The thing I most remember the ER nurse telling us (oh, and great bed-side manner, by the way) was that taking the stitches out will probably hurt more than putting them in. Fortunately, Connor either didn’t hear him or forgot he said it. But it has been weighing on my mind for the […]
At least this time around its a tad more convenient. Connor decided to potty train when William was 3 months old. I can’t tell you how many times he got ripped off the breast in mid-feed so I could run Connor to the potty. What a great introduction into the Dickson family. […]
I don’t know if I like this new stage Lainy Ann is in. There have been lots of ‘hard’ stages in the last five years; being up all night when she was a baby, following her during the toddler years when she was making messes, potty training and then sending her off to school. […]

Clean, neat and tidy
Thorough lessons with instructors […]

Lainy Ann has learned so much in the last year. Not only did she start Kindergarten this fall, but she is now reading fluently on level 1 and some level 2 books. I think the birthday party activities are the biggest indicator of her growth this year.
This year we invited *her* friends from […]
