We finally manned up as parents and decided that it is time to take our ALMOST THREE YEAR OLD out of her crib. (Pause to let the gasps of horror echo dramatically.) I know, I know – we should have done it long ago. But: a) she LOVES her crib – so why rock the […]
Chefiature.
I’ve been hearing about how Ali has become quite the chef at Gramamma and Pop’s house, apparently earning the title as an expert biscuit maker and cookie cutter. So, I decided to test out these mad skillz myself at home. I needed to make a Danish, so I enlisted her help. And I was surprised […]
Week of Firsts: a Fail and a Win.
I’m not quite sure what kind of vendetta I had against myself when I planned two brand new, somewhat invasive experiences for Ali within 48 hours of each other. Seriously. I know this child. I know she doesn’t like change. So why stack this week’s odds against me? The First First: Wednesday – The Dentist. […]
Hoarders, Toddler Edition.
Being that she comes from a long line of packrats, poor Ali doesn’t have a chance of being one of those amazing people who seem to have not an iota of clutter in their home. That being said, she’s already starting to show hoarding tendencies. In particular, with little things. I’ve never kept her from […]
Princess Gummies Changed My Daughter’s Life.
First of all, I must say thank you for all of your comments and encouragement yesterday. I’m actually (gasp) GLAD I wrote that post now!! Second of all – seriously?? So you all want me to write more POO blogs?!? Well, it’s your lucky day. Because. . . Princess Gummies Changed My Daughter’s Life. I […]
You Might…
You might… eat out too much if you have the following conversation with your child… (Me, tasting Ali’s sucker): “Mmmm…it tastes like apple.” Ali: “Yes, it tastes like an Applebee.” You might… be boosting your kid’s ego too often if you have the following conversation with your child… Me, during Hurricane Ida’s leftover rain: “It’s […]
Farm Production, Southern Style.
We visited some friends at their farm today. Ali got to see many things… Including being shocked that “fishing” didn’t at all mean what she thought it meant: It was a bit of a jolt, but fascinating nonetheless… She enjoyed climbing all of the different fences to see the animals… Including the Llamas digging deeply […]
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This…
Sorry I’m late in getting this annoucement out: The winner of the Prima Princessa DVD is Michelle from 5 Little Wolfs! Saturday night after coming home from staying with Gramamma during the LSU game, Ali woke up screaming three different times – 2am, 5am, and 6am. She wouldn’t talk, but she would shake and nod […]
Stung by The Birds and The Bees.
My good friend Lydia (of Mom Jeans and the Dreaded “Long Butt” fame) had her fourth baby Tuesday night (obviously she is braver than I). A few of us split up the rest of their kids, and I got the lucky draw of Radford, baby #3: I really think he may be the cutest 16 […]
Life Through The Lens of Goldilocks
Everything in Ali’s life is currently being related back to The Three Bears. There were three table decoration pumpkins at the camping lodge. They were immediately named Papa Pumpkin, Mama Pumpkin, and Baby Pumpkin. She informed us that her favorite was baby pumpkin, my favorite was Mama Pumpkin, and Chris’ favorite was Daddy pumpkin. All […]
