Cute Conversations

Posted in Kieran, Liam, cute conversations on February 24, 2009 | 5 Comments »

As promised, a compilation of witty observations and comments from the Menagerie House Boys! ******** My Friend: “My memory has definitely gotten worse since I became a mom.” Me: “Yup, definitely. I’m pretty sure I forgot to make lunch for Liam one day last week, but I’m not positive. Some days I feel like my [...]

Bits and Pieces of Midwinter Action

Posted in Casey, Kieran, Liam, Seasons, birthdays, brothers, cute conversations, ferrets, holidays, knitting, parenting, pets, pictures, school, sibling stuff on February 14, 2009 | 4 Comments »

That headline is a bit misleading, but I had to write something to lure you guys in, no? We haven’t had any action of  the big exciting event variety (except for Kiri, who just learned to jump and is over-the-moon excited about that!) but we’ve had lots of little things going on, so it’s time [...]

Hey Out There!

Posted in Kieran, Liam, blogging, cute conversations, nursing, parenting on January 20, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Hey, what’s this page??? Oh yeah, it’s my blog….huh. I haven’t posted because…well, I was busy catching up on all the things that I put on the back burner last month, and here I am, resurfacing for a break. It’s been everyday life for the most part around the Menagerie House; we had a relaxing [...]

December 2008, #1

Posted in Liam, blogging, cute conversations, holidays on December 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I’m hoping to chronicle some of the cute and sweet things the kids do as we prepare for Christmas. I’m sure I won’t get them all written down, but hopefully by the New Year I’ll have a good-sized collection of anecdotes. So here we go with story (more of a quote, really) #1…… This is [...]

Do Teachers Know This?

Posted in Liam, cute conversations on November 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Last night at dinner I was trying to get Liam to chew with his mouth closed. He just didn’t want to, he didn’t see the point of such social niceties, and he told me so – “But I don’t want to, Mommy!” End of discussion, he clearly meant. I asked him if he chews with [...]

The Next Stage

Posted in Kieran, cute conversations, milestones on October 19, 2008 | 5 Comments »

I’d forgotten how delightful 18-month-olds can be. Kieran at 18 months is a delightful combination of baby and little boy. One moment he’s clinging to Mommy, and the next he’s attempting to cross the street by himself. While we never know from moment to moment whether we’re dealing with a baby or a little boy, things [...]

No Pun Intended

Posted in Liam, cute conversations on August 24, 2008 | 7 Comments »

Yesterday the boys and I attended a playdate at local park. I have seen this park many times in passing, but I had never explored it before yesterday. The town next to us built it about ten years ago in celebration of the 300th birthday of the organization of the town’s government. It’s several acres [...]

If Only

Posted in Liam, cute conversations on August 8, 2008 | 7 Comments »

I was reading the news this morning while, for once, the boys were playing quietly together. I vaguely overheard Liam, who was playing store, trying to sell Kiri some trinket or another. I smiled, glad that things at home are peaceful, even if bad news is all over elsewhere. I heard Kiri say “yes” to [...]

It’s A Good Thing He’s Cute!

Posted in Kieran, cute conversations, pictures on July 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Kieran has most of the tricks you’d expect of a baby his age – he totters along, stumbling occasionally, uses 9-10 words with regularity, eats with utensils (except when it’s more fun to finger paint with spaghetti sauce), draws a straight line, and when pressed, throws a pretty decent temper tantrum. However, the child has [...]

Distract The Baby!

Posted in Kieran, Liam, cute conversations on July 10, 2008 | 8 Comments »

At Target a while ago were a bunch of board games on clearance. I picked up several to have on hand on rainy days just as something to chase away boredom. Well, one of those boring, rainy days struck last week, so I grabbed one of the games. The game itself is not that hard, [...]
