He takes his toys and places them in the most random places or he steals regular household items and finds a more useful place for them. When I run across these relocated items or toys, I try to snap a quick picture as they always make me laugh. Here are Sayle’s latest masterpieces.
Who says you can only stack blocks on the floor or on a table?

Toddlers And Animal Noises-Video Post
“Ohhh! Look at the cow! What does the cow say?”
“Sayle, what does the piggy say?”
After singing Old MacDonald 80 billion zillion trillion times, I found that asking simple questions was just as useful in getting Sayle interested in animal noises. Anytime we ran across a cow, horse, sheep, pig, etc (real or a little figure) I put on my amazed voice and started asking questions to seize the teachable moment. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a good few minutes of “a moo-moo here, and a moo-moo there,” but I can only do that so many times before my head explodes.
Initially, I received blank stares from Sayle as I showed him our neighbor’s horses and did my version of what a horse sounds like and asked him to …
A Tale Of A Stressed Single Working Mom
I’m sure some of you wondered where I was last week and I apologize for my unscheduled absence. I was in single working mom hell and I’m not exaggerating.
When my husband informed me he was going to England for twelve days to attend his father’s birthday bash, I was totally fine with it. I was originally going to go, but was unable to attend. Twelve days as a single parent wasn’t a big deal.
Things were okay for the first five days. I set up weekend play dates with Sayle’s buddy Beau and his girlfriend Peyton so he could see his friends and I could get some adult conversation. I was definitely tired from working every day and coming home …

Getting Tubes In Your Ears Is No Big Deal Part II
For part one of the story, click here.I was warned by my friends and I am attesting to this was well, the hardest part of the procedure was Sayle waking up from the anesthesia. The nurse and I had to keep Sayle from hitting his head on the side of the bed rail as he thrashed around. As the anesthesia wore off, Sayle was all out of sorts, crying, and he kept trying to stand up. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for them at that time other than keep them from hurting themselves as the medication wears off. I was finally able to get him to drink some juice as I held him tight to settle …
