 During the week I wake-up early enough to shower and get ready, make lunches and check work e-mail before the kids are awake. Then it is time for Juliana to get up, eat and get on her school bus. Then I get the boys ready and drive them to childcare. I return home to my . . . → Read More: I Want My Two Hours

 When Juliana was 2, she would occasionally spend the night at my parent’s house. She enjoyed it and it was a nice break for me. Juliana turned 3 while I was in my first trimester with the boys and I was sick and exhausted all of the time. She started to stay there almost . . . → Read More: First Night Away from Each Other

 There was no doubt in my mind that the transition to big boy beds was going to be a challenge, but I wanted to be wrong. I wanted to believe that it would be as seamless as moving Juliana to a bed…but I had little hope we would get that lucky again. My two . . . → Read More: Just This Once I Wanted to be Very Wrong

 We knew it was time to move Ruslan and Wyatt to big boy beds, but we weren’t looking forward to it…too much freedom for 2 wild boys. When we moved Juliana to a big bed, nothing changed. We put her in bed, she went to sleep, and she stayed in bed until I went to get . . . → Read More: Big Boy Beds

 I usually write separate posts about the boys, but so much of what they are doing is the same right now so it made sense to combine. The boys are playing together a lot more – they play in the kitchen, they play cars, build, etc. I love that we are finally getting the . . . → Read More: Ruslan and Wyatt 3.0

 After almost 6-1/2 years of motherhood I still really miss sleeping in on the weekends. When Juliana was a toddler I could wait to get out of bed until she was awake and then she would happily watch a movie while I showered and got ready. But that is not an option with the . . . → Read More: Mornings – Why Must They be so Early

 Juliana gets fixated on a tv series and watches every episode on Netflix and then she moves on to another one for the next week or two and she will eventually circle back and repeat. This week Dinosaur Train is the series of choice.
Sunday afternoon she started to watch an episode while I was making lunch . . . → Read More: Random Juliana

 I saw the daycare phone number on my phone and sighed. It was 8:30 and I had only dropped them off 40 minutes earlier, how was one of them sick? As soon as I answered I could hear him screaming in the background and the voice of the women on the line was unsteady. . . . → Read More: One of those Phone Calls Every Parent Dreads

 Wyatt has an assortment of “friends” that he needs to have in his crib at night. He takes an inventory and requests any that are missing before he will lie down. He usually falls asleep with 2 of them held close to his face. I previously wrote about the lamb he calls kitty. A . . . → Read More: A Horse Named Moo

 We crib tented with Juliana when she dove out of her crib before she turned two and that worked well for us. So it wasn’t a question of if we would crib tent with the boys, but when to do it. I decided to add the tents last week for a few reasons. The . . . → Read More: Cribs Tents for the Boys
