There I said it, I hate putting my child to bed. Yes, it is true. That magical time that parents talk about at the end of their day, I fucking hate it. I know, I'm in the minority and some of you are sitting there thinking I have got to be the worst parent on [...]

The Great Binky Take Away
Before we left for Aruba, the binky attachment was at an all time high. We told Cora that when we returned, the binky was going to go bye-bye. We talked about how her friends don't have binkies and she was a big girl now. She basically gave zero shits about those reasoning's and every time we [...]
Baby Brother
I've mentioned before that part of my coming around to the possibility of having another baby has a lot to do with Cora wanting one. Since our big baby talk, it is like she KNOWS something we don't.

I've been raising one kid who is now 14. Her situation, from day one, is unlike any other. Our situation can't be compared to raising Cora or compared to someone else in her classroom. It is our own and different, I've accepted that. I can tell you, starting all over from the beginning with this [...]
Building an immunity
One of the pros to putting Cora in daycare was for her to build her immune system up. To literally have my kid pick up a few colds and other germs so that her little body could learn to fight these things off. We have manage the flu bug, HFM disease and a few colds. [...]
