Last night, Izzy started singing Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry, a song that I play for her on the guitar to go to sleep. We then put it on and started dancing to it, 3 times in a row. She was singing and dancing the whole time, and asked Read more…
This evening, there were 9 kids running/riding/scooting/screaming in our neighborhood, Izzy and Joe being 2 of them. The scooter gang is growing. It was great. Joe still doesn’t know how to use his brakes on his bike. That creates for some collisions as well as spills. Luckily, today, his falls Read more…
5 years ago around 9 in the morning, Izzy was born. I still remember that day vividly. How has 5 years flown by? She was so excited about her birthday. Last night, we had Joe give her his present – barbies. She gave him the biggest hug. In the morning, Read more…
This morning, Joe called out for me while I was in the other room – “Daddy, I need you.” I thought, uh oh, he’s pooped on the floor again. I went to find him. He was in the bathroom. I thought, phew, at least he did it on the tile. Read more…
Yesterday, Izzy had a poop that was over a foot long. I’m sorry, but it was worth calling out. I’m not sure how a 4 year old could produce that, but she did. When asked how that happened, she said, “I ate a lot of pancakes, duh.” Izzy also swam Read more…
Anna is at Kelsey’s bachelorette party this weekend in FL, and I have the kids by myself. So far, so good, as they both slept in until after 8 this morning. Yesterday they slept until about 7:30 which is also great. We’ll see if the trend continues. Big fan of Read more…
“Hey Joe, how much do you love me?” “No, Not at all!” That’s been a constant refrain lately, and the first time he said it was quite funny. Now its still kind of funny… Izzy has been getting much better at swimming, and has really enjoyed making crafts lately. We’re Read more…
Kids get you sick. That’s all there is too it. This time, think it started with Joe, then went to Izzy, then back to Joe, then to Anna and I. We both were out of it pretty good. Luckily, I was ok enough Saturday to take care of them, and Read more…
I forget if it was this week or last, but Izzy had 12 rings on one morning and I was going to take her to school. I told her she could only wear 2, that we weren’t flashy. She started crying and said that she wouldn’t be pretty enough without Read more…
Yesterday we took Izzy Ice Skating at the White Water Center. Next year we’ll try it uptown at the knights stadium, but it was fun. Izzy got a lot better from the beginning to the end, but we could have benefited from the “training stand” thing we saw people use Read more…
