Boy With The Long Hair

by beth on August 9, 2010

in Being a Mom

He is my only baby to have this much hair before 18 months.  We haven’t been ready to cut it.  I’m not sure I’m ready still, Hubby isn’t sure he is ready, I think even the older rabble-rousers aren’t sure if they’re ready.  When we cut it feels like he won’t be such a baby any­more. But we’re talk­ing about *when* as in maybe this month. I’m going to be one hot mess when the first snip hap­pens.  Hold me.

Some­thing about watch­ing all my men walk­ing together as if set­ting off for an adven­ture that makes my knees go all soft & my heart go pitter-patter.  I love these guys.  Wrestling at all hours, pur­ple nur­ples inside of quiet nurs­ing & all the choas they bring, I love.  I just love them.

Purple Nurples

in Being a Mom

This kid is adorable.  His smile and the way his eyes crin­kle up when he is smil­ing or laugh­ing make my day. He also thinks any time a cam­era is out that it is for him.  He stopped what he was doing to pose for this, even though I wasn’t actu­ally going to take his pic­ture that minute.  How could I not?

How­ever, under all that cute­ness lies one tough cookie.  For exam­ple, he still has a love of try­ing to give peo­ple pur­ple nur­ples.  That I could do with­out.  Then again he IS num­ber four, he does need to know how to hold his own.

Going Somewhere?

by beth May 20, 2010

Do you ever get the feel­ing you on a jour­ney that is lead­ing you to some­where but have no idea where? I feel like there’s some­thing around the cor­ner but I am not sure what that is or what the next step should be. Like I’m stand­ing on the edge of going some­where.   I have […]

Defining a Movement: Mom 2.0 Video

by beth February 19, 2010

Saw this video essay about moth­er­hood by Kather­ine Cen­ter being passed around on Twit­ter dur­ing the chat­ter about the Mom 2.0 Con­fer­ence.  I had to share it with you all.  Rea­son why?  It made me all watery eyed & shak­ing fists in the hair say­ing DAMN RIGHT I’m nur­tur­ing the good in this world, I […]
