I don’t know if you guys know this, but my baby turned 4-years-old this spring. Four. My mom heart can barely handle that fact. Since he’s a big kid now, he gets to go to VPK. (VPK is Voluntary Pre Kindergarten, a free program offered for all 4-year-olds in the state of Florida.) He’s never… Continue reading First Day of School
Last year we started a birthday tradition with Lincoln where we ask him some questions to see how he changes over the years. Last time the answers were quite entertaining. You can see his 3-year-old quiz here. He definitely understood the concept better this year, although he still acts like he has no clue what… Continue reading Four Year Old Brain
Dear Lincoln, How can it be that you are such a big boy now? Tomorrow you will be four years old. I still remember the huge smile on your daddy’s face when my water broke and we realized that, ready or not, we were about to meet you and become parents. I remember the way… Continue reading Four
A few weeks ago, I saw this cute printable birthday quiz on Pinterest. I knew with Lincoln turning 3, it was the perfect time to start something like this. Here are his answers to the quiz. Some of them are….well, you’ll see. What is your favorite color? Black Really, Lincoln? Never before has he told… Continue reading The Mind of a Three Year Old
Hard to believe that another birthday has come & gone. My sweet boy is three & we had a great time celebrating this weekend. On his actual birthday, we let him decide where he wanted to go for dinner, and shockingly, he chose Chick-fil-A. That’s actually not shocking at all. He also requested Twistee Treat,… Continue reading All Aboard
Dear Lincoln, Today is your third birthday. Of course, you love to tell people that you’re seven. Don’t be in such a hurry to grow up, little man. So many students are graduating this time of year and my Facebook newsfeed has been full of moms wondering where the years went. It reminds me to… Continue reading Three
My baby boy is quickly turning into a big boy. We keep hitting new millstones that are exciting, but each one moves us further and further from baby land. I actually had no intention of potty training until my little Mr was closer to 3-years-old, but he decided it was time. Back in July when… Continue reading Potty Time
Dear Lincoln, When you were born, everyone told me to enjoy every moment, because you would be grown before I knew it. Of course I nodded my head politely, but I never imagined how right they were. In my head, you’re still my tiny baby. But when I look at you, I can see that… Continue reading 12 Months of Lincoln
A while back, I saw an adorable kid’s photo on Pinterest, and decided I’d like to try it with Lincoln. The mom did a “themed” photo of each of her kids to show what their interests were at that age. The example I saw was a 5 year old boy wearing swimming trunks & goggles.… Continue reading Yearly Photo
I’m behind again. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. He’s 11 months, but I’m posting his 9 & 10 month photos. I took them at the appropriate time, but never posted them. I’ll post his 11 & 12 month photos together after his birthday. Dear Lincoln, There’s only one word to describe this time in your life:… Continue reading Nine & Ten Months
