So much going on, so little time to blog! Here are a few highlights from our house: Zoe is speaking more and more, and speaking clearly! For months she’s been saying “WEEEseee!” in sing song. Yesterday, I realized she was “Who IS it?” (The way they say it on Jack’s Big Music Show. That’s how much clearer her words have gotten. And she’s chattering a

Zoe is downstairs, having a radical temper tandrum every 2 seconds. I’m losing it, she’s three in age, but terrible two in attitude… Amelia is downstairs, being willful and disobedient. She’s been strong like this for a while, but the last few weeks has really dug in her heels. There is banging. My new sitter is hanging tough, but I’m worried if she will run

Yesterday was awful. The teacher’s assistant at daycare told me Zoe climbed the fence twice. Then the director came up to me and said the same thing. The thing you need to know about the daycare director is that even when things go WELL, she looks like she just ate something that made her sick that she believes could be poisonous. Seriously.

Well, it’s been a rough couple of days of parenting. After suffering from a major brain stupidity cloud, I realized that I had NOT put my signed part of Amelia’s IEP in the bag before she got sick.

I’m thinking that you’re thinking after yesterday’s post, that all is well and good with parenting and me. Not so. In fact, it’s been VERY difficult lately. Usually I turn to God and prayer for help, but it seems the more I do the further I get from doing good with my kids. I’m too exhausted to set schedules, and continually put Amelia on the

OK, so I’ve got this great new blog and nothing to show for it, in terms of entries! I’m sorry. It’s been difficult, I don’t even really care for the design but haven’t been able to put one together for myself yet. It’s been really tough lately. Amelia who is now 4.5, is acting up a lot. I get very discouraged because I feel like

In case you’ve all forgotten, this IS a blog on parenting, and I’ve been wanting to share some things I’ve learned about discipline and the energetic three year old. It’s a good thing I DIDN’T, because I’ve learned even more since I wanted to blog about spanking, and even more since I decided to share some firsthand experiences. In fact, I discovered a 4 part
