One More Parenting Tid Bit
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009You know you’re a parent when your son says ‘more triangles?’ and you proceed to wash your fingers and pick triangle cheese crackers out of the Chex Mix bag!
Parenting Tid Bit
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009You know you’re a parent when you heat up your lunch twice and still end up eating cold food… Not a complaint just an observation.

Thank you little man…
Attention!
Friday, January 16th, 2009At 2 1/2 plus years of age Sebastian has recently been picking up words and sentances from people and movies like some kind of automated human recording device. There are a lot of funny examples and luckily we have been able to lock down the occassional potty mouth so there haven’t been any shocking outbursts… yet.
Ratatouille has become one of SD’s favorite movies. And though he refers to it as ‘Mouse Movie’ (said very quickly so that it sounds like one word) we always know what he means when we start hearing ‘Mouse Movie, Mouse Movie, Mouse Movie’. There is a scene in Gusteau’s restaurant where the character Linguine stands in front of the kitchen staff to give a speech and he calls everyone in a circle by saying ‘attention’! Well, for whatever reason this has caught on with Sebastian and at any given time during the day you may see him hoist himself up onto a chair or the couch and in his boyish way shout out ‘attention attention’ as to summon us to a meeting. We are still waiting to see what all the hype is about as he has yet to get into the meat and potatoes of what he has to say!
Ah kids…
Hey Baby!
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009So they always say ‘watch what you say around your kids’, ‘don’t curse’ etc… Sebastian has been going up to his Mom for about a month and a half now and saying ‘hey baby’! hahaha I wonder where he heard that from…
Recently SD has been waking up at about 6 am and coming downstairs to see if there are any signs of life in the house. He will always come over to my side of the bed and try and lean up as close as he can get to me and scream out ‘hey baby’! Yes, that is my new wake up call. It never fails to put a smile on my face and how can you resist pulling the little guy into bed.
So today while picking Sebastian up at preschool, Ms. Valerie told me that he has been saying ‘hey baby’ to the teachers! hahaha This one is smooth already and he doesn’t even know it…
We Are In Red Alert Mode!
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009Horse head blankie has been M.I.A. since early in the A.M. and if not for horse head blankie backup we would be calling in the blankie crisis management team. Alicia & I have turned the house upside down to no avail though we both know that lurking in some corner or stuffed in the back of one of the cabinets is a lonely and terrified baby blankie!
I tried to my best abilities to put Sebastian down with a stand in, Blue Bear. It seemed to work as I slid out of his room giving a smile and wave as I always do… Before my foot hit step number two on the staircase I heard a bone screeching scream and a thud as his leg landed square against the side of the wall. That was clearly a blue bear protest! Believing the little guy would calm down and eventually fade off into lala land was wishful thinking and foolish at best…
The eventual solution was the one I had been dreading and hoping against. As I dug through the dirty laundry pile all I could think about was the end game. Yes his freshly washed bed sheets may get quickly tainted again with funk but if that’s what it takes to get today’s nap in well then so be it…
Sleep tight buddy…
Grandpa Visits From Richmond
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Today Grampa drove to Raleigh for a visit with his grandchildren. It was the first time he was able to hold Clover so that was a treat for both of them. Of course she gave her usual smiles and short baby noises as he held her and talked to her.
The little guy has always had a connection with his Grandfather and was very excited to see him when he came in the door. Charlotte went crazy as well!
It was a nice afternoon of lunch and conversation. Sebastian played and showed off his toys and especially made a point to show everyone his crayons or as he likes to call them ‘cray wons’. He always loves putting a slight twist on new words. Bananas are ‘da nanas’. ‘One more’ is ‘mom more’. Orange used to be ‘naaaa’. And red was ‘de’… And the list goes on.
Watching children grow up is such a gift. Thank you Sebastian & Clover for giving us that giftand so much more!
Dear Son
Saturday, December 13th, 2008First of all thank you for the pure joy you bring into our lives. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined how much happiness a little baby boy could bestow upon our family.
Now, I wish this digital life journal had been started 2 1/2 years earlier but you will just have to look back upon that time of your life in the handwritten journals which we will certainly show you some day. The words will make you laugh & smile as you read about the fun times and experiences we had as we all grew and bonded as a family.
12 weeks and 2 days ago you became an older brother and while the adjustment has been strained at times it is already clear to us that you are going to make an incredible older brother. Any younger sibling would be lucky to call you their older brother.
So Sebastian… Remember to always be good to yourself. Always be good to others. Set your goals high and your standards higher. Finally never ever stop dreaming but don’t just be a dreamer. Take life in your hands and own it.
