Dear Ash, My! How things have changed these past two months! You’re turning into a Big Boy, something you’ve been talking about a lot for the past year. There have been leaps and bounds towards you gaining more independence- getting way out of being a toddler and turning into a preschooler! First, you’ve moved out [...]

Dear Ash: The past couple of months have been a blur. A stressful blur full of “what? huh? pardon? whadyousay?” You are having some serious issues being able to hear, especially when there’s background noise like when you’re in the car or the bathtub. It was noticeable a couple of months ago, but it seems [...]

Dear Ash, You’ve changed so much in the past two months, it’s hard to remember how you once were! You’re entirely a little boy now, full sentences, complete grasp on language, and your information-sponge brain is CRAZY COOL. “Don’t say no, that’s not very nice!!” is what I hear about 10x a day, including if [...]

Dear Ash, You’re 28 months old today! Outside of Christmas, it’s been a pretty uneventful month, with us hunkering down and trying to make it through these cold days. This month we made our very first snowman together, which you named “Frosty,” of course. You got a kick out of him, especially watching him melt [...]

Dear Ash, Okay, I missed last month. I’m sorry! I got so busy with my business (Pip Robins, just in case you have no idea what I’m talking about by the time you read this, or maybe I’ll be a multi-millionaire from cowl sales!) that working took precedence over writing your newsletter on time, and [...]

Dear Ash, You’re 25 months old today! This has been a wonderful month, and I can’t wait to tell you about it. The month started with a bang, or rather- a pop, because you we had a birthday party here with all of your friends! There was food and helium balloons (hence the “pop”) and [...]

Dear Ash, You’re 24 months old today! You’re “two yea-ol” as you say. I can’t believe you’re two already. You’re getting to be such a big little kid. This month has been full of changes. It went from summer to fall, we moved houses and you’re potty trained! August was fun, and there was lots [...]

Dear Ash, You’re 23-months old today and officially a “big boy,” or so you say. If anyone dares call you a “little boy” or a “baby” you will quickly correct us, that NO, you are a BIG BOY. Okay, okay, Big Boy, I apologize! This month has been fun! We’ve spent a LOT of time [...]

Dear Ash, This month has started and ended with questions. Questions, questions, questions. What is that? Who is that? What’s that doing? Man doing? Baby doing? Worm doing? Ant doing? Trains doing? What is that? What is that? What is that? What daAat? I answer every question as best I can, and just wait for [...]

Dear Ash, You’re 21 months old today and I love you and YOU LOVE ME. Do you know how I know that? It’s because you told me so! Music to my ears, kiddo, it was pretty much the best thing I’ve heard since your first giggle. You were riding on your tricycle around the house [...]
