Diaper rash update

2008-07-03T12:06:32Z

I get to leave work early today, so I asked my husband to drop off The Boy. I wanted to get to the office early and finish up all my month-end things. Anyway, when he collected The Boy from school yesterday, he immediately checked The Boy's diape...

Livid

2008-07-02T15:04:12Z

I don't think there's a word that accurately describes my mood. "Livid" is the closest that comes to mind, but even that seems very tame by comparison. So, what is it that has upset me greatly? Ugh! Where to begin... My little boy has sensitive s...

Curious

2008-06-23T15:54:28Z

The Boy had a mysterious redness around his right eye and on his red cheek this morning when I took him out of the car. Thankfully, his former Infant teachers let me bring him to their classroom and hang out with him for a while to see if the red...

Such an unhappy boy!

2008-05-06T16:01:46Z

I dropped off a very unhappy little boy this morning. In fact, as soon as we got into the classroom, he started to scream in terror and cling to me for dear life. He settled down a bit while I was signing the roster sheet (still holding him, mind...

Ick!

2008-05-02T19:22:35Z

I really don't want to be one of those mothers (you know, the kind who think they know better than anyone else), but I have to vent about one of the parents in The Boy's (now old) class. Let me start by saying I think all children are born perfec...

The letter from school

2008-04-24T16:16:49Z

We got a letter in the mail last night from The Boy's school. It was a congratulatory letter, letting us know that he is progressing very well and will be transitioning to the Toddler classroom on May 5. No more baby. He's a full-fledged toddler....

Oh, if only I had my camera handy...

The Boy awoke this morning at 4:45. I shouldn't complain; he only woke at 8:45 last night (just before I jumped into the shower), went back down at 9:30, and slept until almost 5 o'clock. But 4:45 in the morning is still way too early for me. Any...

Fire drill at school

2007-08-23T18:15:48Z

Baby C had a fire drill at school this morning. I was there to witness it, as I was midway through my morning drop-off routine. It was really neat to watch; his teachers collected all the kids (6 total this morning), put them into 2 rolling cribs...

Baby C's new classmate

2007-08-06T17:07:23Z

As difficult as it is to leave Baby C at school each morning, I'm very glad that I went back to work as early as I did. I'm also very glad Baby C is already accustomed to having other people watch him during the day. When I dropped off Baby C at ...

Hungry babies

2007-07-31T15:20:40Z

I'm not a perfect mother. I don't think I even come close. I'm trying so hard to just get by each day, I congratulate myself if Baby C and I make it out of the house in the morning with both of us wearing socks (unless I'm wearing sandals, that i...
