http://www.poobou.com The rambling thoughts of a nerdy Southern girl living in the Pacific Northwest. Trying to figure out this whole life, mommy, wife and career thing. Giddy-up. Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:40:46 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Cate is 19 months old today. I feel like I need to write a milestone recap, but at the same time, I think I've been writing an awful lot about her lately and how she's been coping (or not) with the move. So instead, just a few quick & random ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/27/19-months/ Last week, Dave signed us up for a membership to our local YMCA. We both want to work out, plus they have a pool, and all kinds of classes (both for us and for Cate when she gets older). The gym also has a drop-in nursery, which is convenient so ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/26/sometimes-she-surprises-me/ I think yesterday we saw the worst of Cate's cold. She was basically having one continuous asthma attack all day long, poor kiddo. We were giving her the maximum amount of albuterol that we could, and she was still miserable. She seems a lot better today; she's still a little ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/23/toddler-fear-psychology/ A few days ago, I was chatting with my across-the-street neighbor and I asked her if she knew of any good pediatricians nearby. I was really thinking that it would be good to have a name handy in case Cate had an asthma flare-up, but I guess my psychic abilities ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/21/stupid-germs/ Rather than writing another whiny post about our lack of sleep and how miserable we are because of it, I have something completely different to whine about today. This is what the movers did to my car. (Buries face in hands and sobs) The story that the movers told us is ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/20/poor-widdle-car/ I'm starting this post at 11 p.m., and little Miss Cate is still wiiiiide awake. I know I've said it before, but this midnight bedtime thing is driving us crazy. It could be worse, of course - she's running around happy and playing, and it would be a lot worse ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/17/after-midnight-we-gon-let-it-all-hang-out/ Ok for real, how long does it take a toddler to get on a normal sleep schedule after a huge event like moving to a new house? Because we are seriously about to lose our minds here. Cate seems to think that midnight is her new bedtime. And she can't ... http://www.poobou.com/2008/08/14/worn-out/
