I’m not going to have this

Three year olds possess this combination of a sincere desire for independence and a need to cross every line their parents draw. With that, Laina pulled out all the stops this morning in trying to get herself a little TV. First, she went with the “One show is plenty” routine […]

hot date

Laina talks about her friend Miles (from preschool) a lot, and the two of them finally had a chance to have a playdate. Periodically, Laina would say “Mommy, I like Miles.” So sweet. They also got to dine together this afternoon :).

We survived…barely!

The last couple months have been insane. I think Sam and I are just starting to feel like normal human beings again! Between house hunting…moving into a new home…renting our condo out…preparing for the holiday…and have two little bundles of energy at home, Sam and I reached the peak of […]
