SHHH…don’t tell Avery and Lulu, but this wasn’t my original plan! We brought the swimsuits in hopes of swimming while out of town this weekend. Well, opps! We forgot to pack swimdiapers and I am just too cheap to buy some 2 states away when we have perfectly good ones at home!
So the girls got [...]
Cheating the Hotel Pool & Forgetfulness
Another round of this child
Remember a long time ago when I said Livie had intense separation anxiety that just wouldn’t leave?
Sometimes, those first feelings are decidedly right on target.
This child is anxious.She is worried and concerned.Her family loves her, supports her,but is not able to predict.
This child has siblings with great needsneeds that keep Mommy and Daddy away.Needs that [...]
Ready, Set, It’s Go time…Momma’s got her fight back
I awoke this morning with a renewed sense of purpose. God must have granted me the peace I’ve been begging for as I slept last night. Yes, I actually slept last night, a true rarity in this house. Granted I was up 3 times with Lila, but not once with Livie.
My fighting spirit is [...]
a photo while we wait
Livie was evaluated this morning.Blessedly, the OT, or occupational therapist, had Avery with her when she went to work with Livie to ease the transition. The OT spent an hour with the Lulu and had me fill out a 5 page survey of sensory sorts. No results yet, the OT will observe Livie among her [...]
Oh dear.
The following 5 minute video is a seemingly beautiful clip of Miss Lila attempting to crawl. The video paints a fun scene with big siblings encouraging and being silly right along side baby Lila.
What you can’t hear in the video is Livie. If our camara had audio you would hear incessant screaming. Livie has a [...]
Observing Livie, and Mommy too
rough day for my Livie Lulu today…I made the mistake of observing her during circle time. Livie didn’t know I was in there at first, kinda hard to see Mommy if you’re face down on the floor instead of sitting in your chair like all the other boys and girls. It seems Livie’s teacher, in [...]
Mad Shopper or Mad Mom…you be the judge
How cute would my girls look in these? I know, fabulous right? But, being the frugal wife and mother that I am, I am resisting the urge to buy them. I think….so let’s just pretend that there’s an Adriana, Avery, Livie and Lila head poking from the top of these shirts okay? Awww, aren’t they [...]
Another one bites the dust
Man, I was doing so well! I really thought we might bypass this “right” of babyhood, but it wasn’t meant to be. While cuddling with Lila this morning in bed, I drifted back to sleep, but Miss Lila did not.
Have you guessed?
Thud. Scream.
Lila fell off the bed! I am mortified! Poor baby, one minute [...]
Ready
One breath at a time. Okay, thanks to the urging of a few folks, namely, my sister and a few others, you know who you are, I am prepared to open my eyes.
Yes, I’ve shared here bits and pieces of my Livie wonders. No, I haven’t wanted to truly open up about my thoughts, fears, [...]
