Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

CareBears

Sam recently got to choose a new toy, because he had to have a small operation.  He wanted to choose Vivian one also.  We went to Target and while looking for something for Vivian, came across singing Carebears.  Here is the slightly frightening GrumpyBear, which Sam thought was hilarious.

We then choose CheerBear and put in the cart with Lannin.  This is how she felt:


Although when we got home, she found entertainment in the bear that is about her size...








Or was held as a captive audience...

StoryTime

Vivian has been hosting story time in our living room.  I'm guessing it's based on the story hour at the library she goes to.


It started off with just her siblings but has lately become a bigger enterprise.





Lately the stuffed animals are put in time out for not behaving during story time.  A dolphin fell asleep and had to be removed.  Even Curious George got a little sleepy and was threatened with time out.  Sam's job is now to keep them awake while Vivian reads.  Nana attended story time the other day and yawned- it was a precarious moment.

Sam is now getting a little tired of story time...
