It’s Spring Break. That doesn’t mean much for our schedule, since P is not in school yet, but it does mean we get to hang with the neighborhood gang more. Today four families went to the beach. P can keep up with the other kids now. I like to watch her navigate her way through … Continue reading Beach Buddies
A good friend of mine found this newspaper article of my dad and I. I remember this day clearly. The Sun-Sentinel was our local Florida newspaper. They came to our tennis club, where my dad was the head pro, to do a story on him. A photographer came with the writer and took these pictures. … Continue reading Can Tennis Change Your Life?
I knew this day would come. Every other girl in the neighborhood is into them so why wouldn’t P join in? Littlest Pet Shops. They’re really cute, with cute accessories. I just can’t really tell one apart from the other. Some I don’t even know what they are…a dog, a bunny, a mole? But as far … Continue reading Littlest Pet Shops
We started getting organic fruits and veggies delivered to our door weekly. We’re using LOVE delivery. It’s our third week and I love it so far. You can custom order your box or take what they have for the week. I like to do both. One week I select the things I specifically need for … Continue reading I LOVE fruits and veggies
P goes down for a nap at about 2pm everyday. She of course, isn’t too keen on the idea. Like clockwork everyday, at about this same time, she’s very focused on a game with her toys. It’s the kind of playing I wish she did more of when I need to get something done. She’s … Continue reading A New Trick
On Friday we started potty training again. This time it’s going much smoother. It feels completely different from when we tried last June and then failed by September. What a difference nine months makes at this stage in life. To begin with, P can talk much, much more. It makes a huge difference. She can tell … Continue reading Potty Training, Phase 2
I started taking P out on the court before she could walk. I use to stick her in my wrap and we would both grab onto the racket while I hit. She was so into it last year. At 14 months she could drop the ball with one hand and hit the ball with the … Continue reading Tennis
I recently painted one of our walls in chalk board paint. I had paint left over so I decided to “extend the life” of two of P’s cheap wooden toys. I bought her two wood masks at a craft store a while back. They always seem to have plenty of them in the $1 section. … Continue reading Extending the life
P set the table today for the first time! A couple days ago I finally sat down to eat. I’m always the last one to sit. I do so after I’ve gotten all the last minute needs of everyone else at the table. And, as I often do I forgot something for me, a fork. … Continue reading Setting the table
While being pregnant I realized something: it feels wonderful. I hate to say it but the last pregnancy felt like I just needed to grind through it. We wanted a sibling for P but I really didn’t have the energy for it all. In retrospect there was alot wrong with our lives that I didn’t … Continue reading Ready
