The Boy is blessed with copious amounts of toys. Mountains of fun, interactive, learning-centric, "important for his development" toys.

My Baby in Daycare? My Aching Heart!
This weekend I had to come to terms with the fact that my baby is going to have to go to daycare when I return to work. BIG SIGH. I'm not exactly in the best "work-at-home" profession. I only wish I could Skype into my Grade 5 classroom and teach in my pjs...although I'm sure "SIT … [Read more...]

So it’s true…my husband really doesn’t hear the baby cry???
I was chatting with a friend a few weeks ago and we got into a friendly discussion (ahem) about our husbands and how they never hear the baby cry at night. NEVER!In fact, in both of our cases, our husbands have to be repeatedly spoken to and nudged (ok, kicked) in order to wake up, even if the baby … [Read more...]
