Balti-smore

Posted on by zsmd

On Mother’s Day weekend we went to Baltimore for a stay-cation.  It was really fun.  We went with another family (Betsy, Bob, and Faye) and did the tourist thing.  We got adjoining rooms so that we could have parent time in one room and pack-n-plays full of snoring toddlers in the other.  To be honest, though, all of us were dead asleep by 9:30.  We rode a carousel, ate ice cream, went to the children’s museum, and just had a really good time.

Big girl bed.

In our attempt to help Moxie become self sufficient (and boot her from the crib before the next kid comes) we’ve taken off the rail and she’s in a big girl bed.

She helped her dad take the railing off. But then, after bath, when she came in and saw her bed she got really nervous. She danced a little, laughed in a weird way, and wouldn’t look at the bed. I really wasn’t expecting her to be this nervous. 
We did our usual bed time routine but 2 hours later. After she got into bed she gripped her dad’s hand with a mighty monkey strength until she fell asleep. 
We will let you all know how it goes. 

For now: she’s asleep. 

Unicorn in the mail!

Today Moxie got mail. Unicorn mail. Our super friends took time out if their busy lives to send Mox a magical package. She immediately saw it in the mail basket and recognized that it was hers. (Well to be honest she thinks most things are hers.)

Anyway, they addressed the body and each family member wrote her a special note. So. Cool. Unicorn mail. 
Anyway, we have kick ass friends. Tom, Jenny, Ben and Peter: thanks so much!
