This past Tuesday was so beautiful, almost seventy degrees. Adrianna and I enjoyed playing outside. The snow is still here, but thankfully a lot of it finally had a chance to melt.

Let the Manipulation Begin
It is amazing to me how quickly Adrianna is learning how to manipulate us. She’s so sneaky! Here are some of the ways she tries to keep us in her room or call us back to her room at bedtime. She’ll hand me a stuffed animal and instruct me to “ting.” I then have to […]
Pat Pat Pause
Our childcare provider told us about a child calming technique that her father-in-law swears by: Pat, pat, pause. Adrianna has fallen in love with it. It basically consists of us lightly patting her diapered bottom in rythmic fashion of pat, pat, pat followed by a pause. When Janette first used it on Adrianna when trying […]
Privacy Please
I was sitting on the floor watching some tv when I heard Adrianna making some grunting noises. I looked over at her and sure enough, the red faced expression she wore indicated that she was working on leaving a load in her diaper. When she saw me glance at her, she pointed in my direction […]
Well Baby Checkup
Adrianna had her 18 month “Well Baby Checkup.” Once again, we are just a few months behind since she is 21 months old. I guess since we started behind we just had to continue the trend, right? She is 28.4 pounds which puts her in the 80th percentile for weight. She is 35 inches tall […]
New Red Shoes
Our childcare provider was at a nearby thrift store with Adrianna and the kids yesterday when Adrianna spotted a pair of little red shoes. She instantly fell in love with them and had her boots (bits) off and the red shoes on her feet within the blink of an eye. They are even her size! […]
Here a Chicken, There a Chicken
Adrianna has several “Little People” sets now. A Noah’s Ark, a Farm, and now a Zoo (from her Nanna and Grandpa). This means that she has over forty little animals. (The zoo set has one animal for each letter of the alphabet.) Her farm set has a chicken in it. She knows how to say […]
Crackers and Applesauce
We went to Perkins today for lunch. We ordered Adrianna some applesauce as a part of her meal. The waiter also gave her some crackers to snack on while we waited on our meal. She likes crackers and she also likes applesauce. So why not dip the crackers in the applesauce. At least I think […]
Crib Climbing
Adrianna cries in the morning when she is anxious for us to wake up and rescue her from her crib. In our sleepy grogginess, we don’t always respond right away. (Middle of the night cryings are a different story; they find us leaping out of bed with a sudden rush as we go see what […]
Why Wear Just One…
When you can wear them ALL around your neck? She later did the same thing with my (clean) underwear.
