The ladies ate huge pre-nap meals. Mimi truly ate a gallon of soy yogurt, some tortilla chips with hummus, veggie chips and drank three empty yogurt cups of soy milk. Beenie ate the same, tho her yogurt was greek style fat free cow milk yogurt, which she mixed with her soy milk to create a [...]

One Step Forward…

…One million steps back…
Yeah, they are sleeping. Yeah I gave them bottles. Yes, also over this past weekend for naptime. And yes, still for bedtime. It isn’t them, it’s me. This is clear.
I think I’ve had writer’s block for the month of June. I’m just feeling totally uninspired all the time about most things. Except [...]
Cold Turkey

Today, for the first time since they were born, I put the girls in bed for their naps without having given them a bottle. That’s right. I’m finally ready to give it up. Mimi has her thumb, and considering the huge melon shaped belly on her front, she was good and full. So was Beenie, [...]
Hysteria

This afternoon’s post calls for a super moody CameraMorte pic…
Took Mimi and Beenie to the gym this morning in hopes the post breakfast digestion would smooth over the separation anxiety Mimi apparently has. The last time we went was in the afternoon, after their nap, and snacks just weren’t enough to keep little Mimi from [...]
“Sand is better than poop!”

I’m quoting myself, true. Is that self-absorbed of moi? The girls are still sleeping so it’s ME TIME. Please don’t try to take that away from me. The quote was from a comment discussion betwixt myself and Cynthia re: her apology about sand her little Sylvie placed in a potted Oregano plant in our backyard. [...]
Mercy Mercy Mercy

We are now at the mercy of Baltimore’s weather. It is currently 96 degrees Fahrenheit in lovely Charm City. I suppose one is always at the mercy of one’s weather, but it isn’t always so brutal. For instance, I do not believe I will venture out of the house with my darling daughters today. We [...]
Shark Attack

Beenie is our resident biter. There is nothing cute or important or good in this act and it absolutely infuriates me. She bites Mimi. Her sweet (though recently a little bit rotten) sister. I won’t go into the multiple bite sites of the past. Well, maybe. The worst was Mimi’s cheek, which left a blue [...]

Sandstorm
Posted in parenting, tagged sand, sandbox on June 3, 2008 | 4 Comments »
My thing is: toddlers are messy. The things they enjoy doing are messy and they create messes doing the things they love. Sidewalk chalk? Messy. Food? Messy. Sandbox? Messy. If you can’t handle messes, don’t have children — you will be miserable and take the fun out of everything trying to control dirt and debris [...]
Sometimes it is Easy-ish

When everyone has had enough sleep, tummies are full and happy, nobody is biting or pulling hair, things seem like they are good and all is well with the universe. Today, so far, this has been the case. I am afraid to even acknowledge it, since we all know how quickly things can turn. But [...]
