To You - From Love

Dear Son,

I am writing you this letter because I want you to know how much mommy loves you. Which is way beyond words but I will try my best to put it in this format.

Granted mommy can be quite overwhelming, overprotective, see no wrong when it comes to you, and down right out of her mind (as you get older you will think that). I just want you to know that EVERYTHING I do, I do for you. Never in a million years would I ever have thought I would and could feel such love. LOVE exuberates from me to you.

My baby, my son, my firstborn, my first true love, you are worth more to me than anyone else in this world. Yes baby, you even trumped me, your own mother. You are priceless! Archer James my love, you are the best thing to ever happen to me.

Trick And Treat

Syringe - a medical instrument used to inject fluids into the body or draw them from it. 

See how easy that sounds?

1.2.3. -Boom- Medical fluids are given and all should be well. So why is it when my 2 year old sees this magical piece of instrument, he screams bloody murder and run for cover? The sight of this little thing gives him the chills. 

5 Basic Ways To Baby-Proof

To your curious baby, your house is one big adventure just waiting to happen.   While exploration should be encouraged, you will need to make sure you have removed as many hazards as possible before your baby sets off on his journey.

In this guide I will cover the most common household dangers to your baby and how you can prevent them.

Boy's Have A Penis...

Toddler Anatomy 101 is the course of this semester.

Let’s start at the very beginning when the semester started pointing to every and anything. He came to class prepared with a zillion questions, which some I could answer and some I just gave him a puzzling look. The look of disbelief but also questioning myself on how am I going to answer that one. This little 2 year old has had me stumped on several occasion.

My Son - The Embarrassment.

My little one has quiet the temper. Actually he has THE temper.
I really don't know who this child is.

He is not mine.

And I do not claim him when we go out.

Nu-huh.

I don't know who he is. He's not mine.

I keep telling myself (it soothes me) denial is one hell of a mind trick, meanwhile my little monster is calling me mommy every step of the way.

Totally embarrassed by my son actions, I picked him up and put him back in the cart. That triggered an even more dramatic scene he had to present (I should really put him into acting school). He continued to act like a bloody fool, hooting and hollering all through the aisles. I walk on by the innocent bystanders who have to witness this tragic event with a weak and weary smile.

Nightmare On Archer Lane

Yes, my child has been on their best behavior today. 
Said no mom ever with a toddler.

This child of mine is driving me crazy with his commotions over absolutely any and everything. What did I ever do to you son? I'm just here to help and smother you with love, not get these angrily outbursts or silly antics.

Today was a "regular" day or well it should have been.

We have a schedule in the morning. I wake up, make breakfast, wake him up (because God forbid the king wakes up and breakfast is not ready), we eat, then get dressed (I hate that part). Then the last thing we do before leaving the house is brush our teeth. That's usually where shit hits the fan with A.J. (I'm used to it).

But not today, no, no, my son decided to start a little early (as early as when he opened his eyes). I knew it was going down under the moment he woke up and told me with a straight but tired cranky face "no school mommy".

BANNED From Television!

I never thought I would be the mother to ban TV shows (age appropriate of course) but after watching certain shows with my son. It was only a matter of time. I'm all for educational purposes. And even enjoy how some shows put music and teach kids how to act in certain situations. Some I can tolerate because I simply tune them out. Some on the other hand has got to go.

There are 3 television shows that are BANNED in my house. I know, I know, a little extreme, well more than extreme but if my son ever wants to see the light of day, he is not allowed to watch these shows. I was being sarcastic. He will live.

First culprit.

The infamous asshole

He Who Must Not Be Named.

Is the Lord Voldemort of Television.

Trying to make children into pure unacceptable obnoxious brats.

Welcome to Motherhood.

^^ Yes! That's how I really feel about it.

(Whoever said this was great.....LIED!)

Okay. Okay.

I digress, it's really not that bad but it sure as hell has its moments!

Motherhood has been and still is a journey for me (can you believe I am only 2 years in? And only have one?) Kudos to the mommies with more. I salute you all.

Just The Two Of Us.

As my son is getting older, I can't help but wonder who would want to miss out these stages of life. His quest for ever learning and his way of doing things is just simply amazing to me. (As you can tell I am a first time mom)

Being a single mother I have noticed that my son and I are incredibly close. We do everything together (as if I have a choice) but anywhere I go, here is my little man with me. No complaints, I would rather him with me than him with anyone else. With all that being said, I’m seeing the good side of it just being us two.
