It’s great to be able to say that Jackson is eating well. That should definitely be noted, because he is; he’s eating like a champ. Not putting any weight on (because he’s too much of a busy-body) but eating very well, nonetheless. To reference t...

My son and I traveled from Baltimore, MD to Atlanta, GA last week to visit my parents, my in-laws, and some friends we hadn’t seen in a while. I have serious anxiety issues when it comes to traveling with my son. At eleven months old, he is wiggl...

you're so right, and i couldn't agree more... "WE as women don't have to go for the okie dokie when it comes to your opinion." i have found, in my little bit of experience as a "military wife" (aaaahhhh) that a fairly large number of military wive...

I'm glad you found a friend! A mommy friend! When i read the part, "i'm interested to know... how do you reconcile that with what your husband does? i guess what i mean is, in your experience, do you find yourself standing alone on issues?" , I...

What are your children's names and birth dates?
jackson 4-22-08
Are you considering having more?
eeeekkk!!!!
How would you describe your parenting philosophy?
one day at a time seems to work for most people... me, i'm one hour at a time.
What's your favorite parenting book (if any)?
there are books on this?
What are your family’s favorite books and toys?
any of the cardboard books so that jackson can chew on them, and most hard plastic toys so that jackson can chew on those as well.
What are your family's favorite foods?
oh goodness, this is a loaded question because my son didn't eat for the first 6 months of his life. horrible GERD combined with an allergy to my breast milk forced jackson to teach himself not to eat. so in terms of fave foods... whatever he'll eat, we give him.
What are your family's favorite places to hang out?
parks... dog parks with our 85 lb lab. anywhere that is loud enough to withstand jackson's noise.
What one adjective would you choose to describe your household?
poopy
Describe your most humbling parenting moment.
i'm humbled every day with my son.... it's not possible for me to single out a moment.
Who are you looking to meet on The Playground?
anyone and everyone!

one nap, two naps, NO naps... OOPS!

It’s great to be able to say that Jackson is eating well. That should definitely be noted, because he is; he’s eating like a champ. Not putting any weight on (because he’s too much of a busy-body) but eating very well, nonetheless.

To reference the superb children’s author, Sandra Boynton, I title this post “one nap, two naps, no naps… OOPS,” honoring her brilliant,… Continue

Dear God, make it STOP!

My son and I traveled from Baltimore, MD to Atlanta, GA last week to visit my parents, my in-laws, and some friends we hadn’t seen in a while.

I have serious anxiety issues when it comes to traveling with my son. At eleven months old, he is wiggly, squiggly, and unrelenting when he wants something. I know, I know, sounds like a “typical” (almost) 1 year old. I promise; he’s not.

My anxiety stems from traveling with him during a time when he… Continue

french press coffee friend

jackson and i had our first official playdate this morning. it was delightful, to say the very least. my new friend and her husband have two little girls, ages 4 and (almost) 3. we played, we coffeed, we talked... i'm honestly not sure who enjoyed the visit more, jackson or me.

as time went on and my new friend and i got more comfortable getting to know one another, the typical "mom subjects" of discipline, schedules/routines, siblings took a turn to deeper, dare i say, political viewpoints. an… Continue

snow days bring out the crazy

as of now, annapolis has roughly 6 inches of snow on the ground with fresh powder dancing around in the air and more to come this evening. surprisingly for this region of the country, a snow day was declared. schools closed; and for me, this meant that i had another day with paul around at home, which in turn made for another set of hands to take care of jackson's poopy diapers. yay for snow days! mommy likes!
i'm finding though, that regardless of the region you live in, snow days bring out the… Continue

not-so-delicate a balance

if my last post didn't convince you that jackson has turned into a ferocious animal, perhaps this one will. today jackson has tipped over an end table, pulled a febreeze plug-in out of its socket and tried to feed it to the dog, and toppled a nightstand over onto himself (the nightstand was home to 2 books, a telephone, lamp, remote, and full glass of water). jackson accomplished all of these actions before 8:04 am.
apparently 10 mon… Continue
