Our lives as parents

As a new stay-at-home mom, I am still getting my feet wet. I am learning new routines, new sources of frustration and new sources of joy. Although we don’t have a strict routine established yet, we have ditched the pacy (or shi as Aden called it), and are learning to use the potty. I think we have a ways to go on that one.

One of the best toy purchases I have made recently was a bug catching net. Endless hours of entertainment for a young boy of two! We have already caught spiders, butterflies and lizards!

Comments on the Harry Potter series.
Oh my gosh, I am such a big fan! I would have been at the midnight showing except that I have to work and sleep and take care of the baby, and blah, blah, blah. Sometimes life just gets in the way of my desires! We are definitely going to see it this weekend…..

Inexpensive toys that the toddlers can entertain themselves with.
Entertaining a toddler stretches the creative mind to its limits. How does one find an object that will delight and keep a nine-month old busy? I read all the parenting books and took their advice…use everyday objects. It is really amazing how an expensive shiny colorful toy will be passed up for an old wooden spoon.
