It really isn't that hard

Is it really asking a lot of a parent to sit with there kids under 5 while they have a bath? Statistics or not, 1 child drowning in a tub is too many. Why must a parent all of the sudden feel the need to pick up the house at the very moment your child enters the tub? It's silent, parents!! You cannot hear them drown. I don't care if you can see them from the other room. I really don't. Being in the same room with them is what is most important. Would it really be worth the house being clean if your child dies b/c you just had to pick up the house right then?? Doubt it, but apparently it would take something as drastic as that to happen to have a parent see this costly mistake.

Who needs presents??

A search for the perfect birthday gift for my now 2 year old didn't go quite as I had planned. He doesn't really need anything, and he is still too young to ask for anything, but I still wanted to get him something. I have been to Toys r Us, Target, Wally World, A hole in the wall toy store, Freddies and Linens n Things. From all that running around, I found a stuffed Giraffe, crayola color wonder pens and paper, and a set of sheets for his "new" bed. I made a little cake and some cupcakes for him that turned out awful. Thank goodness he is only 2 and will have no recollection of his big day.

Birthday boy

Today he is 2.







Here he is sleeping in his own bed for the first time.
