Gillian said to me tonight, as I was pulling a tray of cookies out of the oven, “My belly is still hungry.” I giggled. She continued, “You know what makes my belly feel better? Cookies! He likes cookies.” I said “Oh really?” She smiled big and said “Yes! Him’s likes cookies. Can I have a… Continue reading The belly
Tonight while the kids were in the bathtub, John asked me “Do you remember when I was born?” What a question. How could a mom ever forget when her child arrived? Anyway, I said “Of course.” He smiled and said “Do you remember when I walked for the first time?” I told him “Yes. And I… Continue reading Reminiscing
The kids bedtime is 8. Yes, we are mean parents that send our kids to bed when the sun is still up. Anyway, john normally falls asleep quickly, but Gillian takes her time. Tonight I checked on her around 8:45 and she was still awake. “I’m scared of the dark.” That’s her newest ploy. It… Continue reading Goodnight
Today I got to go back to John’s school for ABC reader. It is a program where the PTA donates a book and once a month a parent reads it to every class in the school. This month’s book was a funny version of the three little pigs. John got to sit next to me… Continue reading ABC reader
A few weeks ago Gillian watched me get ready for work. She saw that I put on perfume after I was dressed. She asked “What’s that?” I explained that it was perfume and that it makes you smell good. She kept staring at me, so I asked “Do you want some?” She nodded and I… Continue reading Perfume

I asked “What’s wrong?” She said “I scared of the dark.” She has never been scared of the dark before. I know this is just a delay tactic. She… Continue reading Afraid of the dark
Daddy picked up the kids from school today. He got John first and then the boys headed to Gillian’s school. John and Daddy found Gillian playing in the sandbox outside on the playground.

Gillian is the best shopping companion. She entertains me and makes it fun. On Saturday, we went to the outlets to get the kids some new clothes. Just the two of us (no boys). Gillian immediately went in the store and started looking at clothes. She argued with me “No. I like this one.” She… Continue reading Shopping
Daddy always let’s me sleep in on the weekends. He tells the kids to not bother me and I normally get an extra hour of sleep. This morning Daddy got up to let Duncan out. I heard someone else get up and go in the bathroom and then they headed downstairs. I assumed it was… Continue reading Saturday morning
