Lots of fluids, check. Light clothing, check. Periods of rest, check. Appropriate head protection, check. My job as a mom is done here I think.… Continue reading Today’s heat warning.
Dear Son #2, I think you must have some secret baby spidey sense that detects when I sit down with a hot meal. I mean, you're dead to the world until, "BING! Mommy's sitting down for 5 seconds I must let out a blood curdling scream that she just can't ignore no matter how much… Continue reading As long as you’re happy.
Dear Son #1, I blame myself really for not being more specific with my instructions of "go entertain yourself while I tend to your poopy brother". While I really meant "go and read a book quietly somewhere for like an hour", you heard it as "go into my closet and reorganize my panty liners". So,… Continue reading A simple misunderstanding.
Dear Son #2, Other than horses and June bugs, nothing too much scares me in this world. However, now thanks to you, I can add "baby pooping on hand while applying bum cream". Because I have never moved my hand so fast after that false alarm gas incident last week. Looks like Daddy will be… Continue reading Fear factor.
Dear Son #1, Congratulations, you are now a big brother! How does it feel? Oh, okay I'll wait until you're done your 67th tantrum of today... Done? Okay, how does it feel? From what I can see you are feeling a touch of malice towards Mommy and Daddy for not only bringing this incredibly noisy… Continue reading Status change: Big brother.
Dear Son, We should probably clear up what is on the breakfast menu as I really don't think we're on the same page here. Please review the following items available: Cereal, toast, eggs, fruit, yogurt – and if I'm feeling generous waffles or French toast. What items are not on the breakfast menu and you'd… Continue reading Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Dear Son, One day when you're old enough to start judging others, specifically parents and how they handle their children in public, you will undoubtedly say to yourself "no way is that happening to me". Well, it will. That's right, you will be just walking along, in a greenhouse for example, with your little bundle… Continue reading The “Wal-Mart Moment”.
Dear Son, I think we need to clear up a few things about how Mommy's belly is different and special at the moment to avoid any potential awkward social situations. Because I know you find these situations quite embarrassing. Or I do. Mommy's belly has a baby in it and come July that baby will come out and steal… Continue reading Let’s talk about bellies, baby.
Dear Son, Today is Mother's Day which I'm sure means absolutely nothing to you at this point but one day Daddy will hand over the reins to you and it will be your turn to shower me in gifts, meals, and the chance to sleep in. Remember, I gave you life. But, for now I'm… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
