With all the snow we’ve gotten around here lately Dave has kept pretty busy with his snow blower. The thing is a beast. An 8HP beast. I can’t control the beast, it takes over. Dave has to do it. But he likes it, so its okay. Look at that smile. Bridget really enjoys standing in […]

Daddy Daughter Date, +1
February 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family
Every now and then Dave takes Bridget on a “daddy-daughter date.” She loves the opportunity to spend the one-on-one time with her dad, and she knows that it usually means they get to go somewhere fun. Last Wednesday Dave and Bridget were planning to go on one of these dates while I was at the […]

Potty Talk, Volume III
January 31st, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family
Previously on Potty Talk and Potty Talk, Volume II, Bridget had taken more of an interest in being independent when she uses the bathroom and she had been pretty free of accidents. She also asked to use the bathroom far more than necessary, and would spend far too much time in there without even going […]

Every night, Bridget has a bed-time routine that goes something along the lines of: Change into her pajamas, Brush her teeth, Take out her hair rubberbands (and put it up so she can sleep without it getting caught in her eyes), Read her scriptures, Use the potty, Have “knees” (which is family prayer in her […]

Sean

Many of you may be familiar with our “time out boy.” He’s a stuffed doll, white and without a face, that is dressed in toddler boy clothing. He stands about 3 feet tall and, up until recently, could be found standing, wearing a backwards hat, in a corner of our living room. Until recently his […]

Play-Doh
January 27th, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget
Play-doh has been a pretty popular thing at our house lately. Bridget had her first experience with play-doh when she was about 18 months old. We were headed on a plane trip across the country to Connecticut. I took some along to keep her entertained. She liked it then, but it was when she got […]

Stuck in a meeting
January 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget
On our way home from the play place at McDonald’s the other day, Bridget and I had a conversation that went something like this: T: Ok, its time to go home. B: No, I just wanna stay here. Play some more. T: But don’t you want to go home and see daddy, he’ll be home […]

Little Artist
January 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget
Lately, Bridget has really been interested in all kinds of art projects. She loves to draw (pens, pencils, crayons, markers, highlighters) and she LOVES to paint (watercolors, acrylic). I recently purchased some foam stickers for her – which she has really gotten in to. We’ve also tried child scissors and glue sticks lately. She gets […]

Fuf-uff
January 21st, 2008 · No Comments · bridget
I don’t know that I spelled it correctly. I’m sure if I ask Bridget how to spell it, she might say something along the lines of “H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Micky Mouse,” which is how she claims just about everything is spelled. How Fuf-uff is spelled, though, is not really so much the topic of this post. Who and […]

Lucy likes Ice Cream
January 16th, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family
Really. She does. See. Well, actually she doesn’t really have a choice. She’s a pretty good sport about it though. Bridget loves to play with her. Sometimes Lucy actually gets dog treats served up on plastic plates instead of having to endure the pretend plastic food. She prefers that. Lucy is actually napping on the […]
