kids market find


this is by far the best kids market and mom find!  svan bouncy seat.  and yes, adrian is no longer a baby, but he can sit in it up to 30 lbs.  so, it works!  17 bucks!  i have heard it retailed for $160.00. what a steal.  now, a.v. has his very own chair in the living room.  he knows where it is and goes to eat crackers in it during snack time.  so clever, my child.

biker babe


adrian loves his new bike seat i scored that the thrift store.  $4.98!  and found a bike helmet there too.  only $1.98!  total investment=$6.96!  but the memories are priceless.  it makes us get off our butts, out of the house, and get the exercise and vitamin d we need so desperately.  ahhh, spring.

bleary eyed


i'm a bleary-eyed mama.  my days and nights are full of wakefulness as adrian continues his teething ritual.  his mouth at times is full of so much pain.  he is transformed from a gentle boy to a violent and irrational child.  he is so frustrated, he has started to hit his head against whatever is near.  i feel such sorrow for him.  i wish i could take the pain for him.  actually, i do need to call the dentist.  i had a toothache last week.  hmmm...
