The first week of school went very well! I was nervous and anxious; princess was just fine. She's made a few friends already and loves her teacher. And, we had a homework assignment this weekend.
Tomorrow is the first PTA meeting - so we'll see how that goes!!!

First of all, she's 4 1/2 .... when did that happen? I feel like I blinked and my baby is almost 5 years old.
Second, she's going to be doing this alone. I'm tearing up as I write now because I'm scared for her, worried about her, excited and hopeful for ...

I swear, that one word can be said with so many different meanings behind it. I pretty much know exactly what my kids are going to say next after they say Mommy. I hear the word coming from all angles of the house and I already know what the issue ...

This morning princess told me in a calm, unequivocally confident tone "I'm not afraid of you!"WTH am I supposed to do with that? She's four and notwithstanding the myriad of issues that I'm already facing (and I say "I'm facing" because Daddy doesn't get down like that) I can't ...

I was away for a couple days at BlogHer in Chicago (incidentally, I had a blast) and I returned from the conference a little early. Much to my surprise, I returned home and princess had had a ball. Apparently, daddy went to Sears shopping for god only knows what and ...

I just put princess to bed after her second wakening tonight. Usually, by this time of night (a little after 10 pm) I'm pretty annoyed by these "surprise visits". I usually take a hard stance and either scream (okay, shout a bit) or threaten to take away a toy/stuffed animal/book. ...

Uh oh. We've learned a new word in school. "Popular." Such a loaded word when it comes to being a girl in school, isn't it? I've been so busy dealing with the rudimentary needs of babies and toddlers (feeding; changing; dressing; bathing), that I never saw the complex social issues ...

My LadyBug is now 3 years old! I can hardly believe it myself. I found myself re-living the entire birth process as the hours drew to her birth time - is that strange or what?!?! Time has gone by so fast though that I know I'm going to blink and ...
