The Crocheting Mom

I was asked to make a lovey blanket, about half the size of a regular baby blanket.  She wanted it for her little one to be able to carry around, without tripping over, or so big it dragged all over the ground.

If you know me at all, you know I love Christmas.  I love Christmas so much that I tend to get so excited for it, and phase over Thanksgiving.  I do this, but in all reality, I have a great deal to be thankful for.

I have a big MOMMY FAIL to admit.  I'm sure I'm not the only one out there.  I can't be.  The teacher in me is surprised at myself actually.  But here it is. 

If you have a preschooler, you have probably heard of the infamous Daniel Tiger. I have to admit, it's actually a really cute show. The song is catchy, and an homage to the well-loved “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.” There are not many patterns out there for this adorable character so I decided to make one up on my own.

Are you trying to find a new sitter?  Are you trying to figure out some good questions to ask?  Everybody's situation is always a little different but maybe my questions will help you out.

My 21 month old son was sick last week. He had a low fever the first 3 days of which I really didn't even notice unless I was hugging him because his body was so HOT.  He acted fine though!  He was running around and eating like nothing was wrong.  I called and the nurse line at the doctors office and they said to call back in a few days if he still has it. The nurse just said he was fighting something off and it's body is doing what it needs to.  I could give a little tylenol or ibuprofen to help the fever, but there wasn't any concern at all.
