Night-time dryness training…..
I would love for Gaby to be out of nappies completely, by the time this bub arrives… at the moment she is only in them at night, so it isn’t too bad - but at the moment her morning nappy removal strongly disagrees with my morning sickness, and always sets me running for the bathroom!
I’ve noticed Gaby wakes up around 1.30am, so I asked her today if it is because she needs to do wees or poos, and she said it is… I’m not sure if it REALLY is or not, but after her saying that, I went & bought her some Pull Up’s, and told her that if she wakes up in the middle of the night to do wees or poos, that she can go to the toilet & do it, that she doesn’t NEED to do it in her nappy. She seemed to like the idea when we were talking about it - I made it clear that it is FINE if she doesn’t wake up to go, and goes in her nappy (well, her Pull Up!), I also told her that if she wants me to take her to the toilet, that is fine Read the rest of this entry »
A trip to the dermatologist
Today has been quite a day. The morning started off beautifully. We were on time leaving to get the the dermatologist. Ian & Sofi were safely tucked away w/ Grandma & Papap. The weather was beautiful. Everything was GREAT!
Until…
We were 5 minutes away. Just 5 minutes AND…she pukes. Everything. I don’t think anything was left from breakfast. We were doing so good. She was crying so I pulled over & did the best I could to clean her up. Thank God we have Read the rest of this entry »
Why and How You Should Wear Your Baby
This post is part of “All About Babywearing” Month (which has extended into November).
Why should you wear your baby?
Newborn- Imagine you are a happy fetus. You spend your days bouncing around gently in your mommy’s tummy, being bounced to sleep gently by the movements. It is warm and cozy in there, the perfect temperature, and you can drink all that water around you for fun, since there really isn’t anything else to do. Being curled up tight is pretty comfy too.

She Be Illin’
The past 48 hours have been like Newborn Redux around here: incessant crying, a constant need to be held, and night waking at 1 hour intervals. It’s Larissa 2.0 except this time I suppose I could look on the bright side and take into account that at least I’m not concurrently recovering from a C-section (although if this keeps up, an elective lobotomy may be in order). Our poor baby girl has dodged the H1N1 Virus, but is still in the menacing grasp of one of its minions.
Just look at these sick Read the rest of this entry »
Bad Mama 101
Jacob had a slice of leftover pizza for lunch today and he is not a crust person (like his Mama) so he left it on his table and came to sit where Violet and I were, of course Miss Violet crawled right over there and snatched it up – I’m so awful! A good mommy would have grabbed it out of her hands but instead I took a picture!!
Of course when I finally did take it away from her Read the rest of this entry »
The Ghost of Babywearing Posts Past
This post is part of “All About Babywearing” Month (which turned into months…).
As we continue on with “All About Babywearing” Month which can taken over the beginning of November as well, I am reliving my babywearing past on DDL. I have posted quite a few entries about Babywearing, or photos of us in a favorite carrier. Here are some oldies but goodies… Read the rest of this entry »

So, How’s Danny Doing?
I’ve had a few people ask me this lately that follow the website, so here goes.
Really, it’s a question that eludes me every time. Therapists, coming to visit every week or two, ask at the top of sessions and it stops me cold. How do you answer that? My brain scrambles to find an answer, something definitive, something relevant … something.
“He’s great!” doesn’t cut it, it’s too vague.
“He’s teething and is particularly crabby, thanks.” True, but not really what they’re going for.
“The same?” may also be true but doesn’t really Read the rest of this entry »
R.I.P. "Bossman"
He’s gone. Boss was the heart of our family. He was given a 2nd chance when Ian got him 11 years ago. A skinny little puppy that was malnourished turned in to a beautiful dog & best friend as well as a “little brother”. Our family will most definitely feel this loss Read the rest of this entry »
Simma Down Na!
Or, Simmer Down Now for those not down with the Cheri Oteri.
You may have noticed I am slowing it down a bit. I extended the “All About Babywearing” Month into November to give myself more time to write the reviews. I still have quite a few carriers to review, and they are exciting! Between my son getting 8, EIGHT! teeth all at once, him not sleeping a wink at night unless he is being held or in our bed, and planning his first birthday party, things have just gotten too busy to be blogging all day. So, I am gonna Simma Down Na and post when I can. I don’t want to pressure myself to have a post up RIGHT AT 9 AM SHARP like I used to. If it isn’t written by then, it isn’t, and it will make it up when I feel like it. Because why? Because it Read the rest of this entry »
