My kids are anal

They get it from their father.
Because God knows, I’m far from anal. Things don’t have to be perfect in my book. I don’t mind a little clutter, my clothes are never perfectly ironed, and my bed is rarely made. Ok, so it is only made when the cleaning ladies come because they [...]

My question of the day

What would possess an almost 5 year old to stick a popcorn kernel up her nose?
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time until it hurt and she began to freak out. One quick blow with me holding the other nostril shut dislodged the kernel which shot out like a cannonball. [...]

So(y) Busted.

Continuing from my previous post, we were to try soy formula since her RAST test came back negative to soy. I was so looking forward to using soy instead of the very expensive formula ($25 for 3 days worth.) Like I’ve said before, I would like to breastfeed exclusively again, but more on [...]

TheYoungest’s first few months (cont.)

Where was I? Oh yes, the vomiting, the hives. It is hard to believe that was a month ago. That means TheYoungest is 5 months old. Happy Month Birthday, Baby!
I had instructions to call the allergist the next Monday morning. Our pediatrician recommended one that I had already seen with [...]

SNOW DAY!

We have a snow day today. To celebrate, here are some pictures of the first snow this winter. We’re going to try to get out today to play, but TheYoungest is a bit sick and is not letting me do anything.

Speech woes

I had a parent/teacher conference yesterday for TheMiddleChild. Like I thought for TheOldest, it felt a little silly. What is Mrs. H. going to say? “She is doing a great job and doesn’t run with scissors.”
Mrs. H. did say she’s the perfect Montessori child. She watches other children intently and learns [...]

TheYoungest’s first few months

Today I went to TheYoungest’s allergist to get her test results. They did the RAST test.
I’m kind of getting ahead of myself….
TheYoungest is almost 5 months. I’m nursing her. I nursed TheOldest and TheMiddleChild as well, but I had some issues with TheOldest and had to give it up quickly. Actually [...]

Preschool parent/teacher conference

TheOldest had her parent/teacher conference at Montessori today.
Kind of crazy for a 4 year old. I guess it is even crazier that the 3 year old has hers next week.
But as it stands, TheOldest is a happy, friendly, good worker who like to burp a lot in class.
Yup, that’s what Mrs. M said. [...]

Why I won’t try for a boy

I don’t know why people don’t think I’d be happy with my girls. They are perfect. I don’t have the need to have a son. Would I take one if one fell into my lap, or however they come about? Of course, but asking me if I will be trying for [...]
