    Month 57 and 58

    Dear Olivia, There will be moments in life where you will feel like life is vomiting on you.  No matter how much you try to bob and weave, the crap will always find you.  The last few weeks have been difficult – not in the disastrous way of a death or anything but just little…

    Dear Miles, I used to think that once a person became a parent, they somehow became part of this secret society. A network of people; fellow parents who had your back in a time of need because let’s face it, parenting is anything but easy. Parenting is a battle and kids have a way of…

    Dear Olivia, I’ve only been in the parenting business for a little over four years now which I can honestly say that if this were a nine-to-five gig, I would be putting in my two weeks notice as I type this.  Not that I don’t love being a parent, I’m just a person who doesn’t…

    Dear Miles, I have always been concerned with your delayed speech but there was also a little part of me that was like, why rush?  You will learn to talk and when you do, you won’t shut up.  I remember specifically with Olivia sharing these same sentiments.  I remember wanting for her to speak and…

    Dear Olivia, I am a horrible decision maker.  I loathe making big decisions because I tend to place a great deal of importance on the outcome.  I can find pros and cons in everything and I will have anxiety attacks as I try to figure out a solution.  Just ask your Dad about our infamous…

    Dear Miles, I have heard the term strong-willed child and some even say, “oh, I see you have an independent child there.”  These are polite ways of saying basically that your kid is a brat.  It’s true, I’m the parent of a brat.  You, right now at this moment are textbook brat.  Does it mean…

    Dear Olivia, Have you ever heard a four year old girl play with her dolls?  If you have not, I strongly suggest you locate one this instant and lurk in the shadows so you can eavesdrop on her.  The play conversations a four year old has amongst her toys are hands down the funniest shit…

    Dear Miles, Thank you for flooding the bathroom this morning.  I’ve been given the gift of time now that you wake me up every day bright and early at 6am and I was actually asking myself, what to do with all this time?  Yes, trying to stop poop water before it penetrates the carpet is…

    Dear Olivia, This post is brought to you by stress-eating.  I sit here stuffing my face with every last piece of chocolate I can find in an effort to calm my nerves from the most stressful walk I have ever been on.  I’m serious – I have a mouth full of chocolate raisins and what…
