Wow, I never would have guessed anyone would get so excited over a yucky bodily function, but having kids will do that to you (:
As I have mentioned before, I have been beginning some potty training action with my 25-month-old and it’s been slow going for a while now.
Potty time!
I ask Isaac if he wants to use his big boy potty a couple of times a day, and recently he has begun actually peeing in it as opposed to sitting there for a second then running away cackling. Of course the peeing is followed by the usual praise and what not…Hooray for pee pee in the …
And by “post-baby” of course I mean 2 years after Isaac was born, but I will mention all the associated lovely experiences!
Not that we women don’t dread our yearly pap smear and stirrup show to begin with, but once our bodies have produced and given birth to a child, it’s even more enjoyable (please note bucket of sarcasm).
At least you can keep your socks on!
Disclaimer: I know that regular health checks and screenings are essential for our health, especially our reproductive health, and in no way would I ever skip it or advise anyone else to…I’m just whining about it, that’s all (:
So let’s see, prior to …
I was sitting in the living room, curled up with a good book as I like to do during my son’s nap-time when I can, when all of a sudden I heard a whimper from Isaac’s room.
Not thinking much of it, as sometimes he makes funny noises while sleeping, and it was way too early for him to be up, I continued reading.
Then from Isaac’s direction I hear him say “I scared, Mommy I scared!” in the most pitiful and sad little voice I have ever heard.
Awww my poor little pooh bear, I wonder what scared him? Of course I had to go in then and make sure he was okay and administer a good snuggle hug…
When I walked in …
Not that I am trying to jinx us, but really, the last time we had a hurricane scare was Earl about a year ago, and we got nothing more than some high winds and rain. I think by the time the storm hits Hubert it was already downgraded to a mere tropical depression.
And as any North Carolinian knows, we Eastern shore folks laugh in the face of anything less than a category 5…well that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I do think that the locals in this area are pretty well prepared when it comes to hurricane season.

We’ve got our hurricane parties, …
Finally sleeping after a bad day...
The day my husband got back from his deployment, Braylin was not acting like her normal self, but I thought she may be able to feel the anxiety that was radiating from me and she would go back to normal when I did. The next day she still acted a little sluggish, but she hadn’t slept well the night before so I thought that was the cause. If you are missing the pattern here, I always blame other factors before accepting the fact that my baby might be sick.
My sister-in-law was in town for my husband’s homecoming and wanted to take us …
In general Isaac was a fairly content baby. He easily adjusted to daily activities and changes in his schedule and kind of just went with the flow. He even began sleeping through the night at 3 months, for which I am eternally grateful.
This is not to say my son has not been a handful at times, especially involving naps and teething (:
Overall, however, he was a nice calm infant and baby…who has suddenly morphed into a terrible two!
This is the new terrible 2 face
I was not expecting this to be a such a quick transition, or to be so loud and rowdy, considering Isaac’s temperament, but there …
