Picture Day

It’s picture day at her preschool today.  They did this earlier this year back in the spring, and those pictures turned out pretty well despite the fact that we totally missed the announcements about picture day and she wasn’t wearing anything special that day. LOL Today I dressed her in a red shirt and a [...]

Listening skills: needs work

If the Kiddo has any faults right now, it is her listening skills.  Or, her lack thereof, shall we say.  We’re often repeating ourselves, although we try to limit it to no more than two or three times, with the threat of time out with the second repeat if it has to be said a [...]

Holiday shopping for a toddler

Well, I guess she’s not quite a toddler anymore, I mean she’ll be three in January. When the ToysRUs big toy book came in the mail, we gave it to her to look through to try to gauge what she may be interested in having for Christmas and her birthday. The big hit was the [...]

At least we can laugh about it now

There are a couple of things that the Kiddo did recently that I keep forgetting to talk about here that are kind of amusing… So, before I forget again…    The first thing happened one night after I put her to bed.  After about 15 minutes of quiet, we heard her open her door and [...]

Kiddo: 1, Mommy: 0

Last night we had a first in our house. Our first, “if your kid/s is/are too quiet, that can’t be good”, incident.  I have photographic proof, too.

And on the flip side of this week…

She has entered a very, VERY irritating phase. “I can’t!”, which she says if she either a) doesn’t WANT to do something, or b) doesn’t THINK she can do something (when it is obivous she CAN) – which probably can really just be included in the first item. Yesterday evening she tossed one of her [...]

I think she’s almost got it!

All last weekat school, the Kiddo did not have any potty accidents.  She had one at home on Friday evening, but I think she was distracted playing with her playdoh.  Otherwise it seems she has caught on, and has even been doing #2 consistently (except for that accident Friday) on the potty!  Yay!!  Yesterday she [...]

I knew she was smart, but this amazed me

On the way home after picking up the Kiddo from daycare/preschool, we chatted in the car with her like usual, asked her how her day was, if she had fun, etc.  Today was someone’s birthday, and there was goodie bags, so she was digging through and eating the candy – a twizzler, a roll of [...]

Ready for Halloween?

Yesterday we went to a local farm that has a fesitval every fall (I’ll post a few pix later this week), and afterwards we went to my brother-in-law’s house to hang out and let the kids play.  BIL’s wife wanted to go get her daughter’s Halloween outfit and asked if I wanted to go along, [...]

I’m creating a monster

Every time the Kiddo sees W@l-m@rt as we drive by it on the way home from, or even on the way TO school, she asks if we’re going shopping.  And is disappointed if the answer is no (like on the way to school). Personally, I hate shopping.  But, I take her with me when I [...]
