@bebeJosito’s first big boo-boo
My 22-month-old son has been sick more times than I can remember. From ear infections to colds to his most recent bout with chicken pox. As if that weren’t enough the other day he up and cut his hand at daycare requiring a trip to the ER. The story goes like this. I roll up to the daycare jamming to Sunshine by Matt Costa.
I can see teachers outside cleaning up. One of them perks up when she sees me and bolts for the door. I get out of the car, make my way into the building, and BLAMMO! “I need to speak with you,” says the teacher.
She pulls me to the side and starts the convo with, “Everything’s OK,” follows up with, “Jose was playing outside,” and finishes with, “He’s in the infant room with Ms. Teacher who’s been holding a towel on his hand for the past thirty minutes to try and stop the bleeding.” Wait, what?
NC Zoo Dinosaurs Exhibit
My 22-month-old son loves dinosaurs. LOVES them. Lucky for him, a colony of dinosaurs recently moved into the Forest Aviary in the Africa Region of the North Carolina Zoo.
After an hour-long wait, my sister and her family, along with my son and I, made our way passed the lions, meerkats, and chimpanzees before finally, FINALLY, getting to the Dinosaurs exhibit. Once inside I thought my son was going to explode out of sheer excitement like that dude in Big Trouble in Little China.
In front of him, hidden throughout the forest, were 15 animatronic dinosaurs (and some ancient plants <– boring). From a Brachiosaurus to a T-Rex to the spitting Dilophosaurus, my son was in Dino heaven.
Wedding Anniversary Gift Guide by Year
Each year for the past six years I’ve been Googling “wedding anniversary gift guide by year” and each year I have to wade through a fillion websites to find the list. Not any more. I culled the Internet and created this post as a reference. More for me than for you, but you’re welcome to use it. And if you have no idea what this whole buying of wedding gift business is, here’s the short version.
Some time ago you got married. Be it last year or 50 years ago you are obligated to buy your spouse a gift. Thankfully, there are options. You can follow Emily Post’s etiquette guide created back in 1922 and get your hubby a traditional gift, you can opt for a more modern approach, or you can go with jewelry and/or flowers.
Bottom line. Ladies and dudes, you need to get your lifer a gift and here’s a list to make it easy.
