Every damn day
Holidays are the worst. I can’t make it 3 days in a row with this screamer. I am loosing it. I think I already need family counseling because I have no ideas left on how to get her to stop crying about every goddamn thing. Yesterday for instance, I tried taking her to a new kids museum downtown. She cried because she wasn’t ready to go, she cried because she wanted to bring her cat,...
First cleaning lady ever- tomorrow! I am so excited but so nervous. What if it is a let down. Do I have to pre clean? She is going to be disgusted and sorry for us.

WatchA nice morning commute.
This strider bike is the smallest of the balance bikes and fit Kali when she was just 2 years old. It took her until 2.5 to be too interested and now it is the only way she will go to school. Pretty fun.

I should also note that the night before last she climbed into our bed and let me know I “smell funky.” Still pretty cute though.

Cry it out
my little almost 3 year old demon, just keep crying, I will check on you when you are 10.
Would you believe it?
Last night I got home from a work trip and Kali told me, “dada doesn’t like you any more and doesn’t want to be your husband.” I asked when he said that to which she replied, “Tuesday.” I said that is a bad thing to lie about so is it a lie or the truth. I think it may have been neither and more of a manipulation of a lie because then she said she wanted to be...

I want to run like a girl!
The other day we all went for a hike. We hiked the little path to Tennessee valley in Marin. It was beautiful out and at one point Kali felt like jogging with me. I was trying to teach her good form but she taught me about fun.
She was running with crazy arms like Phoebe in Friends and I told her she was running like a girl. She then said, “You run like a boy, I wanna run like a...

Mad dash
Kali and I were in line at Falletti’s to buy ice cream. We were next up and she started to head for the door. I told her to stop, I thought for sure she would just turn and smile once out the grocery store door, especially if I said I was buying ice cream, she picked up speed and the next thing I knew, I was crazy mom running full speed out of a store holding eggs and ice cream that I...
Do people still go out for new years? I would have no idea. Sounds crazy.

– Kali who got a cupcake for being so good at the dentist today:)
Kali's Christmas list
This is the first year she can communicate her Christmas list not just let me decide what items our house needed. Here is what she wants from Santa:
- a Christmas rocking chair. (odd she already has a cool wooden one:)
- another toy, a new cup
- the sun in our house through her belly.
- imaginaria (sounds like a mental illness?)
- ornaments
-new oranges (as opposed to old ones:)
-...
Busted
For slipping croutons into Kali’s lunch for snack time. What he doesn’t know is that I did it 3 days in a row after seeing her eating them out of a salad! And in my defense, she did eat them the first day!! Haha, I am such a lame mom.

A funny thing about crying
When you cry, you get to trade places with your kid and see what a moron you sound like when they are in meltdown mode. As I sat whining my eyes out tonight about the joys of married life. Kali kept getting in my face to coach me. “you have two choices, you go to your room, Ooor you stay in your room.” “you are sad? That doesn’t make any sense, stop being sad.”...
