Can`t Beat the Logic
Posted on August 3, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
This morning, I noticed that Dorian was awfully quiet . . . so I peeked into the bedroom and he quickly tossed something back into Irving`s box and stared at me with false innocence.
“What are you doing? Were you eating something?”
“Leave me alone!” He shouted. Ok. I walked over and noticed that the thing he`d [...]
We Have a Cat . . . and a Name
Posted on July 29, 2008 - Filed Under Fun, Kids | 2 Comments
So, we asked around. The kitten doesn`t seem to belong to anyone in the area and we have no clue where it came from. Not a problem . . . he (I checked last night) has a home with us.
Today, the kitten will get a flea bath and we`re all set to go. He [...]
We Have the Cutest Visitor EVER!

Today, I looked out the door and saw a tiny kitten in the yard, just sitting there, looking at us. I pointed it out to Dorian and he immediately wanted to go see it. We approached cautiously and to my surprise, the kitten was happy to see us and very friendly.
The boys instantly were [...]
Fun in the Sun

It`s been really sunny out today, so I took a bunch of photos of Dorian playing outside and when Dante and Irving came back from Antigua, I got these ones of the two of them.
I absolutely LOVE these pictures. You can bet one or more of them is going to end up on my wall!
He Just Won`t Stop!

When I was growing up, it was my sister Cherith (3rd of four, for those of you who are counting) who was constantly being rushed to the doctor or hospital. She once ate a glass Christmas ball just to see if it really was fragile. Another time, she got too close (as in . . [...]
Our Recent Nature Project

I`m a firm believer that education shouldn`t start at six or seven when a kid starts school . . . it`s an ongoing process. My boys are very interested in the outdoors at the moment, particularly in bugs and plants. So, I thought it would be fun to take advantage of that and start fostering [...]
A Brand New Potty and Other Tales

We went to Antigua with both boys today, something that rarely happens. Usually, due to nap schedules, they end up taking turns going with us. It didn`t go too well and in the end, we came home, put them down for naps and just Irving and I went back to Antigua.
One of the purchases [...]
So, Homecooked is OK? Picky Eater Problems Solved!
Posted on July 13, 2008 - Filed Under Food, Kids | 1 Comment
Dorian used to be one of those babies who ate everything. He gobbled down everything from cheese to bread and fruits and veggies. Then he turned one and that all stopped. I partly blame his final surgery for this . . . we had him on a very limited diet while his intestines healed and [...]
Don`t Give the Kid Candy Before Bed!
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 4 Comments
Warning, this is a bit of a rant.
Lately we`ve been having a serious problem with the in-laws.
They give Dorian candy. All. The. Time. It`s driving me insane. I can`t exactly lock him up in the house so he can`t traipse to their house and I`ve tried talking to them about it various times, but it [...]
