I should be putting all my child conversations here. I place our dialogs on Facebook/G+ at times, but I haven’t downloaded all my posts from there*. Here, I can back-up easily. After getting in bed with Jay last night**, he grabbed my hand and said: Jay: Mommy. Can we talk? Me: For a little bit. [...]

I didn’t take Jay to the doctor at his 4-year because I decided to wait and do him and Ada’s yearly check-up at the same time. For school paperwork, his last check-up needs to be within 6 months of me filing out said paperwork, and if I had taken him around his birthday, it would [...]

Around 9:00pm, Jay came into our room to share his brilliant solution to stopping the snot that had been plaguing him all day: he shoved a bead up his nose to keep it in. Wonderful! After a quick look with a flashlight and a failed attempt to get it with tweezers, Mac hauled him to [...]

Since he had a doctor’s visit, I have more Jay stats — well, okay data that I then chart to stats. Anyhow. Height: 42 inches, almost right on the dot, which is between the 90 and 95th percentile Weight: 35.5-ish lbs–she was going between that and 36lbs. He was fully clothed and layered because it [...]

Life seemed to be going so well and smoothly that I started looking up to the sky to watch out for the falling anvil. It hit me today. Jay has a virus infection. He had some bumps on his back that looked like they could have been small bites. He woke up this morning and [...]

I know most like to freshen up for Spring. I like to freshen up for Autumn as well. The kids’ closet was emptied today. A few large stuffed animals that were in there and not played with were set aside for Goodwill. Jay’s extra low bar was installed. Hanging clothes have been sorted through. Summer [...]

I had the kids bring some paper to the table before dinner was ready. Jay loves to draw things to gift me. He should at least be drawing bodiless people by now. If I ask him to draw me a shape, he will. On his own, just scribbles. We set out to do some drawing [...]
