The Boo has become known for his fantastic hair. Everywhere we go I hear “Look at those curls!” “Where did he get those curls?” “Oh my goodness, look at that hair!” It’s his thing. Well, that and pooping. Curly hair and poop, those are his things. I’ve taken great measures in caring for and maintaining Continue reading →
This year my family decided to spend Easter weekend at the Jersey shore. My siblings and I were like little school children excited for a field trip. We were determined to do spend the weekend doing nothing more than eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing. It isn’t often we get that kind of time together, especially Continue reading →
Now that the Boo is over a year and a half, definitively no longer a baby, moving towards independence, and making me and the Hubs think that it might be time to start thinking about #2 (don’t get excited, people), I’ve been a bit reflective about my little man’s journey from birth to little manhood.

What goes up, must come down, right? I knew once the Boo learned how to climb the stairs, I wondered how long it would take for him to figure out how to get back down. He’s a cautious little bugger, so I knew he was going to wait until he was absolutely ready to figure Continue reading →

Now that we’ve completed 2 rounds of ear infections and pinkeye, resulting from him picking up every cough and cold possible, I have to stop and think about this. Now, I know, every single parent I have talked to that has had a child in day care or school for the first winter says the Continue reading →
Remember the days of the epic poo-splosions? I sure do. The Boo would have at least one every couple of days, sometimes every day at one point. I had cleaning them up down to a science. Not a speck on the changing table, not a speck on either of us, minimal wipe usage. Spanking clean Continue reading →
Everyone says that the first winter a child is in daycare or school, no matter what age, they will be sick. A lot. Like, all the time. I had heard this. I had considered it. I had discarded it. Not my child. No no… this kid has an immune system of steel, just like his Continue reading →
When the Boo entered the Toddler Room at daycare, we were forced to put the kibosh on the afternoon bottle. We knew this was coming, so we actually stopped it while he was still in the infant room, just to make his transition a bit easier by not changing everything in his routine at once.
