Meeting people on an Army post is much like meeting people in college. Everybody always has the same conversation. In college, it’s about your hometown, your major, and whether or not you’re involved with anyone. In the Army, it’s about the soldier’s MOS (occupation), where you’re from, and how you and your soldier decided to [...]

Ready.
So much for writing more often. Time to stretch the writing muscles and try again!
Quite a bit has happened since the last time I’ve been here at the ol’ blog….

It’s a GIRL!!!!!

Updates
I thought I’d start with the kidney thing. My doctor did put me on antibiotics, and I finally came around to taking them. My pharmacist went over the specifics about what possible harm could come to the baby with me. She’s fantastic, and I really trust her. (If you’re interested, the insert with the antibiotic [...]

Logic
Our conversation this morning:
J: Can I have a snack?
D: You need some breakfast first.
J: No… You know why I don’t need waffles or a sausage biscuit?
D: *shakes head no*

Oy, the questions!
I know that the questions are how Jet learns. The teacher in me gets that. However, the mommy in me is driven up the wall by the questions.
It’s not the number of questions, per se… it’s the repetition. It seems like he’s not satisfied until he’s asked the same question ten times in a row.

Spelling
Jet really doesn’t have that many “baby” words anymore. He’s straightened most of them out, and corrects us when we say “lasterday”. However, he consistently replaces the “re-” sound at the beginning of words with a “yer” sound.
He’s also very into spelling words.
This morning I received this query: “Mommy, how do you [...]

I have discovered the elixir of life.
I would package and sell it, but someone else already has.
I’ve been experiencing quite a bit of nausea during the day with this baby, and have struggled to find things to eat that sound and taste good. I seem to have developed a reaction to watermelon and cantaloupe, so those are out, which is very, [...]

It’s a miracle
The house is clean! Well, most of it, anyway. The parts that people see. (And we ALL know that those are the only parts that really count, don’t we?) Considering that I’ve been actively sitting on my duff all week, this is a bit of a major accomplishment. Sometimes I just need a motivating factor, [...]

Little boy joy
One of the more interesting things I’ve discovered lately about Jet is that the boy absolutely has to spend some time running around like mad, preferably outside. He literally just has so much energy to burn that he becomes miserable, as does everyone around him, if he’s not allowed to go crazy at least once or [...]
