This week, we had a day of firsts. I changed my very first poopy diaper in a public bathroom. It kinda sucked. Five minutes later, my Mommom treated my little girl to her very first $7 dollar hotdog, at our very favorite lunch spot. That was kinda awesome. And, when I asked my little girl how she liked her fah-ncy doggie, ...

Um…
So, I just decided to start weaning my daughter. She has been breastfed for 13 months and 20 days, and save a few sips of cow's milk here and there, it has been mama's milk and mama's milk only since we first met, all of those many days, and feedings, ago. I remember when nursing her used to ...
Rose Colored Glasses
originally published on Little Four Eyes It has been 10 days since my sweet girl got her glasses. On day 1, I hated them. She looks different. People are looking at her differently. She’s not used to them. Are they uncomfortable? Is she still the same little girl? Of course she’s the same little girl. What is ...
Those Gleeks ain’t got nothing on us,
because my girl and I just totally killed it with our impromptu mash-up of "Old McDonald" and "Row Row Row your boat". Killed it. And yes, we totally won Regionals. Totally. E-I-E-I-O.

In a land called my bed, I crawled under the covers late one evening, tired from a day of salt air and sunny baby strolling. Only, I couldn't get comfortable. There was something irritating me in my sheets. And so, after minutes of tossing and turning, I decided to do some investigating. And this is what I found: And that, ...

You look like a Princess! It's like you're my fair maiden!" -Reason #11224 why I'm so glad he's mine.
An excerpt
from last summer: Today was a typical day at the beach. You know, it was hot. We read. We relaxed. And braced for a tornado. What? You mean you’re not used to doing that at 4pm on a Sunday? Yeah, neither are we. When the news broke of the Tornado Warning, my Poppop kicked into high gear. I was otherwise occupied, you know, pumping, so, when I answered his ...
Girlie girls 4eva
When I first wrote about the joys of having a daughter a whole, long year ago, I never could have imagined that just one summer later, having a fellow girliegirl, who insisted on picking out my polish color last night, would mean I'd have these bad boys goin on. Ahh well, you win some, you ...
four eyes
Last week, we found out that our sweet girl needs glasses. She is quite farsighted, in fact. She was having trouble reading her T.S. Elliot Poems at bedtime, so I decided to have her eyes checked. Oh. You know I'm kidding. She can read Preludes just fine. It's her daddy's car magazines that she's having trouble wading through. ...
