The other day at dinner, N (our three year old) was refusing to eat his dinner again. This time, thank goodness, his momma was dealing with it. She was taking the relaxed this-is-why-you-have-to-eat approach. Explaining how important food is, how it gives us energy… you know the drill. In fact, I’m willing to bet that if […]
Read MoreAs I may have mentioned before, I’ve had to get a little creative with my lullabies. Not having any experience with kids prior to my own, I didn’t know any of the traditional ones. I ended up stealing tunes from my own memory – things like “Let it Be” and the Spiderman theme song. They […]
Read MoreOne of the biggest battles I’m currently waging is the one to keep things out of the kids’ mouths. Both boys love to chew on things – fingers, shirts, dog toys… Okay, maybe not that last one, but it’s almost that bad. It’s driving me absolutely crazy. Yesterday, we went down to see Mr. Richard […]

She’s in high school, child CPR certified, and great with the kids. She showed up at 5pm, which was what J had arranged. I, however, didn’t have to […]
Read MoreI may have mentioned before that I now work from home. My office is on the second floor. Actually, it is the second floor. It’s where I spend most of my days, running Live Oak Games and working on my writing. Every once in a while, however, I get the hankering to see some other […]

Read MoreA month or so ago, our three year old made an important discovery. I was in Maryland at the time, talking on the phone with his mom. I could hear him demanding the phone in the background.
