Sorry, I know it’s been a while. We’ve been busy, what with 2 weddings, 3 birthdays, a bout of stomach flu, and this thing called NaNoWriMo – write a 50,000 word novel in a month. I actually found time to meet that goal, even with two kids and everything else that needed attention.
Here’s some funny [...]

Amandaisms – a moment of EWWW
Posted in kids, tagged kids on November 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This post is not for the fainthearted. Amanda makes all sorts of silly comments about things (usually having to do with the potty), and I saved them all up for this post. So if that is going to gross you out – I promise, they really aren’t that bad – you might want to skip [...]
Sorry for the absence

I’ve been blogging A LOT about California’s proposition 8. I lose sleep some nights, because my mind won’t stop thinking about all the things I want to say. It’s bad. I promise things will be better next week, after the election is all done.
I surprise myself with how passionate I am about this issue. Those [...]
Have you ever…

bought a candy bar (or other food item) that had a promotional code you could enter to win a prize on it? Except when you go to the website, you can’t seem to find the promo game? So you google it, but still can’t find it? And then you think to check the dates of [...]

She just keeps them coming. Good fodder for the blog.
A: Oh no, Kaybee’s trouble mommy!
(After being distressed by mom wearing socks with holes in them) A: Mommy, your socks are okay?
(Treating mom for an owie, and counting down to bedtime) M: 4 more minutes, Dr. Amanda. A: 4 more minutes, sick mommy.
A: Kaitlyn, fetch!
Mistress Mary, quite contrary

I keep thinking of the old nursery rhyme lately. Why? Because my three year old daughter contradicts you no matter what you say. Sometimes it’s semi-legitimate: That’s not milk, that’s pink milk. Sometimes it’s just plain obstinacy: No, I’m not playing, I playing. (Now, I thought that’s what I said…)
So she’s learned a new word: [...]

This is just one long conversation we had the other day:
A: Oh, those are daddy’s cookies. Maybe try one of daddy’s cookies?
M: No, but you can try some of mommy’s. I’ll share with you. We have to ask daddy if you can have one of his, and he’s not here right now.
A: Oh. Maybe… talk [...]

Here’s a few more quotes from our silly kid.
A: Arrr, I’m pirate dinger. (speaking for her finger)
A: No, ball, not in the kitchen, soccer ball!
A: Mommy, please see how tall I is?
M: Ok… You’re 36 inches tall.
A: No I not 36. I 3!
(And here’s my personal favorite so far:)
M: I love you, Amanda.
A: (in her [...]
(Mostly) Successful potty training
Posted in kids, tagged potty training on October 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, we haven’t had any accidents in a while, so I’m hoping this doesn’t jinx it. Amanda seems to pretty much have this whole using the toilet thing down. It helped that she got some dolls for her birthday that had undies painted on them – she wanted to be like Cinderella and June. And [...]
A moving discussion
Posted in ramblings, tagged gay marriage, Proposition 8 on October 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
We’ve had such a long discussion about California’s Proposition 8, about preserving traditional marriage, that I decided to move the discussion to a new blog totally devoted to Proposition 8. Most people who come to this blog are trying to find out how my family is doing, and so they won’t have to sort through the political [...]
