The Logic Astounds

In the car… Baby girl: Can I take my sandals off? Me: You want to take your sandals off? (you often have to repeat what they say to be sure you understood right) Baby girl: Nope Me: So why did you say that? Baby girl: Because I want them on. You can’t argue with that [...]

How do you handle bed-time?

Parenting

At our house, we try to give baby girl her nightly bath around 7:30 pm, though some nights it’s closer to 8 pm. The general goal is for the bed-time routine to be over and her to be asleep by 8:30 pm. Most nights, my husband gives baby girl her bath while I grab her [...]

Binky Update

Baby Girl

It’s been 5 nights that we’ve been bobo-less. And contrary to my belief, things did not go that bad. There was no hair pulling, no screaming, and just some crying. Friday night: We explained to her that “Blanca the Bobo Fairy” was coming to pick up the bobos to take to the babies. And that [...]

Bye Bye Binky

Baby Girl

Example 1 – Ballerinas She already loves to dance. Now, she likes to dance like a ballewina. With hands on top of her head and up on [...]

Loving the Words “I’m hungry”

Baby Girl

Yesterday I stayed home with baby girl and had a day off from work. She had recently been sick and is still really recovering. But, we had a pretty good day and accomplished a milestone. Up until now, baby girl (who’s a picky eater) wouldn’t really tell me when she’s hungry, thirsty, etc. You would [...]

Feeding My Toddler

Baby Girl

My baby girl is 2 years old. Well 2 1/2 really. Not sure if it makes a difference. She is what you would call a picky eater. I call it annoying. She refuses to eat meat, unless it’s bacon (turkey) & sometimes deli meat. She refuses to eat any veggies, except for baby carrots (sometimes). [...]
