Tuesdays I try and put up something worth talking over. Here goes nothing… I had heard other people say something about red dye and their kids’ insanity. I thought THEY were nuts. Until Keeley went bonkers about 20 minutes after eating fruit loops. Major bonkers, not just a normal bonkers. The next morning, same thing. … [Read more…]
There went who knows how much toilet paper in the john. Keeley was mad so she peeled it all off and threw it in there. She had nothing to be mad about. She was just using the bathroom and was not in trouble beforehand. She didn’t even wipe her tush with any of it. So … [Read more…]
Well, we had 2 days of banana, and then slept through 2 days of dinners. So last night we gave her sweet potato! She had a lot more success getting that to her mouth, and even though there was some requisite gagging, she did manage to get a couple of small chunks down (don’t ask … [Read more…]
her: “mom, can I play ‘push over the dwarves’ behind the couch?” me: umm, no dear.. wth?

I don’t know that other people understand, but when your kid’s birthday is in the fall, you don’t get much in the way of outside toys show up ‘gratis’. I’d been putting her off, saying it wasn’t spring yet, … [Read more…]
Brennan has been very busy since she turned six months old. She is definitely rolling over now, pretty much as soon as she is put down. She is SO proud of herself for doing it, too. Probably because we cheered the first 20 times she rolled over. Which of course means that she’s already trying … [Read more…]
I mean, how else would you know that the cat in the hat really DOES like green eggs and ham? Today is ‘Read across America’ day in honor of the late, great Dr. Seuss. I never actually read any Dr. Seuss as a child, so I’m learning it all now with Keeley. The only one … [Read more…]
