Home Again Home Again
Ember and I made it to Montana! To recap, last week I talked about my anxiety surrounding flying with a toddler and I shared a few travel tips I’d gleaned from other mothers. Let me share how traveling with a one-year-old went…
Feeling Guilty
Ember tumbled down a staircase last week!
I was following right behind her but wasn’t quick enough to catch her fall! She rolled from top to bottom. My heart still thumps like a drum in my chest when I think of it.
Toddler Sleeping (Or Non-Sleeping)
Ember has now slept through the night 3 times...
...in her 18 month life – not 3 nights in a row, but rather once every few months we get a joyous surprise when we wake up, look at the clock, see it is 3 AM, 4AM, 5AM, 6AM and she is still asleep!
The Myth of Sleeping Through the Night
Summer Swim and Splash
Spray bottles, baby pools, water tables and buckets of water all work for splashing and exploring the cooling and magical qualities of water. Is there an easier pastime than cooling oneself off on a hot day in a local pool, swimming hole, lake, or river? Our area is full of natural places to take a dip, wade and play.
