Can the Early Bird Catch the Worm if the Worm is Asleep?

By

I truly believe that the early bird can only catch the worm if the worm is awake. This morning JDaniel woke up at 5:00 a.m. Through the baby monitor I heard, “Eat! Eat! Mommy! Mommy!” being said in a little sleepy voice. He has been sleeping until at least 6:00 a.m. and sometimes later. I am not sure what the difference is. Maybe it is because we Continue Reading

My Daddy’s Things and Tasks According to JDaniel

By

Mommy is still very important to JDaniel. He still wants to know where I am and what I am doing all day. When he wakes up in the morning, it is mommy that is calls for.(Part of that is due to the fact that mommy is the only one that gets him out of bed in the morning. I am a morning person and my husband is really not.) Lately there has been a Continue Reading

I try to warm up the car to keep him warm as we travel to the grocery store, library, playgroup, etc… From Continue Reading

My New Year’s Baby!

JDaniel has decided it is time to have a baby in the house. No, I am not going to have another little one. This baby is a stuffed dog. A few months ago I jokingly put his favorite stuffed animal Eckel in a swim diaper. After I took it off ,JDaniel would go and get diapers for Eckel a few times a week. I would explain that Eckel didn’t need a Continue Reading

The Shepherds are on the Move

By

One of the ladies in my mom’s group at church shared this wonderful activity that she did with her children when they were little. She would set up her nativity scene minus the shepherds. The shepherds would start their journey to the stable far away from the nativity scene somewhere else in the house. Each day the shepherds would appear in a new Continue Reading

He wasn’t interested in creating though. He was really interested in eating what was in his tin! The meal was made up of flat bread Christmas trees, cheese and Continue Reading
