I have a lot of friends whose children started kindergarten this year. Most of them started weeks ago. Many of them posted facebook statuses about how hard it was to let them go. I empathized with them, and took a minute to think about my own baby boy going to kindergarten. Then the weeks dragged [...]
My husband asked me (jokingly) the other day why I didn’t like him right now. It was hard to explain to him that I was angry at him for all of the things he keeps doing in my dreams. I have been having a lot of bad dreams recently. Most all of them have revolved [...]
Since having a girl, people have asked me how being a mom to a girl is different than being a mom to boys. Up until now, it has really been very much the same (except for the abundant supply of adorable clothes in every store I walk into). Lately though, she is doing things that [...]
Life in our house is slowly turning back to normal. K has her bandages off now, and she seems to be happy to freely move her hand again. The boys have not talked about it very much. D has proudly told his grandparents that everyone else was scared, but he wasn’t. At the same time, [...]
I just got back from meeting with the surgeon with K. She closely examined all of her cuts, and said they look like they are healing well. They tested her fingers for range of motion, etc., and said that although she might be hesitant to use them for a while, they should be okay.

We just had a really great night. One of those nights that I want to have burned in my memory forever so I can go back to the happiness any time. It was a beautiful picture of all 3 kids happily dancing together to the music, each of them learning new moves from each other, [...]
For some crazy reason, I thought that D’s stitches would be the “big event” this summer. I called that one wrong.
Last night we got back from 24 hours at the Children’s Hospital with little Miss K. There is no nice way to put this. She got her hand stuck in our paper shredder.
Thursday [...]
Yesterday morning I was making lunches for the boys to take to day camp. The little guy was helping me, apparently a little too well. That night, my husband took out the cheese for some cheese and crackers. Here is what he found:
Hmm, suspicious.
On another note, Z has been badly needing new sneakers. He has [...]
For a long time now, my husband and I have joked that our little guy is going to be the one that we will be rushing to the hospital for stitches and broken bones. He is just such a rough and tumble little guy with pretty much no fear. Last night, we had our first [...]
The last few weeks of school we started getting consistent reports from the little guy’s teacher that he is a “ladies man” at school. One of his teachers’ quotes was, “he really knows how to take care of the ladies”. She said that he likes to put his arm around them, walk them into the class, [...]
