We took the kids and our bikes down to Manasquan Beach today. John did awesome. He pedaled down to Seawatch Beach and then down to Main Street and back. We did stop at Gee-Gee’s so John could play a few games. He needed the break then because we were pedaling into the wind. After we… Continue reading Beach bike ride
I gave John some clothes to get himself dressed this morning. While he was getting dressed I went into Gillian’s room to wake her up. She saw me as soon as I walked in. She jumped out of bed and came running over to me. She gave me a big hug and said “Johnny?” I… Continue reading Good Morning
Everyone knows that a kiss from Mommy makes everything better. Today in the car on our way home from school, Gillian had a boo-boo on her finger. She was holding out her finger and said “Owww! Mommy kiss.” I explained to her that I couldn’t kiss her finger while driving the car. So I kissed… Continue reading Mommy kisses
The two year old room at The Lincroft Center for Children is called the Piglet class. Her previous class was called the Tigger class. When Gillian first started in the two year old class, we would ask her what class she was in. She would smile and say “I a Tigger!” After a little bit… Continue reading Piglet
Today we didn’t do anything exciting. We stayed home and cleaned the basement and watched cartoons. John went upstairs to build a big Lego airplane. I used that opportunity to watch Cinderella with Gillian. She has a Cinderella doll (that she calls Rella) and a Cinderella Barbie. But she has never seen the movie. She… Continue reading Lazy Sunday

Tonight we had to run to Toys R Us to pick up diapers and a bike lock. Before we got to the store, Daddy told John that we were not buying any toys and we were just picking up two things. He understood even though he was disappointed. I got Gillian out of the car… Continue reading Chicken pumpkins
John & Gilly say the funniest and sweetest things. Here are a few of my favorites from the past couple of days: Yesterday morning in the car on our way to school, Gillian took her shoes off and pulled out her ponytails. “Gilly! You can’t go to school with no shoes!” When you ask Gillian… Continue reading Funny things
We had the kids annual exams scheduled for this morning. I have been talking to both John and Gillian about going to the doctor and how we are going to be brave and do what the doctor asked. I have even been sing that Doc McStuffin check up song. For those of you that don’t… Continue reading Check-ups
Gillian has always been a good eater. But lately she is very distracted during dinner. Tonight, for example, she was standing on her chair singing. We had to keep telling her to eat. She would eat but then get up and sing again. All of us were finished with our dinner and I told John… Continue reading Dinner and a show
