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 […]

My 2 year old son only wears brand name clothes
Most people assume that if they have boys, they won’t run into the same issues that girls typically have. Specifically, issues relating to clothes. Well, not so and I have a two-year old boy to prove it. Kyle has decided to show us his independence through his choice of clothes. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as […]
The fall of America, the rise of “Honey Boo Boo”
Up until a week ago, I’d never heard of the show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (on TLC). I saw a friend’s Facebook status mentioning Honey Boo Boo but not knowing what she’s talking about, I overlooked it. Coincidently, about an hour later, I saw previews for Honey Boo Boo and decided to watch it. To say the least, […]

A few weeks ago, while I was at the Toronto Zoo (my favourite new kid-friendly place in Toronto), I met a stay-at-home dad and his 27 month-old son, Jacob. We started chatting as the father overheard me speaking Hebrew with Kyle. He told me that he’s teaching his son four languages: English, French, Hebrew and […]
My son and I are on a first name basis
At our home, I speak Hebrew to our son and my husband speaks English. So when we were deciding what we wanted him to call us, naturally John wanted to be called Dad or Da-da and I wanted to be called Ima (mom in Hebrew). When Kyle was born, we repeatedly told him who we […]
Why can`t I just pee alone?!?!
For those of you confused by the title, you should know that I have an 18 month old son.* When I was pregnant with Kyle, I heard that I wasn’t going to get much sleep or alone time with my husband. But I was never told that I also wouldn’t be able to go to the bathroom […]
Mickey Mouse is Sleeping
When Kyle was turning one I started reading toddler books. I knew that Toddler behaviour will probably be a challenge for us since a) John and I were both a hand-full when we were young and b) Kyle had that “wild”, rambunctious attitude about him as a baby. One of my favourite books was called Toddler ABC […]
