Tuesday, November 4th. It is Election Day. It is my Poppy Don's 86th birthday. It is the date when my son was supposed to have his bris, had he not come 4 days before his scheduled C-Section. But this Tuesday is also an anniversary, and not a good one. A year ago on the Tuesday of this week I received ...
when you can have eight? So, yeah, this morning we found out that our baby boy, 10 days shy of his first birthday, will need glasses, just like his big sister. Evidently, though, he is an overachiever, because whereas she didn't need them until she was 13 months old, he is getting them before 12. Atta boy! And though he ...
Do you remember how I wrote about how my son sometimes acts like a wild animal? Well, for every one of those posts, there are bedtimes like these, sweet nuzzles into my chest, swelling pride at watching him say a new word or master a new trick or try a new food...

You know she and I love our nightly snuggle session). Oh but tonight, how delicious it was. Your room was dark and I held ...
Remember this old post about how I've eased up on my parental paranoia with my#secondchild?Well, clearly he's taken it to a whole new level. I was just sorting some clothing in his room, back turned for not two minutes when...Apparently licking the toilet seat was not sufficient.This means one thing.My child is clearly an overachiever.
That your first child was not chowing on potato chips at 7 in the morning... ...straight out of the dog's bowl. #secondchild
Two kids home on a Monday morning. #sickday Two different viruses, one additional overlapping one. It's awesome. Two stops to two fast food restaurants at 10am for throat soothing ice cream. McDonalds ice cream machine was broken. A Frosty remedied the situation. A lot of this. Leading to a little jealousy, So a little of this ...
