Daria’s Life

I walked downstairs to find Brigs had unpacked a box with all the parts of our old ceiling fan. I quickly made him help me clean it up and put everything back, while telling him that he couldn’t do that because it was a box I needed.
He sweetly looks at me and says “But [...]

Today was the BIG day for Brigs - his first morning of Kindergarten, and a whole new world opening up for him. What a treat to have a little guy so excited at the wonder of what school would bring. He awoke with a smile on his face and ran for his backpack [...]

On the way home from Nathan’s parents home tonight the interchange between Brigs and Joshua was truly hilarious to me. I love driving with my kids because some of their funniest moments happen when they’re chattering away in the car.
This was the conversation on the way home:
Joshua- “Oh wow! Look a police man! I [...]

I did it! Applaud me now people. I got the info on Brigs registration for Kindergarten this fall. Can he possibly be that age already? I have visions of Joshy and Brigs sitting happily together on the bus to school and meeting up on the playground. At home they’re pretty much attached at the hip, [...]

Yesterday Brigs, Noah and I swung by McDonald’s for a quick bite to eat. As we rolled through the drive through and we were handed our chicken nuggets and drinks, I passed Brigs his toy that came with the meal. It was a cute ball with Mario’s face on it. I started to drive away [...]

Brigs has a real thing about size lately. You can’t tell him that he’s getting bigger or growing bigger without hearing “no I’m not. I’m small!” in his proud little voice. I think he really loves being a cute little person all jam packed into that 4 year old body. He’s now taken to telling [...]

Last night I was shocked to find out the trust level that Brigs has in his bigger brother Joshua. Though the two are mearly 13 months apart, Joshua is quite a bit bigger and stronger than Brigs. The point was made even clearer last night when Brigs dropped his favorite little lizard toy [...]

For my children today HAPPINESS means having a HELL of alot of Tide laundry detergent and throwing it, rolling in it, pouring it into boxes…onto fabric…into every crevice of the basement. Perfect for sliding in when you run through from the other side of the room. Oh and it smells like lemons too! For me [...]

Brigs has been sick with a fever (and so miserable) for the past 3 days. He’s having such a terrible time sleeping at night and his fever just hasn’t broken yet. I feel so bad for my little man. I took him in to see the doctor last night and his throat was really swollen [...]

Dear Brigham,
You’re definitely a classic two year old boy. Bright and fun with alot of attitude. You are so headstrong that sometimes I wish with all my might that you would grow out of this stage quickly so that I can reason with you. I’ve tried reason and it’s a concept you either just don’t [...]
