I always thought that Baby Tylenol was nice and tasty, since Ali LOVES it. I accidentally got some on my hand today and was licking it off to get rid of the sticky, and it is NASTY!! After you get through the sugary part, it tastes just like the awful aftertaste of a real Tylenol […]
Have I "Arrived"??
I have had two significant (to me) blogger events lately. No, no one has recognized me off the street and said “I know you!! I read your blog EVERY DAY!!!”. [sigh] A girl can dream. Significant Event #1. I had a hit on my blog referenced from a blog that I didn’t recognize (which does […]
ABC’s Part Two: New and Improved!
Since so many of you were fans of Ali’s original ABC video, I thought I’d share this one with you – it cracks me up how excited she is about it in this one! Her “AC Book” is still her favorite book. Keep an eye on her right elbow. . Chris told me last night […]
Supernatural
Ali has gotten to where she really looks forward to her nightly bible story and prayer time (although sometimes when we ask her who she wants to pray for, she says, “uh uh”. But if we ask again, she’ll always pick one of her favorite people to pray for, Eli or AJ). We sing “The […]
Scared to the floor
Ali and I were in my office today, and she started walking quickly to the door, which faces the laundry room. Right as she got to the door, the dryer did it’s horrible, long, loud buzz (which I don’t think she’s ever heard before since she’s usually napping when I do laundry, but today she […]
Princess Diaries
I guess that my terrible 2 days of terrible 2’s (Thursday and Friday) served to draw Ali and I closer, rather than making further apart, thank goodness. Or maybe it was that I was so busy yesterday with the Shower and the Reception. But at any rate, she was quite attached to me, and very […]
Meandering thoughts and admissions of guilt
Phew! I’m back home, in my comfy clothes, hanging out! Esther’s reception was beautiful – my Mom did a lovely job making it all come together, as I told you she would. Also mentioned in the above referenced post, I tried to stick to what I do best for this reception: computers and paper. :) […]
In Between Parties
Today is a busy day!! I was a hostess at Deidre‘s baby shower this morning, and am a hostess at Esther’s wedding reception (remember, the event that I made 300 invitations for?) tonight!! I am at the moment resting while Ali naps. Since Kendall is already 15 months old (she is being adopted), it was […]
"It’s Complicated"
All of you who are on facebook, I’m sure, are aware of that relationship status option. I’ve decided that “it’s complicated” is the best way to describe how Ali feels about her new cousin Eli. She talks about him ALL the time, and 98% of of the time when we ask her who she wants […]
2 Year Old Side of the Bed
Yesterday morning: Ali woke up on the 2 Year Old Side of the Bed. It was so weird, because she is usually so sweet and compliant. She did the opposite of what I told her, then would just STARE at me – she has quite a stare when she is being belligerent. Here’s a picture […]
