Farewell, my Batman cape wearing love

Conor is moving. Today is his last day. I am heartbroken.



And that's all I have to say about that.

Even two year olds need a victory now and then

Maybe there's some rule against looking put together in the toddler room. Let's just say I know Henry's preferred brand of diaper, now. You'll have to use your imagination because there's no way for me to put a picture up without some sort of federal agency investigating me.

This morning, Henry walked into the learning center with a new look. His hair was combed, he had on a shirt and a puffy coat (there's still snow on the ground in Chicago, after all). His socks were perfectly cuffed and his shoes were velcroed tight. On his face, Henry wore a defiant smile. Where one might have expected a pair of pants, there were none.

As he was escorted to the toddler room by both parents and his four month old sister, it wasn't completely clear what had gone down before Henry left the house, but it was very, very clear that he had won.

Daylight Savings

This whole losing an hour thing is killing me. I'm going to need a few more shots if anyone expects me to bring my A game to circle time.

I'm watching you, MacKenzie

Miss Susan might have missed it but I didn't.

It wasn't cool to take the drum Kendall was playing with while Miss Susan set up our apples and Cheerios this morning and it certainly wasn't cool to pull her hair and run away with said drum while Kendall rolled on the ground crying. Don't you know her hair has enough problems without your help?

Miss Susan thought she was dealing with a simple sharing problem and thought she was doing the right thing by merely taking the drum away from you. I know better.

I saw you take the seat Kendall had already claimed for snack time while she was washing her hands, too. I was more than happy to sit by Kendall, in her new seat, far away from your end of the table.

What is your damage? Why are you picking on Kendall so much today? You know what? It doesn't matter. I don't trust you anymore. You're violent, sneaky and you can't share. I hope you and Julian have a very happy life together.

Accessories are everything

You can say whatever you want about red and pink not matching. I say Coach goes with everything.
