One of the things I am least looking forward to about labor this time around is leaving Dasha behind when we go to the birthing center. I've barely reconciled myself to leaving her in nursery at church! . . .

I've been trying to come up with healthy, tasty lunches for my toddler and me. Most days she eats a banana or grapes, some frozen peas (she's teething right now so the peas feel good on her gums), . . .

My nineteen-month-old just used the potty chair for the first time today! I'm so proud of her. We've been encouraging her to sit on the potty for a couple of months now, but she's never actually gone . . .

One of my favorite lazy-day things to do with Dasha is watch old skating shows my sister and I used to tape off the television. I've always loved figure skating--one of my dreams when I was little was . . .

Well, the fun bubble-blowing I had planned didn't exactly work out. In the first place, our landlord's employees apparently decided to switch the nursery sprinklers around a bit, so when I went to go . . .

I've been trying to come up with creative ways to beat the heat around here this week. Since I don't care to walk a mile and a half in this weather (while pushing a double stroller), and then pay three . . .

Tomorrow my baby will be one month old! It's hard to believe a month has gone by already ... last week seemed interminable, but the first three weeks flew by. I'm hoping the next two follow suit! Not . . .

My husband leaves today for his big PE exam (to get his Professional Engineering license, for those who aren't familiar with engineer-speak). He'll be back tomorrow night, but in the meantime . . .

We've started "potty-encouraging" our 17-month-old this weekend (yes, I coined the term myself). We're not officially training, especially since we have a new baby coming in about a . . .
