Lessons in Motherhood

I include these angelic pictures as a counterpoint to the story that I’m about to tell which is none to flattering. Let me just cut to the chase….one of these angels (and I have a suspicion as to which one) put a crayon in my dishwasher. This isn’t a problem if I had [...]

I think that Sophia’s milk obsession has been well documented on this site. She is truly crazy about milk, but only warm milk. Cold milk just meets with a pout before she runs to open the microwave and demand that it be heated. Well, tonight she hit her sister repeatedly. First, [...]

Tonight was…what’s the word…crappy, maybe? Fifi took a late nap. Then, she woke up around 4pm in what I can only describe as a hideous mood. Within a 30 minute period, she probably had 10 meltdowns each averaging 2-3 minutes. There was barely a moment where she was not face down [...]
