Musical Theatre has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started acting out the Wizard of Oz word for word from age 2; I was acting in school plays by age 6; I went to drama camp as a pre-teen and then became a drama counselor, then improv teacher than show ...
#cleanlaundry
This is what happens when you have a massive flood , lose your washer/dryer for two months and then finally get a replacement. We have already planned a folding party for tonight. Oh joy. And we all know I'm totally awesome at doing laundry .
The greatest call to the pediatrician ever. In history. I promise.
It was not so long ago that I wrote all about my experience and evolution as a mother, and how I have learned so much in just four and a half years. I wrote, with confidence, about my expertise, and how I no longer have crazy frantic calls to the pediatrician or rushed emergency visits because ...
I carry your heart with me
I have now fallen into the role of doing bedtime for my daughter every night. Sometimes I am in a rush, to cook, or to make it on time for a dinner reservation or the start of a tv show, but other times I savor the time, letting the minutes roll by as we linger in the dark, ...
When I peed on that stick–all I didn’t know, 2.0
When my daughter was just shy of 18 months old I wrote about all of the things that I didn't know when I had first decided to become a mother. How that list has grown. Since that time I have learned about RSV and nebulizers, I have learned about cheerios vs. puffs, Disney Junior as opposed to Nick Junior... the ...
Check!
This morning's wake up was a typical one; My daughter roused early and spent time playing in her room. That was until about 6:15 when I heard her calling for me, somewhat frantically. I hopped out of bed and went straight to her room. "Mommy!" I heard her crying. "I NEED to hear 'Defying Gravity!'" Okay. And her sharp cries woke ...
“…’cause it will not last forever.”
Tonight, my daughter and I did our normal bedtime routine. I told her two stories (one about today's camp show, and one about a big dolls from Frozen); We sang through our repertoire of songs, but this time she insisted upon trading off with each word, sometimes each syllable, making "Yan"-"Kee"-"Doo"-Dle" and the rest of our lineup feel extremely long. (By ...
Boy am I in for it.
Daughter: "Mommy, who is your best friend EVER?" Beat Me: "Daddy is." Daughter: "That was the wrong guess. I'll give you another try. Here. She's four years old and she's beautiful and she's amazing. Now can you guess?" But I'll just say that if she wants to deem me her best friend for life, I'll take it.
Since this is the only real baby book I keep,
I feel as though I should mark down here that my son is now crawling... Solely for electronics.
#six
For some time now, K and I have been leaving notes for each other in the same word document on the computer every night for each of us to wake up or come home to or find. It is romantic, it is tender, it is intimate and it is organic. We are finding ourselves again, ...
