About Me

Let's start out by saying, I'm not a writer. I did not go to school for journalism, nor did I even take any extra writing classes. What you see here is what I learned in your basic high school English classes. I actually majored in Music Business, which did nothing to equip me for writing a blog. I'm a stay at home mom of one 18 month old little boy and he is my world. I am not, nor have I ever been one of those people who reads all of the books, or goes to conferences, or keeps up with the latest parenting trends. I am, however, your normal, young, learn-as-you-go mother who delights in the challenges and can look at life as a collection of moments (often entertaining moments) that create an unpredictable, unforgettable, and unmatchable journey. As I stated in my first post, the glorious struggles, embarrassing moments, joyous successes, and stressful days of being a mom are felt by every single mother, perfect or not, so let’s share, laugh, learn, scream, smile, and cry together.

My Best Friend is ORANGE!

If you are a parent, you know that there are moments when your little one will do something so darn cute that it makes your heart swell. Being the "I cry at anything" type person that I am, it makes me tear up. I've had a couple of those moments in recent days.

Carter has chosen a buddy. Growing up I had my blankie that I called Nigh Night. Nice name, right? I had issues naming things... I also had a white cat named Purple Terreda. Anyway, I loved that thing and could not sleep without it. My husband had a special pal as well, Ernie. We have both been hoping that our little guy would latch on to a best friend because we both have fond memories of ours... And like I said, he did! Ernie! Like father like son I guess. It's so cute!!! He carries him around, sleeps with him, tries to share his pacifier with his giant, "I cannot close" mouth, which never works, and when he's tired of carrying him everywhere he sits him up in a chair to rest.

My favorite though is that he hugs him and says "Awwww!" It's so stinking cute! He has inflection in his voice as well, which makes it even funnier. He almost sings it! It's so fun watching him play with his new found, somewhat creepy looking, orange friend.

The picture is of my tear up moment. He put his two buddies up in the chair, climbed in, put them both in his lap, and sat their hugging them while of course saying "Awwwww!"

Maybe Ernie will help him learn to share, because he has certainly not mastered that skill yet!!

Do your little ones have a favorite toy or blankie?
