Behold: The Emily Bear in 2008 and 2009. She’ll probably be a princess tonight, but she wanted to dress up in the bear costume first. Last year’s bear adventure just might be my favorite blog post of all time.
And Jacob was a peapod last year. A tiny, six-month-old peapod. This year, he will probably be The Jacob Bear. He’s a furry, roaring, hugging, mildly destructive mammal, so this feels appropriate.
I just have to tell you that this week has been a bit crazy. Emily has given up naps (Yikes!) and proven that she needs to be busy in the afternoons.
And perhaps needs her walls painted in chalkboard paint.
As we work out our new schedule, I think the afternoon will be more peaceful, and we’ll all be more content and productive. I hope!
On the upside: Emily is potty-trained! This morning, I heard her taking off her diaper in her room and having a conversation with herself: It’s panty time! Alright! How about Dora panties? Okay. That’s fine.
But I digress.
Happy Halloween!!!

Hooray for potty training! Hopefully that makes the loss of naps easier to live with.

Need a mom opinion…thinking about making my blog private what are your thoughts, are you nervous for info on your kids being on the web and their pictures. I have been kind of creeped out lately. I need other mom bloggers thoughts?

The growling Emily Bear post from last year just might be one of my favorites of your all your blog posts too. : ) I hope you had a fun holiday.

Ok, I happened on your blog randomly while looking for something else, but I had to stop to say my “baby” is 22 and reading about your Emily and “panty time” made me feel really, really happy. Thank you!
