Yep.  Eating my words. *sigh* Topical antibiotic cream, 3 times a day, for 10 days, keep her home from school today and tomorrow, blah blah blah. Boy do I feel dumb. And a bit ticked off.  I called the daycare this morning to call the Kiddo out sick for the day.  I called them again [...]

Those blisters might NOT be caused by her pull-ups.  One more popped up on her leg, nowhere near where her pull-ups would be, and it was when she’d been in underwear for two straight days.  My MIL had looked up some pictures of a certain skin infection when she had the Kiddo overnight on Saturday, [...]

Most days, we have to convince the Kiddo when it is nap time to go lay down and get some rest. Today was different – she was sitting watching Toy Story II, and decided to pause it and proceed to tell me “I tired, I want to nap.” O.o You won’t get any argument from [...]

The last few days, I’ve noticed a little sore on the Kiddo’s tummy.  First one appeared, it looked like it had been picked at, I figured she had just scraped herself on something, or it had been an itchy spot that she scratched until it scabbed up.  Then another appeared, less than an inch from [...]

When I dropped the kiddo off at school today, one of her teachers told me that she was one of their best at pronouncing their own names. Talk about making a mom feel proud! She also recognizes her name when it is written down or spelled out in magnetic letters.  Her daddy was instrumental in [...]

The Kiddo stays overnight at her grandmother’s house now and then.  Before our vacation in August, it was every other week. Then Grandma decided it was time to revamp it to allow the youngest grandchild the opportunity to spend the night at her house, too.  Which is only fair and everyone was ok with.  So [...]

So last night, we went to dinner at Red Lobster with my husband’s mom & step-dad, to partake in RL’s Shrimp Fest all-you-can eat dealie.  Yummy!  Well, that also meant we got home a little later than we anticipated.  The Kiddo really needed a bath, but 1) it was already bedtime when we got home, [...]

Earlier I was looking through the pictures in my gallery to make the badges for my Entrecard widgets, for a specific picture of some flowers my husband gave me for my birthday right after I found out I was pregnant with the Kiddo.  This of course meant I was scrolling through hundreds of pictures taken [...]

(not said in the tone typically used for that phrase – this is genuine) I got the Kiddo dressed for school, had her give her daddy a kiss on the cheek while he slept, and then got her into the car, with her little sunglasses and her little “Lilo & Stitch” purse, and her “pinnow”. [...]

definition: a mis-pronounced word used by the Kiddo so often that the parent starts to use it, too. Sometimes. The first one, and my favorite:  pinnow This is what she says when she means “pillow”.  She has a little pillow lovey that I got for her last Christmas.  It has always been “pinnow”.  Until this [...]
