Today I have a four-year old

  It's crazy to think four years ago, I gave birth to one of the most amazing persons ever. Like ever. Motherhood has been a challenge, no doubt. A lot of ups and quite a few downs. But I can't imagine my life without him. He brings a smile to my face when I'm down. He makes me see the bright side of things. He's my inspiration when I don't have any.

Father and Son

I took these pictures of Bae and Baby Bae over a week ago. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but hey, I'm rather impressed by how they turned out!

My Son Needs His Own Room…and I'm Slightly Freaking Out About It.

It's no secret Maks and I have co-slept with Bear since, well, birth. Not by choice, mind you. While he did sleep in his bassinet (and then crib), he always prefers sleeping with us. Plus, I was (am) breastfeeding at the time so it made sense to give him some boob as we (mainly he) slept. Now, Bear is becoming a big boy. And big boys need their own rooms.

My Kid is Starting to Potty Train and I Can't Deal

So, for the past year or so, we've been trying to get Bear to potty train. After putting him in school, his teachers revealed to us that he'll do it when he's ready and we can't force it. So we didn't. We bought special potty training books, a potty that's currently collecting dust and might be given away when we do donations this weekend, and a special toilet seat. Potty

Concrete Rose

After our protest this past Saturday, we walked around L.A. trying to find a place that didn't have too long of a line for us to eat. We actually ended up going back home to eat in a local restaurant but we had fun walking around! We discovered a chicken coop in the Arts District and Bear had a ton of fun!

Bear Turns 3!

It's been an incredible three years. It's been a challenging three years. But I'm blessed everyday. When he was born, it felt like I won the lottery and I still feel the same. Without further ado, I present Bear's greatest hits over the past three years. Enjoy!   [gallery ids="5852,5853,5854,5855,5856,5857,5858,5859,5860,5861,5862,5863,5864,5865,5866,5867,5868,5869" type="slideshow"]

Late FBF – Bear and Daddy

Throughout this month, I'll be posting throwbacks of Bear and Maks since this is their birthday month! Even Superman needs to hold hands. After his very first beach trip this year. On our way out! Helping Daddy with photos. Taken just last week by photographer David King.

Our trip to Skyspace!

Over the weekend (and as part of my birthday celebration), we all went to Skyspace. It's a new hip viewing place in DTLA. It's also the place that boasts the clear glass slide. I didn't go on the slide (because I'm terrified of heights) but after seeing several people do it, I'm determined to do it next time. YOLO, right? Here are pics from our adventures! Kids under 3 are free.
