By: Daddy Daycare? - REZTT https://reztt.com/a-big-martino-move/#comment-40103 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:27:37 +0000 https://happilyevaafte.wpenginepowered.com/?p=4191#comment-40103 […] When we moved back East last spring, I was suddenly pregnant and living in a new place with my toddler.  I was working more than ever, and with Kyle totally present for the first time since Marlowe was born I just didn’t have any more excuses for why I had to run the show when it came to our child.  I was forced to dole out some responsibility to Kyle.  At first it was little by little, and then slowly grew in to them spending entire days together with him in charge.  I had a work trip and a wedding, and Kyle took over both of those times.  During the wedding weekend I was away, Marlowe got the worst stomach virus she’s had to date and almost had to be hospitalized– and her Dad handled it all with such grace and care.  With each passing day, Marlowe’s relationship with her Dad grew and grew.  She started to run to him when she fell or was scared as much as she ran to me.  I started recognizing Kyle’s abilities as a father even more.  I had always considered him an amazing father– so loving, kind, a provider, patient.  But now there was so much more– as he took on more responsibilities with Lowie, I could see his potential unfurling.  It was a beautiful thing to watch.  I could tell that his new relationship with Marlowe was also doing so much for Kyle and his self esteem as a father.  By the time Major was born, Kyle was taking on so much more of the parenting– and not just the good stuff.  The annoying things, too.  The challenges alongside the more fun things that I had always considered “Dad things”.  He was taking it all in stride, and our kids were flourishing.

By: The Potty Files: Gearing Up - REZTT https://reztt.com/a-big-martino-move/#comment-28703 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 12:00:26 +0000 https://happilyevaafte.wpenginepowered.com/?p=4191#comment-28703 […] Then we moved.  And then my daughter never wanted to look at, talk about, or sit on a potty ever again in her entire life.  Sooooooooooo. Yeah.  I’ve tried everything to get her excited and motivated.  I’ve shown her videos and pictures, and reminded her how great she was at the potty: she doesn’t care.  I’ve tried to bribe her with sweets and treats: she doesn’t care.  I’ve tried to pretend to take all her diapers away and give them to babies who need them: she cares a lot and cries uncontrollably until she pukes.  I’ve tried telling her about all her friends and family members who use the potty: she tells them Congratulations and lets me know that she goes in her diapers.  I’ve even tried explaining to her that there is a Big Girl Glass Ceiling in which you must learn how to use a Potty if you ever hope to do any Big Girl things ever again like go on special trips with Mommy or eat Ice Cream, or move to the preschool at Daycare, or be an Astronaut:  She shrugs and tells me to go to the potty by myself.  Then we had another baby and she ABSOLUTELY does not want to be a Big Girl if somebody else gets to be the only baby.  Regression 101, people!  But my kid is smart and she can manipulate me, come up with a million reasons why something can’t happen, and of course tell me that she is going to try it some day…just, like, not in this lifetime.

Amazing place to raise a family, close to the city but far enough away…. 🙂
