Finding Ninee » Sharing our parenting and special needs stories with heart and humor.

Is there anything cuter than a little kid with a big backpack walking into school?  Ok fine, there may be a few slightly cuter things like, oh, I don’t know…a naked sleeping baby snuggled up to a wrinkly sleeping puppy or something.  But seriously, little kids with big backpacks?  Adorable!  Today is school photo day for […]

  • Sara - The backpacks are pretty cute, but I’m a sucker for the sneakers. Little big man wearing what seem like great big sneakers (but really they’re just itty bitty).

Before my son was born, my husband Robert and I joked about how old we’d be during different phases of Tucker’s life.  Robert asked me to remind him to kick my ass when he becomes a 60-year old keeping track of a teenage boy out on the town.  I guess that extra five years of […]

  • Robert - Despite the fact that when my father was my age he had a 30 year old son and I have one who is three, I have nothing but joy for our little boy and his ninees and his beautiful and sometimes cantankerous mom. I believe everyone will enjoy the wit and wisdom, trials and tumult and hope and happiness of raising Tuck.September 20, 2012 – 7:50 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Awwww….September 20, 2012 – 7:55 pmReplyCancel

      • Taryn - You two are GREAT parents; hopefully, Tucker will outgrow this developmental difficulty, and some boys take a longer time to get the talkity-talk thing down, unlike Kristi and I — who were chatting endlessly, in utero. Our poor mothers! With two smarty-pants parents like you, Tuck is going to be just fine!September 21, 2012 – 8:05 pmReplyCancel

  • Debbie - Wrinkled Mommy - I mentioned “I wish I knew more mommies my age,” and got the reply of “You do. They’re just called Grandmas now.”

    Oh that is classic! I love that part.

    It’s weird being old enough to be a grandmother and have a newborn.October 12, 2012 – 6:23 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Debbie, it IS weird being old enough to be a grandmother with a little one. Once, in Georgia, I was actually asked if I was Grandma. Not my proudest moment! 🙂October 12, 2012 – 8:54 pmReplyCancel

When your baby has limited language, each new word is a total celebration.  Every time Tucker says something new, or attempts to say something new, he’s met with extreme enthusiasm.  Jumping around, clapping our hands, and telling him what a good, smart boy he is creates the positive reinforcement that he needs to not get […]

  • Henriette - Girl, I am all for celebration! A new word is a new word, right?! Maybe not a word you were pining for, but still a word that will come in handy for him as he grows up. Cause it’s not like WE never use it… 😉September 25, 2012 – 12:23 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Ha! That’s so true. It will definitely come in handy for him as he grows up. I probably need to start teaching him that other, better, swear word.September 25, 2012 – 7:09 pmReplyCancel

  • MJM - I wish someone would jump around and clap when I said something new and/or pronounced something correctly…but I don’t get anything…not even gum. If I was in your shoes…and my kid said “shit”…I would correct them and let them know it’s pronounce poo poo.April 14, 2013 – 11:55 pmReplyCancel

    • Kristi - Dude, you did find some massively old archive stuff (said she who started blogging in September). And yeah, he got the celebration. When I told my closest friends about it, they said “really? I’m surprised that word wasn’t ‘fuck.'” Yeah. I was proud. He got it and that was enough for me. Still is.April 15, 2013 – 12:19 amReplyCancel

      • Kristi - PS pronounce one of those weird crazy dinosaur names for me and I’ll totally send you gum. For real.April 15, 2013 – 12:20 amReplyCancel
