Kristi Gilbert also known as The Robot Mommy started blogging after successfully getting her son to eat by talking like a robot.  She then transformed into said robot and has been writing about her family's adventures ever since. Inspired by her infant daughter, imaginative toddler son and supportive husband, she documents life as she knows it: chaotic, coffee soaked and filled with awesomeness. You can also find her hanging out at therobotmommy.com and obsessively tweeting @therobotmommy.

    April 16, 2013. posted in Baby

  • Mother Tucking
    April 14, 2013. posted in Baby
    My kids don't cuddle me as much as they use to anymore. I miss the cuddling. It's been replaced with sitting so very close and tucking their hands or feet under my body. Otherwise known as mother tucking...
 
 
 
  • If You Put A Label On A Child...
    April 04, 2013. posted in Baby
    In my mind, I did nothing. My son did all the work. The question, the understanding, the acceptance. My 5 year old is better than me in so many ways. He is better than most adults around children in general.

  • I Don't Know How To Play Cars And Other Lies
    March 24, 2013. posted in Baby
    I'm the reason they have declining sales. Not parents, but moms. According to them, Moms can't push cars, build tracks and encourage racing. And to this I'm incredibly offended.

  • Given The Amount Of Sugar Involved
    March 17, 2013. posted in Baby
    Sweets, junk food, processed crap...they'll eat it but they usually eat it when I make the mistake of leaving it out or they crowd the fridge door. I do my best to make it 80% good for you food and then treats.

    Yet I have a supplier that visits the house once a week...

  • You're The Cocoa To My Coffee
    March 11, 2013. posted in Baby
    When you need to play, I'm your motivation. I'll jolt your day with dancing, jumping and running. Without adding the elements, I'm dark and black which is ok sometimes. But I know you like it best when I'm lighter and sweeter.
