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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

My son and I were just having a debate. Yes, my son is only three, but still debates are a not a rarity around this house. Him: Mummy, I want french fries. Me: How do you ask? Him: May I has french fries, please! Me: Okay. I — wait — you still have french fries [...]

I used to think people were making up the fact that once you become a Mum you can handle pretty much anything; but I’m coming to realize that’s exactly true. Vomit used to make me hurl. I couldn’t be near it, if someone around me threw up I ran the other way. Since having my [...]

I say it like this because of what just happened. I called my Mum up, I’m fortunate she lives fairly close by, and whispered to the munchkin to say “Happy” then “Mothers” and then “Day” and he did, and Mum thanked him (I had her on speaker) and then I said the same to her [...]

“Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! I hungry, Mummy! I hungry cheese. I have cheese in my hand, please?” I looked at the clock and realized that I’d been meaning to make lunch for about twenty minutes but hadn’t actually done it yet because blog installs never go as quickly as you expect, “Okay, honey,” I told him, [...]

The munchkin’s third birthday is on Sunday and I worked out with his pediatrician that we could come in for his three year check up on Monday given I wasn’t sure when I would next have days off from work. We of course had to fill out a ton of paperwork, assessments of his motor [...]
