Caddo Parish Magnet High School Student Vivienne Webb honored with national award for leadership and volunteerism   The National WWII Museum in New Orleans has named local student Vivienne Webb of Caddo Parish Magnet High School as a 2021 Billy Michal Student Leadership Award recipient.  The national honor is awarded annually to one student in every state who has maintained a strong record of volunteerism, demonstrates school and community activism, and helps implement creative solutions to recognized problems.  Each honoree will be virtually recognized at the Museum’s American Spirit Awards program taking place June 18, 2021. The leadership award, which the Museum first presented in 2017, was created in honor of Billy Michal, who was a child living in Louisiana during World War II.  At only six years old, Michal helped his one-room school win a statewide scrap metal-collection contest during the war, proving that every citizen could contribute to victory. ...

Triplet Toddler RE-Defines "Safe" In Shreveport, LA

-
Image
Okay, so for Christmas, Santa Claus brought all four of my little people a trampoline to share.  I KNEW that  Bregon  would be ecstatic, as he has wanted one of these since he was four and our friends in Tyler had one that he borrowed every weekend.  I figured that the babies would adore it, too. After all, they had always enjoyed anything and everything that allowed them to  boingy  their way through life.  It never occurred to me that my  boingy -est baby, my daredevil  Kaiden , would manage to actually be afraid of it.  After sitting on my back porch for almost an entire week because of the rain and mud, husband finally was able to get up enough gumption to grab my eldest and attempt assembly.  The whole thing went up in under an hour, as opposed to the many reviews and advice that we had read online about having to be a rocket scientist to get the whole thing assembled and together safely.  My eldest,  Bregon , immedia...

What Are Little Girls Made Of & Do They All Come Pre-Programmed That Way? Triplet Life In Shreveport, LA

-
Image
I've always heard that little girls are so much different than having little boys around.  Being a little girl, I always just ignored folks who said this, thinking that it couldn't be all that different.  I am learning, though. Boy, am I learning! Christmas clued us into a few differences that were very surprising.  On Christmas morning, everyone was very excited to see that Santa had left lots of neat and interesting things under the Christmas tree.  Vivienne sat in my lap as she demanded that her big brother, Bregon, place her new ruby slippers on her tiny little girl feet.  Then I handed her the new dollie that had been sleeping in Vivie's new cradle. The dollie said, "Mama" then began to cry.  That's when it happened. Vivienne snatched the dollie out of my hands and gave her a huge hug.  She leaned in close and laid her cheek against her dollie's, saying, "Okay, okay...alright," in an effort to "Comfort" her new baby.  She then plac...

You Mean Bedtime Isn't Supposed To Be Fun?

-
Image
Over the past week, I have had many visitors over to my home that are normally not around for the babies' everyday routine.  I am finding out that I am a very lucky Mum, too! Everyone seems to be so amazed over how good and happy my tiny trio are.  Both my sister and my in-law's were over at bedtime earlier this week, and each marveled over how it was laid back and tear-free.  Apparently, they always had trouble getting their kids to go to bed when they were little, or something.  After thinking about it, I suppose it isn't every day that you find three one year olds who can tell you when they are ready to go to sleep whether it's nap time or bedtime.  Our normal routine involves dinner at 5 each night. Everyone eats until they are finished (however long that may take) and each are allowed down to play until bedtime.  Bedtime is usually at six unless the babies are super tired, then they can head out earlier if they choose to do so.  All I have to do i...

A Christmas Shopping Surprise In Shreveport, LA

-
Image
Today, after we had our portraits taken with Santa at the mall, Bregon and I headed down to the opposite end to get Icee's.  I had promised him one if he would help me wrangle the babies for an impromptu Christmas portrait.  We had all three babies calmed down from the excitement of seeing Santa (most had cried.)  They were happily "Reading" their little Santa coloring books. So we decided, upon a whim, to turn off into the toy store.  I should have known better. After all, I know that this one is closing down soon and coincidentally is having a huge sale.  But this store literally looked wiped out. It was as if a tornado had gone through it or worse.  There were blank shelves in front and merchandise strewn all over the floor. It wasn't terribly crowded, so Bregon and I went ahead and decided to turn in, limo-sized stroller and all, and see if we could find any last minute bargains.  We somehow managed to find a path that we, stroller included, would ...

Triplet Christmas Countdown In Shreveport, LA

-
Image
It's time for the annual Christmas countdown. We are in the final stretch and have about four and a half shopping days left!  Somehow, the tree has survived and is still standing tall in our living room on its antique steamer trunk base, surrounded by the play-yard that was once designed to contain the very children it aims to now keep out!  My tree has been the recipient of many a Kaiden and Kian hug, and Vivie greeting.  It has endured through Kaiden and his many attempts at storming the play-yard gate by repeatedly ramming the weak joints with his push-me-pull-me.  It has even weathered the babies latest attempts at full contact Christmas tree jousting where it has been subjected to the babies running full tilt at it and attempting to poke it with wrapping paper tubing.  My Christmas tree is a trooper, with its new stand and all. I think it is safe to say that, but we do have to make it five more days...  I think that I have most of the Christmas shoppin...

Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies, Shreveport, LA!

-
Image
I am sure that by now, everyone is quite familiar with my latest toddler trio problem - CLIMBING!  Why, it was just last week that I discovered Kian hanging out inside the bottom oven, Kaiden swinging from the dining room chandelier and Vivienne swinging her legs as they dangled from the back of my sofa where she had perched herself.  I thought that I had figured out a way to stop the climbing from happening for the most part.  I have moved every chair away from the dining room table and positioned them along the walls of the dining room and living room.  I even moved the one that was supposed to be designated for the homework table that is in the living room corner.  I had thought that the one that was basically useless unless you pull the table away from the wall would be safe and immune to baby-climbing.  Oh, boy was I mistaken! I heard crying coming from the living room while I was in the bedroom trying to fold laundry and put it away in the dresser dra...
