It’s strange how quiet the house is today; we’ve had screaming, cat chasing, hissing, cat fights and tearing around the house like a herd of elephants, and that’s just been the munchkin. I was wanting to pack up for one of those Outer Banks vacations the past few days given it’s been so cold and [...]

Yesterday was pretty busy though I didn’t think it would be at the outset. My intention was to go to Walmart and come back, help Mum with some school work and generally veg given I still have the dregs of this cold that’s hanging on. Except fate didn’t let things go that way. First my [...]

I’m so glad that the munchkin has a really easy time interacting with people and getting to know them. We stopped by the park on the way home today and he ran off and was playing with the other children in no time, chatting with them, running around, trying to organize games.
I’m relieved. I’m often [...]

I realized the other day that it’s been a while since I’ve been to the dentist, and also that I really should take the munchkin to the dentist soon. It has been recommended by the pediatrician that we should take him and she did give us a list of places that take his health insurance, [...]

But he’s three and a half and very cute.
He’s hacked my IM before and “chatted” with a few friends and when I’ve left my facebook open he’s commented to a few people, and yesterday in the piece de resistance he commented to one of my twitter friends mrscrumley he actually managed to type some smilies [...]

My Mum volunteered to look after the munchkin today while I went to the chiropractor.
I called when we were on the way back, but she said she was going to take him out to lunch so she would be back later. About an hour ago she called to say that she’d promised him that if [...]

I wish there was some magic button and we could be done with potty training. I envy my Sims because it takes them a day maybe two, three at the most and they’re done. We’ve been at this several months and have only just started making real progress.
Still we have battles every day over the [...]

We’ve had quite a few issues lately with the munchkin’s behavior. This past week has been very trying for our whole family. We’ve been dealing with punching, fighting, kicking, screaming tantrums, disrespectfulness, and life endangerment.
He’s been so vexing and so deliberate in his disobedience that he at one point fell into our friend’s pool which [...]

My son is three years old and was trying to be helpful this morning. He was fetching and carrying various items of clothing out of the laundry room with me and then started piling up other clothes in the hopes of us putting those away too, not realizing that those were from the “dirty laundry [...]

I’d love to vacation at Westgate right now, please!
We’ve had our three for the month of June. Seriously!
This culminated last night in the munchkin sticking a rock up his nose and freaking out, and us not quite realizing what had happened, hubbie and I, I mean, and having to extract what we thought was just [...]
