On Flights #25 and #26 ~ loquacious family

Monday, August 3, 2015. On Flights #25 and #26. Blurry selfie while we waited for lift-off. Well, let me say that it was a cakewalk. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. A pleasure, even. Here's what worked for us:. Quality kids' headphones with age-appropriate volume limits (we used a Philips brand one). Pre-cut fruit and veggies in small Tupperware containers (because while junk food is readily available, short flights and airports have a dearth of healthy kid-friendly fruits and veggies). An in-flight snack ite...

Friday, April 17, 2015. Can I Hover at a Distance? Totally would apply in a situation like theirs. Throwing her American Baby doll. But then again, she's only 3. Maybe that's to be expected. Maybe every parent of 3-year-olds hovers. And helping "baby" climb the ropes. As she gets older, I would definitely like to increase my proximal distance (lest I be accused of helicopter-parenting my first-grader! And am looking forward to seeing how having a larger home in a smaller community might lend to that goal.

Thursday, July 30, 2015. Over our dinner of chow mein noodles, my little girl prayed:. Dear Jesus, please come into my heart, because I need to remember God. Amen. Unscripted, unrehearsed, unprompted, and from her heart. Praise the Lord. Amen. Posted by Mrs. Loquacious. Monday, July 20, 2015. One stands guard on one side, the other stands near its nest on the rectangular structure. The fledgling is hiding beside the momma and learning to feed. Being a seagull's hostage sucks.

Easing Up - Then vs Now ~ loquacious family
http://loquaciousfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/easing-up-then-vs-now.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Easing Up - Then vs Now. A smile as she sleeps. Of course it was a short nap! Sleeping in short interrupted bursts of time at all hours of the day. Sleeping upwards of 10 consecutive hours with minimal disruption. Hauling a 30 pound combination of baby and car seat/carrier from place to place. Little L walks (and occasionally asks to be picked up when Hubbs is around). Daddy's turn to watch her while I inhaled my pork belly. Somebody wanted out of her robe.STAT. One-sided conversat...

Friday, November 28, 2014. Little L is obsessed with the "Snowflake Day" from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. A year ago already. And that's what I want for Little L - to create traditions and events that become meaningful memories to her. I intentionally want to shy away from overdoing the wrapped gifts, opting instead to gift her with holiday experiences that are special and that she will look forward to every year for many years to come. So what's on our list? Here are a few things:. Open Dec. 12-21 ...

Tuesday, August 25, 2015. Parenting Is Scary - Part 67982, or How We Ended Up at the ER Twice in a Day. Not from yesterday, but look at that cute sleeping girl! She freaks me out way too often. What should I do? By this time, blood was splattered on my daughter's face and t-shirt, and soaking through the paper towels being held against her forehead. The small, deep crater was pooling with blood every time we removed pressure from her head. Hubbs pulled in shortly after the firefighters and ambulance arri...

Monday, January 26, 2015. Don't Wanna Turn It Around. It's not a big deal, some of you are probably thinking. I would not have thought so either, except that I have learned over the last few years that RF is infinitely safer than FF. Car Seats for the Littles: RF Car Seat Myths Busted. Safety Benefits of RF. Car Safety.Org on Rear-Facing. Rear-Facing for Best Protection. When did you switch your babies to FF? What made you decide to do so? Does this information change your mind about your decisions?

Because... and Other Antics ~ loquacious family
http://loquaciousfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/because-and-other-antics.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Because. and Other Antics. In the absence of sand. I've never interacted closely with other young children aside from Little L, so everything I know about 3-year-olds comes from my experiences with her. And I have to say, this stage of development is really amusing. For instance, I have heard that littles often ask "Why? If we were anteaters, then we would definitely not want to eat funky ants, because then we'd spit up our germs! Right before her death grip became a headlock.
