Seeing as how we started our family with twins, I have no idea what it is like to only have one child to care for...except for the occasional trip to the grocery store. Wow, what a different world! Today Emory and I had time to just hang out tog...

A week and a half ago, we had our first combination parent-tot/pregym class with the kids. So all four of us got to go in. Aidan was so excited for Emory to join us, and Alanna was at the ready to help her little sister! Emory was excited until...

What's Puffy, Pink and Gooey All Over?tag:vox.com,2008-07-30:asset-6a00e398b4efa1000200fa968c4c6e00022008-07-30T23:33:15Z2008-07-30T23:33:15Zmmkhttp://meganmk.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom
That would be Emory's right eye...conjunctivitis...yuck! This is our first bout with good 'ol pink eye, but I remember getting it quite a bit when I was younger. She was not happy when she woke up from her nap and couldn't open her eye. Poor th...

She Did It!tag:vox.com,2008-07-05:asset-6a00e398b4efa1000200fa9684a94800022008-07-05T18:17:48Z2008-07-05T18:17:48Zmmkhttp://meganmk.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom
Emory is Potty Trained!!! No more diapers! Yay! (Well---except when she sleeps...) It's official...there are no more babies in our house. All the cribs are gone. No more diapers. It's a good thing, but I'm not sure how I feel about all this...

Anyone who knows Emory knows we use many words to describe her zest for life...passionate, intense, energetic....she is a child of extremes, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This doesn't always make things run so smoothly when our personali...

Picking up from yesterday afternoon: Emory woke up very grumpy from her "nap"...so I asked her if she wanted to put underwear back on, and she declined. I knew if I pushed it we would have an all out screaming fit, so I decided to end the potty ...

Off to a good start!tag:vox.com,2008-06-25:asset-6a00e398b4efa1000200fad693e79500052008-06-25T18:59:46Z2008-06-25T18:59:46Zmmkhttp://meganmk.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom
Emory practiced wearing underwear for a little while the last couple of days, and today we decided to jump in with both feet. She has done fabulous so far, staying dry from 7:30 to 1:00. She asked to go potty a couple of times, once she caught h...

Anyone who knows Emory knows how expressive she is, and how passionate. I have never caught this on video, but it always makes me laugh. Some people talk with their hands...Emory talks with her arms. I tell ya, whatever she does, she does enthu...

Big Bed Newstag:vox.com,2008-05-22:asset-6a00e398b4efa1000200fa96773d5400022008-05-22T16:58:25Z2008-05-23T00:53:53Zmmkhttp://meganmk.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom
So Emory totally surprised us with moving to the big bed. It has been a seamless transition, and she was not at all the jack-in-the-box I was expecting. I underestimated her again! She loves it and hasn't seemed to have an ounce of difficulty w...

Tonight is Emory's first night in the big girl bed. We talked it up today, and I think Aidan was more excited about Emory sleeping in a big bed than Emory. She seemed pretty psyched though. After the bed was delivered, I made it up, and she cli...
