Oops, missed it!
Dayum. I totally missed my 3rd blogoversary!
3 years + 1 month ago, I began this blog upon receiving the news that I was pregnant with my 3rd baby! Now here we are, 3 URLS, more than 50,000 visitors, countless templates and version changes, 3 years and 40,000 diapers later! My thanks to those of you who have stuck around, despite the blogging outages and general malaise that my life’s become. I apologize for not keeping up with things better, but hey – I do the best I can.
In these last 3 years, my baby boy has grown from the sesame seed that he was into a full-blown toddler, complete with daily tantrums, strange attachments to Curious Buddies videos and of course, he is my beautiful beautiful boy.
Along the journey, though, is his big brother, Anthony. Anthony was rather disturbed to learn he was going to be a big brother again, but he quickly grew into it, and as it turns out, is an even more awesome big brother to 2, as he was to 1. He’s transitioning into the next phase of his life -the phase that goes from calling me mommy to ma. The phase that brings physical & emotional changes that neither of us will know how to handle at first. My 1st is growing up too fast for me!
He’s so protective and nurturing. He loves to teach and explain and just loves the role of big brother.
And of course, Big SISTER Libby – she’s grown from a toddler herself into a 6 yr old who is on the cusp of greatness. She’s always thirsting for knowledge and loves to draw. She, with her wild & crazy hair and adventurous spirit – she of the insane tantrums (STILL) and high pitched squeak voice – light of my life!
This blog has brought so much comfort to me in the last 3 years, and I simply DO NOT KNOW what I’d have done without this outlet to keep my thoughts straight – or at least mostly straight. Thank you all for visiting, and hopefully, I’ll be here for my 4th blogoversary too!
Btw – this is my 800th post! The #1 search term for my blog, of all time, is “Ouch” – in response to my post for Parent Bloggers Network’s ridiculous labels blogging contest. LOL
