Thomas the Tank Engine

Daily Photo Some of you were curious what the little feller dressed as last week, so here you go. He waffled between Thomas and Batman, so I think next year will see the end of the toddler-themed costumes. Sigh. It all goes so fast, doesn't it? [ImageAttachment]

Leaves

This weekend was a very trying one for me as a parent. Steven is becoming increasingly willful (and I use "willful" as a way to disguise outright defiance), and every clever parenting tactic seems to fail. He vehementally insists on performing every task by himself, in his own way, and on his...

Future Football Hall of Famers, + One Engineer

Daily Photo In celebration of being knee-deep in football season, and the weather finally feeling like football season, I am posting this photo of Steven with his cousins from our annual camping trip in Ohio over the weekend. Although he couldn't keep up with the older boys athletically, Steven earned...

Signs of Fall

Yesterday I flipped my own personal calendar to another year, one that is looming ever so much closer to the big 4-0. It was a good day...cake, badminton, football on the tele (good thing I'm not a Colts fan), and we couldn't have asked for nicer weather. But something about it made me pause...

The Makings of a Practical Jokester, or Embarrassing Toddler Moments, Part IV

I haven't had an installment of my less-than-favorite Steven moments in a while, but not because they are lacking. Oh no. Like the other day when I took him to get new shoes... I finally found some tennis shoes with yellow in them, so I rounded him up to try them on. When he plopped down on the floor...

The Yellow Kid

Daily Photo Yes, Crocs are all the rage, and yes, I try to avoid being a conformist...especially when the current "rage" is this weird looking. But Steven has longed for these shoes since the beginning of the summer, and he finally wore me down yesterday. I had to resist the urge to try some...

The Indiana State Fair

Daily Photo Yesterday was an unbelievably gorgeous day in the corn-belt, which is amazing considering it is mid-August, so we hopped the fair train and headed to the Indiana State Fair to take full advantage of the lack of humidity. I've taken Steven to the fair every summer, including when he was...

Should reprimand. Would rather give high-five.

Ok, so I've had more than my fair share of traffic tickets. It's not something I'm proud of. From disregarding a stop sign to not wearing a seat belt; from illegal left-hand turns to just plain speeding, I've had a ticket in every region of this state...plus that one in Ohio. The only...

One of Many Lessons I've Learned in 4 Years

Daily Photo Steven got his first mosquito bite over the weekend. Yes, he's almost 4, and he's never been bitten by a mosquito. I have no idea how he managed it. Of course, the welt is squarely on the boniest part of his elbow, possibly the worst place to get bit except for maybe the ankle. Or...

Night and Day

Daily Photo I'm not sure where the term "terrible twos'" came from. Steven was an absolute angel right up until about mid-way into his threes. Now that he's two months away from his fours, we are in a full-blown attitude meltdown. Who is this kid? I haven't received any concerning...
