Quick Funny

After her bath tonight, Laura was standing completely naked in front of the fan in her room.  “Feel good”.  I just laughed.

Big Morning

We had a big morning.  We left the house around 9am to go to River Falls.  The first stop was to UWRF so Robert could sign the insurance check.  From there we got the oil changed, since there is a $3 discount if it is done before 10am.  We also bought stamps, took the check […]

Discipline…

I have been considering for a while now how to handle discipline with Laura.  Most of the time when she is misbehaving/throwing fits it is because she is tried or wanting attention (jealousy).  I understand where she is coming from.  I know that when she isn’t tired that she wouldn’t do these things.  It is […]

Potty Training

So I think we are going to start trying to potty train Laura this week.  I think she is ready for it.  Plus, I know she would love all the extra attention that will come with it.  If she refuses or tells me in her own way that she isn’t ready, we’ll back off.  I’ll […]

Thankful

This past week, Robert saw on Facebook that one of his high school classmates was most likely living out one of his worst nightmares.  He has a daughter the same age as Laura.  She was at daycare and fell off a slide.  She was flown to Region’s.  She ended up passing away last night around […]

Crazy!

One of Laura’s (and mine) favorite books is Love You Forever by Robert Munch.  For anyone not familiar with the book, it chronicles the love between mother and child through the years.  In one part, the boy is two years old doing things a typical two year old does.  The page ends with a line […]

The untitled post

I have no idea what to title tis post, so it’s going to just be untitled.  Laura had a humorous moment this morning.  She told me she wanted a pop-tart for breakfast.  I had no problem with it.  I got one out of the closet for her.  She wanted to hold it.  She then informed […]

Home Again

The drive home yesterday took a little longer than normal.  We made it half-way home (Black River Falls) before the kids needed a break.  After lunch, we made it to Eau Claire before Warren had another meltdown.  We stopped at Oakwood Mall in Eau Claire.  The have a great play area that Laura could run […]

We didn’t walk that much, but by the time this weekend is over we will have driven more than 1,000 miles.  We had friends get married in Green Bay and Appleton this weekend.  One was Friday and the other was Saturday (thank goodness they were on different days!).  To make things a little simpler (and […]

Where do they come from?

Laura has suddenly started saying she is making a nest.  She will lay out her blankie and the sit on it.  I have no idea where this came from!  We haven’t even really talked about birds or nests.  She knows the word from her computer (n is for nest), but that is all.  Totally baffles […]
