While Kyle’s babyhood went by too fast for me, I’ve really enjoyed watching him grow as a toddler. Especially since he turned 2! He has such a personality, and his high-energy is so contagious. Of course, there’s the other side of toddlerhood where I often find Kyle frustrated, mad or crying. This is obviously not a […]

Lucky for us, Kyle LOVES books. He can literally sit down for a full hour and listen to me read book after book. I actually read the entire page, no short-cuts, from start to end. If anything, I’m the one that has to ask him if it’s okay to stop reading books because I just […]

Have you seen my son’s pacifiers?
My 27 month old son is obsessed with his pacifierS. The problem is, they keep disappearing on us. I don’t know where they go or how they get lost, but they do. I kid you not, but we’ve probably purchased over 100 pacifiers in his lifetime. If you’ve ever purchased any before, you know they’re […]
