Now she is Five
… nearly six actually. Now that she is five she is at school from 9am until 4pm everyday. She has had her first solo playdate in the pueblo with a boy from school. She tells me that they fight “but not hitting”. OK, great. They mostly play Barbies.

Glamp Lamp

Shortly after giving birth, sometime after the unearthly tide of profanities spewed out in the throes of agony has been stemmed, many a mother will utter words along the lines of “She is the most important thing in my life now” or “I would do anything to protect him.

Te quiero

April 19, 2012 by bibsey mama 17 Comments

Q is for querer: to want or to love. Te quiero: I love you. I wanted to write about love today because for some reason I was writing about laziness on the day that the letter L came up. And when I thought of love, the first thing that came to mind was of cuddling … [Read more…]
