One of the little benefits of having children is that they can eventually start to do things that you don’t really want to do anymore. When I was growing up in Vermont, I proved to be a very handy lawnmower, wood stacker and dog food pourer. So now, my time has come. Big Brother is finally [...]

“Mommy! Mommy, look!”
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged conversations, food, holidays, Little Brother on March 12, 2010 | 5 Comments »
“Mommy!” “Shhhh, J. No yelling.” “Mommy, look!” “Shhhh! What?!” “Over dare!” (Pointing and practically leaping from his highchair) “What? Where?” “Over dare! Over dare! Mommy, is that Santa!?”
Yeah, but how will you support Dad and me?

“Mom?” “Yes, W.” “Could I be a teacher when I grow up?” “Sure! Course you can. You can be whatever you want, honey.” (Silence) “Ok, then now I’ve got three choices of what to be when I grow up.” “Well, you’ve always talked about being a pilot. Or, now, a teacher. What else do [...]
Snips & Snails & Dragon Tales

An actual conversation over lunch today. “Mom?” “Yes?” “Who’s your favorite Dragon Tales character?” “Ummm…I think Ord.” (first one that came to mind) “Ohhhhh. I know why you like you Ord so much.” “You do, huh?” “Yup. You just like him because he’s so BIG. Like you.” Awesome.
Jason Mraz Stole My Toothbrush
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged conversations, Little Brother, music on March 1, 2010 | 2 Comments »
My two year old is obsessed with Jason Mraz. I know. Weird. But, he totally is. We Tivo’d “Farm Air Presents Jason Mraz” and I’m not kidding when I tell you that Little Brother wants to watch it every hour of every day. And, while we were in Hell this week, I swear we must have [...]
He’s Five Going On Smart A**

Big Brother had his five-year old physical yesterday (broke my heart not to call it a “well-baby check-up” anymore). 45 lbs, 45 inches tall. Peed in a cup for the very first time. Eye check, hearing check. Four shots plus a lance to the finger in a hemoglobin check. Poor baby. Took [...]
Making The Grade

Last week my boys each got a progress report from their Nursery School. Each report was good. Certainly nothing to worry about. Both are performing all tasks relative to their ages. Big Brother speaks softly but often. Little Brother still has a little issue with Mommy-separation at drop off but then has a wonderful time [...]
Don’t Call D.S.S. But…

I’ve mentioned before that Big Brother has become something of a fussbudget when it comes to dinner. And, I’m not exactly serving up brussels sprouts and organic chicken. I’ll feed the kid Kraft mac & cheese, a chicken patty, spaghettio’s, whatever. Just eat it, punk. Nutritionally, he’s fine. He loves all fruits and [...]
What’s a Serial Swooper?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged conversations, marriage, parents, swooping, Vermont on January 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »
When my friend Liza, who was my matron of honor (she hated the “matron” part) and is undoubtedly my most-tenured friend, recently asked me what the hell a “Serial Swooper” was, I realized I probably owe anyone reading this blog an explanation on its title. Because, if Liza doesn’t get it….probably no one gets it. [...]
Big Brother Tackles "The Birds & The Bees"
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Big Brother, conversations, marriage on December 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A couple days ago, Big Brother and I are in the car on a special “Mom & me” outing. I love these time and so does he. Just time spent away from the rugrat brother, with my undivided attention. From the backseat of the car, he surprised me with this one: “Hey, Mom?” As I’ve [...]
