The older Jet gets, the less he says things that are toddler-ish and adorable. Let’s document them for posterity, shall we?
Bref-tuss: n; the first meal eaten, especially in the morning (ex. “I wanna waffle for breftuss.”)
Cooled up: v; the process of lowering the temperature of an object (ex. “I will eat dat waffle after it [...]

Hooray for Eggplants!
I just have to brag on myself in this post. I’ve discovered the local Farmers’ Market, and it makes me happy.
Last week, on Thursday (the Farmers’ Market Day), I picked up blueberries, cherry tomatoes, corn on the cob, cantaloupe, and eggplants. The corn was fabulous last night as part of Jet’s birthday dinner, the blueberries [...]

To my sweet son
Three years ago today, our lives were changed forever when you arrived.
It seems like this should be a long, loving, detailed entry about how wonderful you are and how enriched our lives are since you’ve been a part of them.
The truth is, I’m just speechless. You are the reason I have a slight [...]

Someday
Remember the post I wrote about Planning for Jet’s Birthday this week? I found an ABC article that illustrates perfectly the outrageous lengths people will go to in order to “celebrate” their child’s birthday. I wonder how many of the people in that article can really afford those types of things, and how many are [...]

Rain, rain, go away
Doesn’t the rain know that we have swim lessons this week? It could have at least waited until Friday. (We only have swim lessons Monday-Thursday.) It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, too. I wonder if we get make-up days? I know they can’t control the weather, but it bugs me that I paid for eight days [...]

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…
Jet is doing, well, swimmingly (go ahead and groan, it’s ok) in his swim class. For a kid who was terrified of water, he warmed up to it quickly.
On Monday, the first day, we arrived about 10 minutes early, and his teacher was with another class. The lifeguard said we could go try the kiddie [...]

Britain’s Got Talent
Have you seen these? They’re incredible. You have to watch them all the way through.
First, there’s the completely adorable 6-year-old Connie singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. It brings tears to my eyes to hear her, and you could have heard a pin drop in the audience. Listen to Simon at the end — he really [...]

Planning for Birthday No. 3
My baby boy isn’t a baby anymore. He’ll be three next Wednesday!
Do you remember this post where I so excited because I bought this really cool car for Jet for his birthday? Well… we’re rethinking the brilliance of that purchase. You see, we don’t have a paved driveway at our house (it’s just dirt and [...]

Money, money, money
I was so excited about this, I just had to share… I’ve discovered the world of bloggers who blog about saving money/frugality/financial peace, etc.
I know I’ve linked to Mir at WantNot several times. She is fabulous, and scouts out great deals on stuff. As she usually says, those deals are great, if you were already [...]
