confessions of a first time mom: The Bed Is Made
http://confessionsofafirst-timemom.blogspot.com/2009/08/bed-is-made.html
Friday, August 14, 2009. The Bed Is Made. This was Penélope's first time making the bed by herself. Even though not everyday does it turn out this well, I never remake it. I only point that out, because I want to remake it half the time! But given the fact that she seems to have the same perfectionist tendencies as her mom, I never do. I want her to know that her best effort is never a disappointment. She felt very proud of her accomplishment. So did I. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

confessions of a first time mom: June 2008
http://confessionsofafirst-timemom.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Can I just brag for a minute? Christopher is an amazing father. He is so loving and gentle with his Penelope. He doesn't always like to admit it, but his heart is a big mush for his little girl. I used to think of myself as patient, but Christopher beats me and every other parent. Oh, did I mention that he is, also, helplessly good looking? Ok, so maybe that's for my benefit, not hers). Penélope is a blessed little girl. Saturday, June 14, 2008. Christopher and I celebrated. If yo...

confessions of a first time mom: On the phone with Bella
http://confessionsofafirst-timemom.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-phone-with-bella.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. On the phone with Bella. I happened upon this adorable moment of Penélope on the phone with her beloved cousin, Bella. They were talking so loud that I could hear both ends of the conversation. So stinkin' cute. Penélope: "Do you wanna come to my house, Bella? When can I come over? Penélope: "You can come after lunch, if you want.". Bella: "Sorry, that's not a good time for me. I need to be here when my Daddy gets home from work. I can come at night.". Penélope: "Um, no,.

confessions of a first time mom: Big Brown Eyes
http://confessionsofafirst-timemom.blogspot.com/2009/08/big-brown-eyes_03.html
Monday, August 3, 2009. They say the eyes are the windows into the soul. I can't take this! I said that several times before I got up to attend to her. This was not my proudest moment as a parent. I looked back into her sad eyes and I talked about how Mommy had screwed up. I asked if she would forgive me. Before I finished the question she said, "I fo-give you, Mom." And it was at that moment that I realized I had to tell her something. August 3, 2009 at 2:58 PM. Ela é muuuuuuuuito fofa! My current one&#...

confessions of a first time mom: Penelope and Her Hunt Boys
http://confessionsofafirst-timemom.blogspot.com/2009/07/penelope-and-her-hunt-boys.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Penelope and Her Hunt Boys. When I told Penelope that she was going to hang out with her cousins, the first thing she said was, "I gonna see my prince, Mom? My prince needs me? Does he, Mom? Nathan is her prince. Maybe she's right. Just look at him helping her ride the bike. Then it was time for a picnic. Penelope's favorite thing. We went to Lake Harriet and goofed off and kicked the ball around. Many other moments, Penelope simply enjoyed observing her fun cousins. And I love the...

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. New England: The End. We spent some time hanging out back at the Alton homestead. The bride-to-be took some time out of the wedding planning craziness to sit back and chat a more with all of us around good food and good laughs. We all enjoyed getting to know Melissa more. And some of her close friends. And Happy got to goof off and enjoy playing together. Can you tell they're friends? And Ethan even got some alone time for perfect his fishing techniques. Shop in the center of town.

confessions of a first time mom: January 2009
http://confessionsofafirst-timemom.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. I Can Live With That. If you happened to be at Barnes and Noble at the Galleria a couple of days ago and felt your ears being assaulted by a screaming lunatic, that would be the Little Miss. I just can't live with that. However, I submit to you that there is no grander public humiliation than that of your own child profusely misbehaving for all to see and hear. It exposes the secret fear that says. I don't think I'm a very good mom. I can live with that. Friday, January 23, 2009.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010. A Conversation with a Little Happy. A couple of weeks ago. Mom, you wanna. Her hands were eagerly. Clasped together trying to contain the excitement. Of a great idea. We could snuggle in your bed on the fluffy pillows if you want.". We climbed into my unmade messy bed and Penélope. Eagerly adjusted all things fluffy and comfy around us. She laid down on her side, head up and chin resting on her hand. Then she said,. I like the sky, I like yellow." I answered. That I love her ...
