Daria’s Life

Strap yourselves in for another hilarious Joshua story. The other day he walks up to me (very serious, sporting his intense look).
Joshy -”Mommy you know what?”
Me - “What honey?”
Joshy - “People with tattoos belong in jail…never trust a person with tattoos…they can’t be trusted!”
Mmm, I guess I shouldn’t get that teddy bear tattooed on my [...]

After picking Joshy up from school for lunch today, I trying to engage him in discussion about his morning at school. This is what transpired:
Me - “Joshy, I missed you this morning. What did you do in your class today?”
JJ - “I can’t remember”
Me - “Well honey, just think about it for a minute [...]

Joshy accidentally knocked out his bottom front tooth tonight. It was slightly wiggly already but he hit it on the tap while brushing his teeth (he was acting a bit wild!). Needless to say he was thrilled to lose that tooth. As he climbed into bed tonight he exclaimed “Come on Tooth Fairy!! Show me [...]

Children are so amazing to me, I am awed many times by the sensitivity of my boys. Over the past week I had been feeling a bit down and struggling with a few things that were going on. Somehow Joshy sensed this in me and took it upon himself to boost me up with one [...]

I shudder as I write this post, knowing my Mother-in-Law will cry when she hears the end of the tale. It all began with a busy Joshua boy who decided he needed a haircut, and took measures into his own hands to accomplish his goal. Let’s just say, some of his hair looked like [...]

We have a very excited boy this evening! He’s the proud and peppy one you’ll see, minus his first baby tooth. Last night Joshy bit into something and it was instantly loose. He and Dylan worked on it tonight, twisting and bending when suddenly it popped right out! I don’t know who was more [...]

Joshua awoke bright eyed and energetic to greet his first day of Grade 1. He was a bit timid when we got into the classroom, and told me “I have to do this SLOWLY Mom!”
So we hung up his back pack and talked to his new teacher. Then he saw a little boy [...]

The other day Joshy asked for a pen and came back to me with this sweet little piece of paper. He handed it to me and said “Here’s my Autograph!”. Nathan and I totally gushed with how cute it was that he did that. Well this morning, Joshy saw the piece of paper laying [...]

It seems like only yesterday that I was sniffling about my Joshy heading off to Kindergarten, and now he’s off for his last day of K! I was going through his backpack to get a few things together for him and noticed that his teachers sent home a beautiful personalized folder wrapped in ribbon. [...]

Noah has really started to charm me this week. He now walks up to me and gives me a nickname when he sees me. “Hi Cake!”, “Hi Cookie!”, “Hi Baby, Hi!” he’ll say giving me the eyebrows and totally flirting with me.
He also calls me “Mom-ee” and “MiMi” depending on his mood. So what [...]
