One of my gifts to my hubby for Christmas was to arrange for us to go on a lunch movie date. Our one family who we leave P with were out of town so I called our good friend Scott. P’s met Scott at least a handful of times and he has a cat, … Continue reading A Date with Mamma
Because I’ve been feeling so stressed with my dad’s illness I decided it was time to get back into yoga. Before P was born I went regularly, 3-4 times a week. While I was pregnant with her I went daily. It really does my body so much good and I’ve missed it terribly.I belonged to … Continue reading Yoga…I’m back!
When I do my weekly shopping at Target, I reward P for her patience with playtime in the toy section at the end of our visit. I’m not sure if it’s her age and maybe P doesn’t know any better, but I’m amazed she doesn’t ask to take things home. Sometimes we take one small … Continue reading No Desires

Last Sunday P went ice skating for the very first time! It was amazing! Our friends invited us to join them for some outdoor skating fun. Hubby had to work that morning so I thought I could do this alone. I’ve skated before but it’s been decades. When we got to the rink P couldn’t … Continue reading Ice Skating
P has spoken complete, eloquent sentences. It happens sporadically and it’s only happened a few times. The other day we went to REI and when we parked she said “Pappa you parked too far away from the store. I don’t like it”. Just like that! Eloquent, with feelings and complete. Hubby and I looked at … Continue reading Sentences
Last week P named her bunny Choco. A couple days ago she named her dog pull toy Tony. She’s getting that we are all called something but are named something else. Big step. I have no idea where Choco came from? Tony…that’s actually our friend’s name. The father of one of P’s best friends and … Continue reading It’s all in a name
