Techie Toddlers

15 Feb

  

On Valentine’s day (as luck would have it) I found myself sitting in a doctor’s waiting room filled with ill droopy-eyed children, including my 9 month-old Rocco. I thought to myself, this room is not as loud and active as it usually is.  Then I realized why, several of the kids were being distracted/entertained with a gadget of some sort, Nintendo DS, iPhone, iPod etc. One of these kids being my own 2 1/2-year-old Rockford. It got me thinking, when did our kids become so tech savvy? Is that a good or bad thing? When is technology too much for young children?

Mama needs a chill pill

On several occasions I feel boggled down with the heavy-never ending list of to do’s.  On these days, I know my kids get the short end of the stick and in the greater scheme of things, those little “to do” things really didn’t matter. I sometimes take for granted the gift of multitasking and run myself ragged and my kids end up as collateral damage. Let me make this a little bit more colorful.

BOYsterous Boys

One of the first reality checks I’ve encountered with having two boys is that they are just that…boys. Sure I have brothers and nephews but I didn’t raise them or have them with me 24/7.

Training Up my Boys

Hello all and thank you for stopping by. I always heard of the saying, “kids say the darndest things,” and I truth be told I always looked forward to that after my first son was born. I bring this up because that is actually what motivated me to start this blog. I started sharing some of these quirky, funny and moving moments with you guys on Facebook, but I always maxed out the allowable characters usage (that’s super annoying am I right?). My sister actually suggested I start a blog and the light switch went on…I could do that, so, here we are.
