In 1968, my mother-in-law Mimzie used her sewing talents to make an adorable jumper for her second son. And forty two years later, the next generation tried it on for size. Now I just need to find a party for my dapper little boy in his light blue jumper (Although I might ask him to [...]

Thumbnail image for First Words June 14, 2010

For the last 26 months, my son has been the “strong, silent” type. His extensive vocabulary has included, in it’s entirety, the words… wastis?  (what’s this?) staaaay (stay – mostly directed to the dog, but sometimes to the crib, sink or sippy cup) theris!
