Dear #dbacks, there is a little almost two year old who watches almost every televised game from start to finish. He points to the screen & says “bahh-bee” – his way of saying baseball. He imitates the wind up and the pitch and runs around wearing a dbacks hat. He “runs the bases” when you […]
Little one, you may have kept me up all night and I look like a disaster and the house is a mess, but when I see those cheeks start to fill out, I know I’m doing something right and I’m gonna keep on keepin’ on…
Bye bye due date. Been nice knowing you. Tell our son he is now running late for dinner. And I do NOT like serving cold food.
Tonight we needed just a few minutes of adult talk time and J was clamoring to get on my lap. Me to J “Joshua, I’ve paid attention to you all day. You have two choices: you can go out on the porch and play with the doggies or you can watch cartoons.” We watched as […]
Love my husband. As we were planning how to celebrate our anniversary this last weekend, I asked him “Hey, do have any favorite restaurants you’d like to visit?” His response. “Babe, I have no preference. All I need is you and to NOT be on call.” 😉 It’s a doc’s life.

As I watch my toddler break down and throw a tantrum for no apparent reason, I cross my arms and I have one thought running through my head, “I will not negotiate with terrorists.”
My independent little boy let me rub his back for a few minutes before naptime. Either he’s getting sick again or he *may* need me for a hot second. Shhh…. let’s not tell him we’re in on the secret.
This morning, I got J up and in a rare show of affection he snuggled in to me and put his forehead on mine. And then he stuck his tongue out and licked my nose. We both laughed until we cried. I <3 this boy.
So for a year and a half (even longer if you count in utero), I’ve been talking to J where it’s more me just babbling and asking him questions not expecting a response. Well, blow me down, he’s started responding. What the heck do I do now.
