My Proud Mommy Moment, Edition 1



Today I am joining in on an AWesome new meme created by Kmama of The Daily Dribbles and Emmy Mom of One Day At a Time. For more info on this, click here. To link up your own PMM or Not-so PMM, click here or here.

It's easy to get caught up in the comparisons between your own children. For example, Jellybean was miles ahead of her peers at this same age as Scooby is. She was saying her ABC's by 2, could count in Spanish to 10 (thanks to Dora), and didn't have any developmental delays.

Scooby on the other hand is in speech therapy now twice a week to get his speech the way its supposed to be. He just started doing his ABCs after he turned 3, and doesn't count in Spanish at all.

Something else Jellybean did when she turned three was ride a bike, successfully, within hours of getting her bike for her 3rd birthday. Two weeks later, she was riding without training wheels.

Today, I am very proud of Scooby for mastering the skill of pushing pedals on a bike and sticking with it. He practiced on his big wheel first, beaming with pride as he rolled across the back deck with his feet on the pedals the entire time. The rain kept him from practicing on his new bike, but once he had a chance?

Well, just see for yourself...





And that? is a Proud Mommy Moment. We'll work on the braking later...

So, what's your proud mommy moment today?

Just Thursday






Outside my window...the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and my cherry blossom tree is all green leaves.
Today I feel...tired. It was a late night last night working on a project.
I am thankful...for my new house, great children, a loving husband, and waking up this morning.
Tomorrow I am going...to an appointment to qualify for TTY equipment. We will  visit the Easter Bunny while we are out and about.
I am wearing...a black lace camisole and grey sweats cut off to be shorts.
I wish...that my book(s) edited itself. 
This weekend...we are doing an Easter Egg hunt, going to a sunrise service, and hosting the family dinner.
I am reading...The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
I am working on...stories for writing prompts and a blog header.
Yesterday I...blasted loud obnoxious music after GC went to bed to get him to help me wash my hair after complaining about it for 3 hours prior (Story to come)
I am hoping...that my friend finds peace after her son passed away yesterday. He was 7. He had leukemia, though it was pneumonia that killed him. So sad.
I am hearing...silence. I haven't put my ears on yet.
I bet you didn't know...that I have lost 10 lbs
One of my {least} favorite things to do...is clean house.
One of my {most} favorite things to do...is snuggle with the kids.

Smile Sunday:Flashback



I'm trying something new this weekend. I found this cute Smile Sunday meme over at Mama's Little Chick (if you don't know who this is, you really need to run on over there and introduce yourself).

Smile, even when you feel like screaming.
Smile, though you are sleeping.

Smile, in a big way.

Smile, though your eyes are crossing.

I saw that smile!

 Hope you are having a great weekend!

2 Truths and a Lie Thursday with CA Girl and Me!!

It's a BRAND NEW MEME!! Yes, that's right, and I talked Lourie from CA Girl into co-hosting it with me. Y'all had so much fun reading all about our truths and lies and playing the guessing game, we decided to make it a regular feature. It's easy to play too.





Just grab that handy little button up there. Post 2 truths and a lie. Then link up here or with CA Girl (or both, depending on if it works for us the way we want it to, haha). Stop by some other truth or dare players and make some new friends too!! Then, the next week you play, you can REVEAL your big secret lie. Sound like fun? Well let's get this party started!!!

2 Truths and a Lie by The Drama Mama

  • 1. I am adopted.
  • 2. I can't hear but I sing karaoke anyway.
  • 3. I speak Dutch, Spanish, and English and can read in German, thanks to my grandmothers.

So tell me...which is the lie and which are the truths?
