Sitting at the dentist with my oldest. He's being quite the trooper. With the video he's watching I'm feeling a bit extraneous.
Operation BGB is in Phase 1 and I'm calling it a smashing success. She woke up on Saturday and begged to have the crib converted. Jack dutifully removed the crib gate but didn't install the lip. I was unsure how it would ( Read more... ) -

You guys I feel horrible. I am a very bad, no good, downright terrible mom. I'm not catholic, but is there some kind of a penance I can do to absolve myself. I'm not really into self-flagellation, but right now it seems appropriate.
Backstory: Okay so I've been complaining about Anders sleep of late. The dude's sleep is all out of whack so I felt ( Read more... ) -
