Dear Ashden: Month Twenty-Eight
Filed Under Dear Ashden | 2 Comments
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 19 months old today! We’ve spent more time apart than ever before this month, but we’re managing and we’re actually doing okay. I went back to work this month, something I hadn’t been planning on doing until I found a job that I knew I’d enjoy and so that I could eventually [...]

Dear Ash, You’re a year and a half old today! You are such a little boy, I would nearly say- outside of the occasionally gibberish- that you’re only 10% baby now. You’ve grown up so fast!! We’ve had a very exciting breakthrough this month. We had two appointments booked at the allergy clinic for this [...]

Dear Ash, You’re 17 months old today and that’s pretty darn close to two years and I’m astounded at how fast our lives are going and can you please slow down? You’re a far cry from the little baby I held in my arms for the first time so long ago. I guess I may [...]

Dear Ash, You turn 15 months old today. My memory of the past month has been clouded over by this week, because you are a completely different person than what you usually are. We moved Ash, and you’re not happy. We moved to a bigger apartment with a backyard and every time we walk in [...]
