The boy cannot live on chocolate milk alone - or can he?

I know it's normal for kids to go through phases. Phases where they sleep well, phases where they don't sleep well. Phases where they eat everything in the house and phases where they eat nothing. Ben has entered into a "food is no fun"...

Bring back the binky

I'm admiting defeat. I'm 2 for 2. I want the binky back. What am I talking about, you ask? Well, the taking away of the pacifier has also meant the end of daytime naps, for both of my children. Two for two. It wasn't so bad for Matthew because...

He's small but he's scrappy

Munchkin man. Baby Ben. Ben Ben. All of these are terms of endearment for our second born, our sweet little Benjamin. He's such a bundle of personality all rolled into a tiny little package. Tiny. He's our peanut. Unlike his super-tall, 90th percentile...

The pooping place

We visited Barnes & Noble over the weekend. The boys played with the train table and read books while I browsed through cookbooks. It's one of our favorite Saturday activities. We have the same schedule...get there, mommy gets coffee, Matthew...

It's all fun and games until someone gets a bloody nose

Last night the boys were playing so well together. They were wrestling and jumping on Mike and just generally getting along so well and cracking each other up. It was such a welcome change from the constant bickering over every little toy. At one point...

Mystery illness - helpless and frustrated

I posted a question about strawberry allergies to the forums the other day and now things have take another turn. (I tested the "strawberry theory" that day and, of course, he didn't have a reaction so I was back to square one). Today I...

Bummer of a birthday

My sweet baby Ben turned two on Saturday. If you ask him, though, he'll tell you he's three (I tweeee!), silly boy. He's my little spitfire. He's so adorable and so full of spunk and energy. From the time he was born I called him my boyfriend...

Time flies when you're having...kids

I let my little baby boy fall asleep cuddled in my arms tonight. I'm sure I'll pay for it tomorrow with repeated orders of "Mommy, COME!" and refusal to go to sleep on his own, but it was worth it. Laying in his bed with him smelling...

The baby Ben whisperer

As you all know, Ben is a stubborn little man. He will not be detered from what he wants, no matter the cost, no matter the amount of screaming. He'll stand and scream for as long as it takes for us to give up. He often can't be comforted, not...

Late to bed and early to rise gives mama dark bags under her eyes

Good lord I am tired. My dear sweet Ben is not a sleeper. (It feels like I complain about him a lot in this blog and let me just say that I have such love for that boy it isn't funny, he's so adorable and smart and funny and cute. But he's...

I love you too, now let go of my leg

Ahhh, we've entered that lovely stage of complete and total inability to separate from mom. My little Ben, the crazy, wild man who has never wanted to be held or cuddled. The one that can't sit still long enough to watch two seconds of television...

His will is stronger than mine

I've often talked about my independant one, Ben. He's the little brother and must do everything his big brother does. He's done everything (short of talking) on the early side. He stopped nursing at 6 months, just wanted no part of it anymore...
