P365 Day 220 – August 7th 2008

Lalalalalala… we have a new fence. Yippee! Our house backs onto an alley and when we moved in to this house over two years ago it came with a chainlink fence. We chose not to do anything with our yard until after we had completed renovations so we had one white trash summer. Picture the [...]

P365 Day 219 – August 6th 2008

Today was a bloodbath. Poor Woody was run over by a truck and a train is just about to take out the Transformer. I don’t know what was more disturbing – seeing it for myself or having an (almost) three year old explain what is happening in great detail.

P365 Day 218 – August 5th 2008

My first thought when I saw this… why, when there is so much space in our living room, did Thomas decide to play on the couch right next to his sleeping baby brother?
Because his babies (toys) had to go to sleep too of course. In his shoes. Right next to his baby brother.

P365 Day 217 – August 4th 2008

I took Thomas to his very first movie in a real movie theatre. We hit the 11am screening to make sure our presence impacted as few people as possible. There turned out to be just two other families in the whole theatre and one of the other families had a toddler with them so I [...]

P365 Day 215 – August 2nd 2008

This is called making a connection. Samuel responds well when you stick your tongue out at him. He also likes to be sung to and he even giggled when I tickled him today. He’s such a happy kid. In fact the only time he really cried today was when Thomas squirted him in the face with [...]

P365 Day 214 – August 1st 2008

The new ‘do. Darker and with a Fringe (Bangs for you Americans). It was about time I got something more mummy friendly. Samuel has quite the grip and is fond of grabbing large chunks of my hair and refusing to let go. So it looks like I will be wearing my hair back in a [...]

P365 Day 213 – July 31st 2008

Poor Woody.
When I bought this doll (sorry, Action Figure) for Thomas earlier this year I had no idea how much of an obsession Thomas would develop for everything Toy Story.
The toy was cheap and it shows. The arm you can see has been taped to prevent losing the arm below the elbow. Unfortunately the other arm [...]

Counting to four. Over and over and over…

Thomas requested we look up this song on You Tube after seeing it listed in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. He was reading the magazine while sitting on the potty (we’re slowly working on the potty training, although not with much success so far). OK – maybe he wasn’t reading the magazine exactly. I [...]

P365 Day 212 – July 30th 2008

Have I mentioned how much I love the park near our house? The Portland Symphony played there last week and it turned into a daycare reunion after a bunch of kids and their families turned up to dance (and wrestle) along to the music. The symphony really just provided background music while our attention was [...]
