May Day Cafe: My Treadmill Studio: Yes, I Know I Am Ridiculous
http://nerissanields.blogspot.com/2015/02/my-treadmill-studio-yes-i-know-i-am.html
Online musings by Nerissa and Katryna Nields. How to Be an Adult. Thursday, February 12, 2015. My Treadmill Studio: Yes, I Know I Am Ridiculous. As I type this, my 6 year old just got up from his fever-induced nap. My 8 year old daughter is bringing me her 5-6 sheets of "homework" I discovered this morning in her knapsack. She watched Harry Potter 5 this morning while my son slept. Now she wants to watch HP7-A, but I insisted she do her homework first. And I? All that was left was writing a check and try...

Mommy Musings: Songs my mama sang me
http://zacsmommymusings.blogspot.com/2013/01/songs-my-mama-sang-me.html
Sunday, January 20, 2013. Songs my mama sang me. Tonight's bedtime was spectacularly better than last nights, but still a bit off-routine from what has become the norm. We had a busy morning at Seattle's Pacific Science Center, then a late nap, late dinner, late bath all added up to tears when we put him into his crib. Need Mama snuggle on couch! He cried, the tears were barely contained by his long lashes. He reached for me. "need Mama! Mama snuggle Thackie. Thackie snuggle Poppy.". Sweet dreams, my son.

Mommy Musings: Oh, the words you will speak!
http://zacsmommymusings.blogspot.com/2012/10/oh-words-you-will-speak.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Oh, the words you will speak! Zac and I have started having conversations, like real conversations with reasoning and requests. Our talk this morning went like this:. Me: "Sure, sweetie, I'll get you some milk.". I had him a cup, fresh from the fridge. He tastes is, shakes the cup, and holds it out to me.). Zac: "No. Cooooooo-wd". Me: "Would you like it to be warmer? I take the milk into the kitchen to pop it into the microwave for a few seconds.). Me: "Yes, Zac? 17 months ago...

Mommy Musings: Bath night
http://zacsmommymusings.blogspot.com/2013/01/bath-night.html
Thursday, January 3, 2013. Z has started tucking his fork away in his shirt when he wants both hands free during a meal. It's both practical and weird. Once his creative muse had left him, he handed me the keyboard and barked an order. "Mama sing! Mama whoa whoa,", hopped up off the toilet and ran into the bathroom for his bath. Brings new meaning to the phrase "rock out with your cock out". Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The beatitudes of beans. Zachary is almos...

Mommy Musings: We've come a long way, baby.
http://zacsmommymusings.blogspot.com/2012/04/weve-come-long-way-baby.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. We've come a long way, baby. I couldn't really put words into the absolute helplessness I felt, being connected to tubes and unable to get to my baby, unable to help him. As I was hanging up the phone, there was the tell-tale sound of a soiled diaper and we changed him while he was still refusing to wake up, and returned to the hospital. I couldn't tell if the diaper was wet AND poopy or just poopy, so I bundled it into a bag and put it in my pocket, and off we went. Even though ...

Mommy Musings: Potty Training
http://zacsmommymusings.blogspot.com/2013/01/potty-training.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Zac has become very interested in the potty. He's asks to sit on the potty, and tells me when he needs a diaper change. We've had multiple success with getting to the potty in time to urinate, no pooping yet. In Zac's world, everything that happens in his diaper is poop. A few weeks ago, he asked me about underpants. Thackie got underpants, mama? Do you want underpants, buddy? Underpants" He gave me his best big boy grin, so enthusiastic! What will you do with underpants?

Mommy Musings: Merry (belated) Christmas!
http://zacsmommymusings.blogspot.com/2013/01/merry-belated-christmas.html
Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Also, this. Because I can. And because he's just SO STINKING CUTE! It seems the reality of Santa's "naughty list" hit home while sitting on Santa's lap. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The beatitudes of beans. My son loves jelly beans. Back in February, his pre-school had a half day, and I met up with another parent for lunch and playtime at an ou. Zs vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds, and not just in swear words! We've come a long way, baby. Zac and I have started h...
