Today was an excellent day of achieving “pee pee in the potty” so I feel its a good day to comment about the whole endeavor. I guess the true task of potty training started when P was 3 weeks old. My husband read an article about training babies by the time they are 6 months … Continue reading Potty Training
Of all the books I read while pregnant this was my favorite. This in itself should tell you a lot about me. “What’s Going on in There?” was written by Lise Eliot, a neuroscientist and mother of three. It explains in scientific but layman’s terms how the brain develops from in utero to the first … Continue reading "What’s Going on in There?"
P can say quite a few words now. She’s hit a point where she’s learning about 2-3 a day. It’s amazing. What I find really amazing is that even though she regularly uses some words like Pappa and eat she can’t say more than one word at a time. So, she can’t say: “Pappa eat”. … Continue reading One word at a time
For the most part, P drinks out of real glasses. I am very cautious about the safety of plastic so everything P puts into her mouth I make sure is BPA, phylate, etc. free.

There is a backlash happening where no discipline seems to be the alternative choice. Parents are afraid of making their child … Continue reading Discipline
This is my second year celebrating Mother’s Day. I still can’t get use to it. I feel like I’m playing dress up or playing a role in a play. Last year we went out for breakfast and I got free champagne and a flower. It felt like I had gone to a restaurant and … Continue reading Mother’s Day
We started our second session of ISR swim safety class. I say “we” because it may be P in the water but there’s alot of work in it for me. It’s a fantastic class. Last year we did it when P was 8 months. Since then, I’ve never been worried about her being near a … Continue reading Pool Safe
Today is the first time I noticed P pull things out of a container and then put them back in. Up until now it’s been recklessly pull EVERYTHING out. I wonder what clicked in her brain? Why does putting things back make sense now? Is it that I include her in putting toys away … Continue reading Out and In, In and Out
