My Name is Changing to Mommy

by Kristi on February 20, 2009 · 5 comments


“Mommy, where are we going?” “On some errands.  Hey, you know you can still call me Momma? I like when you call me Momma.” “I like to call you Mommy.” “Oh, well that’s ok. If you ever want to call me Momma though, that would be nice.” “No, I like calling you Mommy.” *sniff* It’s […]

Confident Children

by Kristi on January 29, 2009


My BabyCenter newsletter popped into my email box a few days ago and I saved it as the main article seemed pretty interesting, titled “Ten Ways to Build your Child’s Self-Esteem”.  I just took the time now and if you have preschool aged children, go take a read through.  It’s obvious (as most self-help things […]

Curing Eczema and Diaper Rash

by Kristi on January 18, 2009 · 14 comments


I know, you really can’t cure eczema and diaper rash. But we are doing a great job on Sam lately! She has suffered from light eczema on her knees, feet, elbows, and other places for pretty much all her life. They are not bad spots but they itch and now that she can speak she […]

Doctor Appointment

by Kristi on January 7, 2009


“What are we doing today, Momma?” “We are going to the mall.” “What are we doing after that?” … (This is sooo common every day. This conversation can go on and on and on and on…) “Then, I’m going to the Doctors while you and G stay with Grandma Nana.” “Oh. You are going to […]

Hair

by Kristi on December 23, 2008 · 5 comments


Sam came home yesterday with a cute barret that pinned her bangs away from her face.  It was cute. My Mom did it, so of course it was cute. Hubby says, why can’t you do that?? Well, NOW I can do that.  Since someone ELSE did that.  But I’m just not a HAIR person. I […]

Santa Claus is Coming to your Town!

by Kristi on December 21, 2008 · 2 comments


So, Santa came to visit Sam, Griff, Raechelle, and CharChar over at Krysta’s Mom’s house on Saturday! SHOCKER! Yea, apparently Yorba Linda has this thing where you can have Santa come to your house for 15 minutes. Seriously CUTE! Well, it would be if Santa maybe looked like Santa and not a teenaged boy pretending […]

Moving to Disneyland

by Kristi on December 12, 2008 · 2 comments


Sam did not take her nap today.  Actually, neither did G.  They both thought that snoozing (briefly) in the car on the way home from Krysta’s was their nap.  They were wrong, but whatever. Early bedtime for them! Sam did have quiet time in her room and after an hour when she started calling my […]

Happy Birthday, Sammie!

by Kristi on December 9, 2008 · 4 comments


It’s Sammie’s THIRD BIRTHDAY today! I can’t believe my baby is 3.  She is so adult now but I have to catch myself remembering that she is still a baby.  My baby! She has huge conversations with us, wants to always know what we are talking about, is starting to tell jokes, and always saying […]

Funny Sayings

by Kristi on October 10, 2008


Carolyn (my Mom’s bf) was asking me tonight if I write down the funny things Sam says. I haven’t been really, but the cool thing is that she is JUST starting to say really funny things. 1) A few weeks ago she started noticing when we are ‘up high’ in the car, like on a […]

She Slept the Night!

by Kristi on July 28, 2008


Crazy – Sam slept until 645 the next morning. G woke up at 7am. Well, he woke up at 4am and I fed him, and then slept until 7. So that was good. Sam woke up with a sore throat though and it was her first one. It was kinda funny. She was holding all […]

Missed You!

by Kristi on July 23, 2008 · 2 comments


It felt so weird not having Sam in the house (and J) this morning! Crazy. Anyway, when she came back she gave me a big hug and said, ‘Missed you, Mama!’ – awwww!!! So sweet! Apparently she had TONS of fun though. She didn’t go to bed until 9:30, LOL, woke up early, and they […]

Me Shammie!

by Kristi on July 8, 2008


So for the past few weeks, I would randomly ask Sam, what’s YOUR name? And she would look at me and smile and shrug. I would say, “Can you say Sam?” and she would just look at me. Then, I would say, “Can you say Hammie?” and she sometimes would say ‘Hammie!’ so I would […]
