Shadows of Terror

Backdated Entry December 2, 2013 I'm writing about the trial, but it's going to take some time. I'm delving into the back story so you guys have my side of the information. It's an emotionally grueling task and I can't face it for more than a few minutes each day. I wish I could turn off my fear as... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Thankful

Backdated Entry November 28, 2013 The turkey is in the oven, the salad's being made, the parade is on TV and the family's here together. Ayla's in her walker, babbling up a storm. Mom's preparing a few things and I'm writing this post. I'm trying to stay positive, so I decided to list some of the... Sign in to see full entry.

To Battle A Demon

Backdated Entry November 26, 2013 Before I resume posting the lighthearted posts of mommyhood, I must take the time to acknowledge the virtual elephant in the room. Tomorrow, on goes the armor, up comes the sword and before me hovers the shield as I walk unwillingly into battle. I wax poetic, yes,... Sign in to see full entry.

Water Weekends

Backdated Entry October 14, 2013 It's been awhile since my last post! Sorry about that, everyone. I've been busy job hunting. A week ago, Ayla had another swim lesson! It was all review, so I won't go into extraneous detail. We did do one thing new, however. Letting our child sit on the inner wall... Sign in to see full entry.

To Grandmother's Pool We Go

Backdated Entry September 30, 2013 My birthday is tomorrow, so I'm staying with my mom for a few days. Today, I took Ayla for a swim in mom's pool. When we got into the water, she was a little taken aback at the coolness of it. It wasn't freezing, but it was cooler than the 95 degree pool water at... Sign in to see full entry.

Aquatic Adventures

Backdated Entry September 29, 2013 This entry was written yesterday (Saturday), hence why the word "today" is often used. When she got into the water today, Ayla was all smiles. She splashed, she kicked and she laughed as she was bounced through the pool. For now, I think we've learned all the new... Sign in to see full entry.

A Penne Experience

Backdated Entry September 26, 2013 Ayla tried penne pasta for the first time yesterday. Since she's a pro at finger feeding herself, I wanted to introduce a food that she could enjoy on her own. After checking with her pediatrician as well as someone from our support network, pasta was made, diced... Sign in to see full entry.

Return To the Sea

Backdated Entry September 26, 2013 I suppose the title of this post should be Return To The Swimming Pool but it's not as catchy. So a slight misrepresentation will have to suffice. Hey, Ayla's only 28 inches tall. The pool probably looks like the sea to her. Swimming lessons this week were much... Sign in to see full entry.

Mermaids and Malls

Backdated Entry September 14, 2013 There's a mermaid napping in the next room and her name is Ayla Rose. Ayla had her first swimming lesson today. I knew she enjoyed the water, but I was pretty impressed at how well she took the structured learning. Each lesson is a half hour long. When we entered... Sign in to see full entry.

Equal Time

Backdated Entry September 13, 2013 It's amazing how fast time flies. Today, Ayla was nine months old. She's been out just about as long as she was in. Perhaps I'm being sentimental, but I find that sad. I feel like I lose her just a tad with every month she gains. The older she grows, the less she... Sign in to see full entry.
