I know that Doodles is doing what every other kid who is almost three is doing, but it still cracks me up to no end. Things like, his new favorite show is Higglytown Heroes. He now mimics one of the characters who, with a thrust of her arm, says, “Aw, pickles!” I have to say, [...]
I know, I know, “Thou shalt not have any other gods before me,” blah blah blah. And that’s all fine and dandy, but right now at the Sweetie Pie-Doodles household, we are busy erecting an altar to our new holy leader, the great and omnipotent all-powerful Dr. Ferber. Oh how the mighty weep at the [...]
Oh, how I wish I had been the one to write this blog post. But alas I was not. However that should not stop you from reading all about Sweetie Pie, even if she is disguised as someone else’s child. Just don’t stand too close to her during the water game.
Hey you! Yes, you out there, Reader. You know, Reader Sally! Okay, okay, don’t shoot me! I take it back. What the hell am I talking about? I just gave you the biggest insult ever! Apparently, in Doodles’s world, “Sally” is about the worst thing you could call anyone. He and his friends have gotten [...]
And so the saga continues. It’s been a week now and the Tough Love Menu continues. Doodles gets a small amount of food he likes plus something else I’d like him to eat. If he doesn’t want to eat what I’ve set out, he can go hungry. Doodles has spent a lot of time this [...]
This just in: My. Children. Are. Trying. To. KILL. Me. THIS IS NOT A JOKE! Any day now, Adam is going to let himself in from work to find my two children playing over my cadaver. Sweetie Pie will be crawling back and forth over my legs, sniffing around for milk while Doodles will be [...]
We give up. Sweetie Pie’s pediatrician gives up. Everyone we’ve begged for advice has given up. We have one last hope: Sweetie Pie has an appointment with one of Dr. Ferber’s associates in two weeks. Wish us sleep! God knows we really, really, really need it!
I am 38 years old. And for all of those past 38 years, I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why Little Jackie Paper brought Puff the Magic Dragon “strings and ceiling wax and other fancy stuff.” This has honestly bugged me for ages and has been revisited recently now that Doodles is [...]
Without a doubt, there are more horrifying words one could hear coming down through the monitor when your son is supposed to be napping. I, however, am at a loss to think of a single one. The statement in question? “Oh, no, Mommy! There’s poop all over me!” Yes, that’s right folks. Lesson #1 from [...]
I taught Doodles to say he was a Red Sox Doodle Dandy, as I know his father wouldn’t approve of him being a Yankee Doodle Dandy. It’s very cute to hear him say it. It comes out something like, “I’m a Red Sox Doodle Dander,” which I imagine is the type of Doodle that makes [...]
