My Kids
Pin itIf you don’t want to read about someone else’s kids, then you may want to navigate to another website… Lucy is generating more and more words from her tiny being. Today she spoke the word “beautiful” as we walked past the flowers at the market. Granted, only her mother could tell that was the [...]
18 to 48
Pin itThere is no reasoning with a child – particularly one who is between the ages of 18 months and 48 months. Yes, it’s a long window. A very, very long window. Long. Some insist that the “2′s” are terrible. Some believe this is a terrible assessment to make on our children. I’ll hop in [...]
It appears I didn't know…
Pin itwhere the Build-A-Bear Workshop REALLY was. Olivia asked, “Mom, do you know where Build-A-Bear Workshop is?” I said that I did, knowing it there was one at a local mall (OK, it’s a ferry trip, but I know where one is…). Olivia let me know she knew where one was too – “Mom, it’s [...]
Celebrate the Tummy ???
Pin itJoel said he had a dream. He said he walked through a door and into a big room. He said that “there were a hundreds” of really big people. His choice of words was a bit less politically correct… You know, “Buddha” chubby. He said all of the people were sitting “criss-cross apple sauce” [...]
Children of the Corn
Pin it No, this is not a review of the terror movie I never saw. I can freak myself out enough without having any Hollywood-generated ideas adding to my mania. This story is about our visit to a local pumpkin farm with Olivia’s preschool… Last Friday – ahem – Friday the 13th, no less… we [...]
Literally thinking…
Pin itAt her preschool, Olivia gets to make Mother’s and Father’s Day presents. This year, Olivia had the choice of coloring a couple of different pictures for her dad. Before she gave her dad his gift, she told me she chose NOT to color one of the pictures. (OK, I’ll bite) “Why Olivia?” She said [...]
Little Fart
Pin itGiggling Olivia, on zerberting her sister’s belly: “I farted Lucy’s belly.” Yeah, “fart” is not the dreamiest thing my beloved daughter could speak, but it sure was cute… By the way, how the heck is “zerbert” spelled???

Backdraft #12: Strawberries Instead of Flowers
Pin itDrafted on February 14, 2006 I bought strawberries as a special treat for the kids on Valentines Day – a “treat” because strawberries are not particularly inexpensive this time of year. I took out the strawberries to rinse, and I heard such a squeal of delight come from the below the counter. It was [...]
Backdraft #11: Decisions, Decisions…
Pin itDrafted on February 13, 2006 It was the night before Valentine's Day and it dawned on me I hadn't gotten any special little “somethings” for my kiddos. I had intended to run to the store on my own, but in a last-minute change of plans, Olivia decided to come along. We browsed the picked [...]

When she woke up her hands were asleep, She told her Daddy, “My hands are dizzy!” Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share with Stumblers Tweet about it Subscribe to the comments on this post Tell a friend
