The pain of haircuts

Haircuts are an adventure. From the age of about 1 year… I’m sure it also depends on whether the child enjoys the process. But, I have to say: my son is NOT a haircut fan. So, it’s a little heartbreaking for me… I love going to the barber shop and getting my hair cut. And, sadly for my son, he has …

That First Day

I remember those first few hours, those first few weeks, and months after my son was born. I was so scared that I was going to do something that would maim,  cause injury, or damage him in some way. Even putting his shirts on was always a scary adventure for me, as I was afraid of snapping his tiny little head …

Talking

My son is saying more words every day. I, for one, am very happy about it. It isn’t such a guessing game when I know what he wants or needs. When he thinks the food is too hot, he now says: ” HOT HOT !!” When he is cold, he says: ” COLD!” His vocabulary continues to grow–he can say …

Week in Review

Well another week down, and more lessons learned. Bath time has become more fun, as splashing and dumping water out is the new toy of fun for my son.

So, some days at this age can go like this : The 2-year-old starts the morning by screaming, “No, me do it!” when you pour the milk on his cereal. Then …

Separation anxiety

Going through separation issues with your child is tough, like leaving them at daycare, or with a sitter, or with the grandparents. When my son was a baby, he was completely unaware that he was a separate being. But, over time, he developed physical, mental, and emotional skills. As he grows more confident, he’s discovering that he’s his own person (with …

Not always getting his way

My son is getting to the age where he understands what he wants and how to get it. And, of course, I want him to express himself,  but it needs to be in a positive way. He wears his heart on his sleeve (and in his voice, his fists, his stamping feet, and his crocodile tears). You seldom have to guess …
