My son loves numbers, big numbers especially. When he was asked in school to share a story about a time he got hurt, he referenced a time (obviously he couldn’t think of anything in particular) when he got hurt 365 days ago. He’s always asking how many days old he is (which is when I [...]

Wedding Day
Today is a vreally* special day. I will marry my best friend, my son and I will welcome our favorite person into the family and our new life will start to take shape, a shape that resembles a heart, if you look closely. The morning started with an Encouragement Feast between the three of us [...]

Introducing Hip Baby!
I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be thinking about diapers and breastfeeding and baby names and pink or blue clothes again, but it’s official. Mr. Right and I are expecting a baby in early 2011. My son has been asking for a baby brother for quite some time now. He was thrilled [...]

You Deserve a Treat
I share a lot of personal stories with my clients when they have me all to themselves. This one usually gets a strong response from parents. A few years ago, when I was working full-time, my son and I would go to the grocery store on Saturday mornings. It was the first thing I’d want [...]

Reflections – 2009
My son turns six in less than seventy-two hours. I can’t even begin to explain the difference between my son at five and the little boy he has now become. He’s losing his baby-ness more and more each day. He’s growing up much too quickly, and I can’t help but take advantage now, since he’s [...]

Missing Out
My son’s first tooth fell out last Friday at school. His dad picked him up for the weekend and even though they told me right away my heart sank from not being able to be there and hug him and see his face when he got to share the news. He did call me and [...]

Growth Spurt
No doubt about it – my son grew since I saw him last. I dropped him off at summer camp last Monday (the 20th) and yesterday morning, when I saw him again, I could not believe how much taller he was! His first tooth is loose and it seems even his vocabulary and maturity level [...]

Billie & The Parent Plan
I love reading books – every once in a while – to my son that are a little beyond his age range. Some people would say that it’s not healthy to do so, but I find that talking about things that he doesn’t know about or using words or ideas that are unfamiliar to him [...]

My *Hip* Hurts
I had a job interview this afternoon. Wow, was I unprepared and overdressed. I have never felt more unhip in my life. The music playing in the lobby was loud and the employees were young and seemed to be dressed for a party, or at least like nothing I’ve ever seen in the casual work [...]
