Lately Gillian has been putting her babies in timeout. She puts them on the stairs, whispers something to them and walks away. After a few minutes she will go back to the babies and take one out. I like to ask her why the babies are in timeout. She replies “Pushing.” Sometimes she says “Baby… Continue reading Timeout
I don’t know if it is just my kids or it’s me. But we attract the most random people. Today we were eating lunch in the food court at Monmouth Mall. A little old lady passes by our table and starts waving at Gillian. Gillian saw the old lady and started to squirm in her… Continue reading Random people
Tonight Gillian pulled all the cushions off of the couch. She started jumping up and down on the cushion-less couch. She would jump up and land on her tushy and she would laugh. John noticed what she was doing and had to join her. The two of them jumped together and laughed. I know we… Continue reading Trampoline
The kids and I had a relaxing night at home. I made grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and put on John’s favorite movie (this week): Popper’s Penguins. I asked John to explain the movie to Gillian. He said “Gilly, there’s this one penguin his name is Loudy. And he’s really noisy.” That’s how he explained… Continue reading Cake
I love that Gillian is becoming like John. She has her little group of “friends” that have to join her in bed. John calls his stuffed animals his “friends.” Every night when I check on her I take some of the friends out of her bed, but yet every morning she has them in bed… Continue reading Friends
Wednesday is water day at school. The teachers had a little pool and a beach ball sprinkler set up when I dropped the kids off at school. It was supposed to rain today so I didn’t think the kids would get a chance to play outside. I asked John tonight if he got to do… Continue reading Rain, desserts and Olympics
Today John’s class went on a field trip to the Paper Moon Theater in Atlantic Highlands. I signed up to be a chaperon. It was my first time chaperoning a field trip, so I was a little excited. John was super excited. Not only did he get to go on a school bus, but Mommy was going with him… Continue reading Field Trip
Gillian loves to play with her baby dolls. She frequently brings me a baby and says “baby cryin.” She will hand me the doll and ask me to help stop the baby from crying. I always play along and rock the baby and give baby kisses. The other day, Gillian gave Daddy a crying baby.… Continue reading Shaking
I woke John up this morning and told John it was Gillian’s birthday today. He said “Can I wake her up by saying Happy Birthday?” So we let him going running into her room. He was so excited to be the first person to wish her a happy birthday. When I went into Gillian’s room… Continue reading Birthday Girl
Daddy and I planned to go to the Monmouth County Fair tonight. Daddy picked up the kids and I met them at home. We picked up food for dinner and ate in the car. We drove all the way to Freehold and there was a big sign saying that the fair was closed due to… Continue reading Un-Fair
