Lauding Lactation (August 13, 2010)
This is just a quick thought…not a post, per se. Just an observation that if it were not for me breastfeeding this darling little girl, I would never get a chance to hold her. I had to–lovingly, gently, cautiously–scold her father the other day. For two days his answer to “Dad, can I hold the…

Calling All Girl Moms (August 8, 2010)
Okay, women, I need help. All this girl stuff is just a little much to handle. I need organization help. Those of you who know me already were privy to that little bit of info. But seriously, this girl thing is another ball game. When I became a first-time mom, I had to learn how…

Divine Intervention (August 1, 2010)
That’s what my aunt said to me when I said, “But how did you…?” I queried as my aunt announced she was sipping coffee in the hotel not half a mile from our home (I was in the hospital lobby freaking out about an unexpected medical procedure that I’d wanted to avoid). “Divine intervention, sweetie!”…

It’s a Goyrl! …no, it’s a Birly? (July 16, 2010)
So many have asked, “What do you mean you didn’t find out?” After four boys, you’d think my curiosity would be unbearable. Actually, it’s more fun not knowing. Gives me and my honey something to banter about. Let’s the kids keep guessing (after the 34-week ultrasound two of them switched their guess from girl to…

Are You Dizzy? (April 20, 2010)
My sweet husband isn’t the biggest fan of amusement park rides. There are many he can handle (that’s my caveat to ensure that he isn’t made out to be a wimp in this post). The rides that spin or spin while going up and down: those are the rides that would classified as Henry’s Least…

Belly Burst (April 15, 2010)
My 3yo looked up at me to inquire if I’d help him pull up his pants (bathroom visit). He was so close to me and my belly was right in his face. He said, so innocently, “Mama, you going to have lots and lots of babies in your tummy.” Gee, thanks, G.

No Sound Bites, Just Tears (April 6, 2010)
TE cried because he had to leave. S cried on Sunday because he missed having TE talk to him at bedtime. T cried considerably on Monday night because he missed having TE to play with (they were quite the team). J has mentioned at every meal that he missed TE. It is followed by, Me…

Multiple Sound Bites: Star Wars Free Zone (April 2, 2010)
It didn’t start raining yet. Two neighbor boys (J and J) came over and picked up light sabers. I announced, “Sorry guys, there’s no Star Wars in our yard today.” They acquiesced, but those that live here responded with What? Why not? Huh? Mom-Aunt: Because it’s a Mom Sanity Zone today. Everyone else: Huh? What…

A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Sound Bites (April 1, 2010)
We’ve all awakened chipper and ready to roll from our science museum outing. Well, not sure about T…when we got home last night he was invited to a church function with a friend. Then he was invited to spend the night. So he’s still across the street, awake or asleep, but under someone else’s care.…

My Real Granddad (April 1, 2010)
During lunch today, TE said, “Y’know what? My real granddad is an EX-pert on every kind of animal there is. He knows everything about all kinds of animals.” Okay, I’m cool with that. What kid doesn’t brag about what their dad, granddad, mom, grandmom, or great-aunt-becky-sue can do? Here is why this sound bite is…

Thank you… (August 1, 2010)
“Thank you, Mommy,” said G. “You’re welcome, sweetie,” I replied, “but for what?” His answer was quiet, almost a whisper, but clear and genuine, “Thank you for making the baby come out of your tummy.” And then we walked over to her and kissed her again on the cheek. What a wonderful way to be…
