Text of the page (random words):
and baby makes three and baby makes three thursday may 23 2013 milk vs juice i love how the three year old brain works its trying to make sense of the world around it yesterday preston pointed to my breast and told me he liked it he then asked if he could eat it we had a small discussion about how my breasts no longer make milk for him to drink because he s no longer a baby he mulled this over a bit in his 3 year brain and moved on this morning he pointed to the same breast and told me that it doesn t make milk for him to eat i told him that was correct and reinforced that he s a big boy and breastmilk is for babies he then pointed to my other breast and in all seriousness asked if it makes juice no preston it doesn t make juice either posted using blogpress from my iphone posted by lisa at 9 05 am no comments monday december 3 2012 urinals preston had his first interaction with a urinal this led to having to go potty twice within less than 5 minutes do you flush them there was a knob at the top that i refused to touch posted using blogpress from my iphone posted by lisa at 11 46 am 1 comment wednesday october 31 2012 coming back i cannot believe it s been so long since i last posted i think about my blog often and debate on whether to come back or not the best part of blogging for me is posting and seeing pictures however as preston gets older i worry about exposing him to the www in such a public forum is it possible to make my blog private and keep my existing readers i miss journaling about his growth how our family has changed and what it s like to be a mom posted by lisa at 4 03 pm 2 comments thursday november 3 2011 flying with a toddler i was visiting west philly mama blog which made me think of our upcoming travel plans we ar heading to nyc next weekend and then florida a few weeks after that for the most part i d consider preston a well traveled baby all considering he s only been on the earth for 18 months i would say that he s probably flown roundtrip close to 10 times however the older he gets the harder it is to fly with him for the most part i fly with him alone so i d like to consider myself pretty experienced in this department i can get through security with a baby carry on suitcase diaper bag and stroller in a breeze however it was definitely challenging the last two times he s at an age now where nursing him doesn t put him to sleep instantly which was always my go to plan he s also curious about everything and everybody even though i buy a lap child ticket we ve been pretty fortunate about scoring a free seat so that he can have his own with the exception of one flight however the one flight he literally pulled the shade up and down for half of the flight until i moved his seat he s also incredibly fascinated by the tray table and yes no matter how much i try he s the kid who will kick the back of your seat because what else can you do with your legs on a 2 hour flight when you can t walk around i know he must drive the people around him crazy one thing i ve learned about preston is that he needs containment in order to fall asleep this could mean being in the ergo strapped in to a carseat or simply being in his crib we usually don t take the car seat when visting my mom because 1 there s no guarantee that we will get a free seat and 2 they have one for him so it would be pointless to add another heavy item when i m already traveling solo someone told me about a cares harness which looks good in theory but it expensive sn if anyone has one that they are willing to sell please let me know so i m going to take some tips from west philly mama and his pediatrician pack lots of snacks go to the dollar store and buy some cheap new toys that we can pitch afterwards and download some episodes of sesame street or barney on to my iphone if anyone else has any other tips for flying with a toddler please let me know posted by lisa at 3 16 pm 1 comment love you forever i find this book very strange but oddly enough i m drawn to it so drawn that i may actually buy it to add to the little one s library it s about the love between a mother and her son that transcends over time each night when he s asleep she takes him in her arms rocks him back and forth and sings to him her own little song however she does this little ritual even when he s an adult and living in his own place across town she takes her ladder climbs in to his room and rocks him i almost died of laughter when i read it for the first time i have so many questions like what the hell does his wife think what if they were having sex why doesn t he wake up does she have difficulty sleeping why doesn t she ask for a key quite honestly i think it would make an awesome snl skit posted using blogpress from my iphone posted by lisa at 2 30 am 4 comments monday october 31 2011 happy halloween growing up we didn t celebrate halloween the first time i dressed up was in college why didn t we celebrate i had a very proud father who would say if you want candy we will buy it for you there s no need to go begging for it you can t miss something you never had so it never really bothered me and while it s typical to carry on family traditions this is one that we may break last year my friend invited us to tot in her neighborhood it was held the saturday before halloween and we had a blast i do have to admit that it did feel weird asking for candy sometimes i had danielle do it i felt a lot more comfortable taking him to the halloween parties at the library and barnes and noble than going door to door this year at the last minute i decided to make his costume we went to the party at the library and the zoo last week however he missed tot with my friend on saturday because it was snowy wet and cold i was totally unprepared for the snow and there was no way i was sending him out in the cold in only a fall jacket so we stayed home i was all set to carve pumpkins last night but i think because i bought it several weeks ago at when we went to the farm that i couldn t cut it open so we settled for stickers instead what better way to start our halloween celebration off this morning than with pumpkin and raisin pancakes and apple sauce for dipping playing outside in the leaves halloween stories coloring and right now a nap later he will help pass put candy to the 10 tot we get each year it s like pulling teeth to get him to look at the camera these days so surprised that he ate not only a bite but all of the pancakes yay if anyone ever needs a toddler bib recommendation i highly recommend the baby bjorn giddy up cowboy making his outfit was so much fun posted using blogpress from my iphone posted by lisa at 1 33 pm 1 comment friday october 28 2011 discovery of peanut allergy a few people are curious about how we discovered that my little guy had an allergy over the summer when he was about 14 15 months old i gave him some jif with a touch of honey peanut butter on crackers as a snack i did this about three times and he didn t react we ran out of the pb and a few weeks later while i was in whole foods i picked up a jar of their organic brand once again i gave it to him as a snack on crackers this time around he reacted his eyes became red and itchy he broke out in pimples and his face turned red and splotchy he couldn t stop rubbing his eyes i made the decision to give him benedryl which he had never been given before and the only reason we had it in the house was because our dog had a reaction to shots the year prior it did the trick in the meantime we had called our pediatrician but when they called back it went straight to voicemail and because we had his symptoms under control we never called them back i just figured we would avoid peanut butter during his 18 month check up i added this to my list of questions i wasn t sure if it was a brand issue or an overall allergy issue she said it had nothing to do with the brand she suggested blood work to see if he would test positive and he did the allergist said that because he was exposed and reacted at a young age 2 there s a likelihood that he can outgrow it i m not sure what the theory is behind that but in the meantime we plan to just stay clear of nuts he also said that there is a significant increase in peanut allergies among children compared to years ago when we were younger we stopped off at whole foods today and it was one of my first times shopping since learning of the allergy a lot of packages indicate if the product contains nuts or is processed in a plant where products containing peanuts and tree nuts are processed i ended up putting a lot of things back it s a really difficult decision to make do you put the items back or do you get them for example i ve bought preston nutrigrain bars before whole foods had their own brand on sale today but the package said it was processed in the same plant as other nuts so i put it back the rational part of me wanted to buy it thinking he s had a similar product before but the other part of me said if he gets sick i will be ridden with guilt because i knew the warning on the package on my way home i decided that i m going to live by the rule that if he s had it in the past i will buy it i m starting to see how it may be easier to make my own goodies for him at least i ll be more aware of what s going in to it i ve been inspired to make my own pumpkin pancakes from scratch this weekend we will see how that goes posted by lisa at 2 01 pm 2 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me lisa i m a newly 30
