What do you do when your three-year-old is repeating everything for better or worse? By Alaina Sheer
My son, Benjamin, is repeating everything I say. Not just the words; no, his evolving three-year-old mind is now reenacting moments from movies or our lives over and over and over again. It's a bit maddening but also quite hysterical, frightening and fascinating at the same time.

Various adventures and tales from the blog worldBy Alaina Sheer
Last week on Fabulous Financials, Single Ma wrote a thought-provoking and hilarious post on a conversation her daughter had with a two of her girlfriends about fake contacts and butt pads. Read it here.
On Notes to Self, you must read about the author's choice of a necklace bearing her husband's name. It's a short but sweet post reminding all of us that some married couples are in love.
I did something very, very brave this weekend. My friend Kristin writes about it on her blog, Better Now.

School's almost out! Blogging moms prepare.By Alaina Sheer
Benjamin goes to his day care three days a week. The staff is extremely sensitive to my single momness and are always understanding of my schedule. They also don't freak out every time Benjamin has the sniffles. As Pisces Hanna of Cost of Living wrote this week, many daycare cenrters are much less lenient. I can't even imagine having to deal with such an insensitive and impractical day care.

Dad Shopping
I have a theory on dating called "man shopping" but what about when you are also "dad shopping"?
By Alaina Sheer
I've been applying my man shopping theory to dating for years now and it's paid off. I've avoided most of the bad boys and only kept them around if I wanted them around. But what happens when it gets serious? What happens when there's a chance this will evolve into a full on relationship with a path straight toward the pearly white and (quite frightening) marriage gates.

Dr. Mom vs. the Pediatrician
This Single Mom prescribes good old-fashioned healing.By Alaina Sheer
I am running out of the door this morning to take Benjamin to the hospital because his eye, after a knock on a toy truck at his father's house, is now red. I'm freaked. Goes with the mom territory.
Actually being freaked about our child's health is the chief job description for any new mom it seems. I was one of them (and still am to a certain extent) until I finally took on my pediatrician when he tried, once again, to put my son on antibiotics.

Swine Flu Freak Out
Are you a victim?By Alaina Sheer
I have been hearing chatter about the Swine Flu online all week.
One amazing thing about not having a television (yes, I'm weird) is isolating yourself from sensational news stories. Not that the Swine Flu is merely a sensational news piece, I'm not trying to discount the victims or question the validity of the reports but I do think the television media has a way of making something seem much, much more frightening than it actually is.
When I finally asked someone at work what all of the Swine Flu fuss was about his eyes got really big and he said, "it's a pandemic. A real pandemic. People are dying all over the world."

Alaina rounds up the best in the mommy blogosphere.By Alaina Sheer
When Benjamin turned two I realized every trip I took would have to include two plane tickets. And when you have two children like Rebecca Woolf of Girl's Gone Child, that's expensive. Oh! And she has a husband too. Ouch. Is it possible in this economy to take a real vacation? Definitely. Especially when vacation is a state of mind. Read her post to find out how she did it.

Is it Time for a Dog?
I feel like I'm avoiding the inevitable. By Alaina Sheer
Last week on our Saturday adventures Benjamin disappeared over a hill at the park. I dashed to the top and could see that my little three-year-old, but only as a little spec on the horizon. He'd ran to the park's edge to pet a stranger's dog.
