The joys of Christmas Eve

There have been many things over the last several months which definitely warranted an entry here; obviously, I have failed to pay them their proper attention. However, something happened tonight I just cannot let pass.
Maggie is, of course, working on the ripe ‘ole age of 4 and is as cute and whipsmart as can be. […]
Call a thing by its name

The context:
We were getting ready to head into town to visit the local municipal swimming pool. Maggie was in the process of changing into her bathing suit. As she is prone to do, she was running around naked and dancing. I had her bathing suit, which she needed a little help getting into.
The dialogue:
Daddy: Maggie, […]

Well, the most frequently asked question at this point is, “How is everyone doing?” So here’s an update:
Wyatt is doing well. He needed to be tested for something called bilirubin. Apparently, it is a precursor to juandice and is not a big deal provided the child is watched well in the days immediately following the […]
OMG somebody save me!

Mornings with Maggie usually brings a bit of frustration - she’s three, I except that fact. It’s normal. Basically she is slow - slow to eat, slow to get dressed, slow to put on her shoes and slow to get into her car seat. She is slow whether she wants to go to school that […]

For those of you who haven’t heard (which is pretty much everyone) – we are having a boy! Although Maggie really wanted a sister, I think she is adjusting well to the idea of having a brother– she has a plan to use her magic wand to turn her brother into a sister once he […]

If you’re like me, I only know what I know about the world of children–cartoons, toys, characters, etc.–because I have one. I long ago ‘gave up childish things.’ So, normally, I would not know who Dora the Explorer is. However, I have been forced to become very knowledgeable ever since Maggie began getting into her.
For […]

Erin does a pretty good job of being open-minded when it comes to new foods. Maggie will be three soon, so she is the picture of willingness to explore different things. I, on the other hand, am old before my time and always have been–I don’t like trying new things. I still remember my Dad’s […]

Here’s a pretty good one, in the ‘kids say funny things’ vein:
The three of us were getting ready for dinner, to include Maggie climbing up into her height chair. On her way up, she told Erin she was a ‘poopyhead.’ Erin responded by asking her what she was. Maggie said, “I an angel!”
We have only […]
Going to the Potty

We have ventured into our second phase of potty training. One of Maggie’s teachers at school said she should be ready in a couple weeks to stop wearing diapers/pull-ups and start wearing underwear. Sherry said she goes to the bathroom regularly at school and stays dry most of the day. Of course, she should still […]

We’ve had a breakthrough of astounding proportions: MAGGIE WENT POOP ON THE POTTY–TWICE!!! Her modus operandi is to go into the bathroom where her potty seat is, strip down, put her diaper in the trash, position her stool in front of the toilet, climb up, and pooped. She did this twice today, after we had […]
