Will write for yarn.
I am reading an elementary school version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to my little guys lately. I wasn’t sure if it was too early to start chapter books, especially with Ethan only four years old and a little…energetic. And easily distracted, too.
But he loves it. I don’t know if it’s the starting fires [...]
Ethan, the four year old autistic one? He sometimes acts like he’s a dog.
He flounces around on all fours, barks, and brings stuff to me in his mouth. He even licks me, but that could just be unresolved oral issues.
I humor him, because I think it could be a useful skill at some point. You [...]
A while back, I went to this legendary lady, Miss P, at J.C. Penney who measures and fits gals (my gals, in this case) for The Perfect Bra.
This mythical beast is one that doesn’t cause unsightly bulges, add inches to an already ridiculously large chest (why do they sell 40D’s with gel inserts???) or cause [...]
Some time ago, a strange gentleman, obviously not a native English speaker, was kind enough to offer to return to my blog for “Scatalogical Saturday.”
I understand he is indisposed at the moment, but perhaps they have wifi that reaches his cell. I don’t know.
But in honor of his probable return at some future date, I [...]
So we’re reading a bed time story last night, when Ethan decides he needs to go get something.
Me: But I’m reading the story, and you’ll miss it.
Ethan: JUST PAUSE IT!
Last night, I was informed that one of Grandaddy’s cows had gone to a better place. Or not.
Ethan: “One of Grandaddy’s cows died. Um, I mean he went to God. And now he’s in prison.”
Now that’s capital punishment.
Children’s play is their work, and there is no reason it can’t be yours, also. I have found some simple ways to include the kiddos in my chores, and this is my absolute favorite.
This is part two of my Carnival of Play post, inspired by Annie at PhD in Parenting. Unfortunately, my floor-cleaning hasn’t happened [...]
I got an unexpected call yesterday from a parent of one of my daughter’s friends. He didn’t realize he knew me at first, he was so absorbed in his purpose. It seems the city where I live has a zero tolerance drug policy in its schools, which means if a student commits a drug offense, [...]
Hi, all! PhD in Parenting is using the month of April to feature a Carnival of Play on her blog. She will link to posts all over the internet that explore fun activities, how play can be an important factor in children’s development, and how to incorporate more play into your life. This is part [...]
Interestingly, my biggest motivator and friend, Melissa, is also celebrating her 100th post TODAY! I guess we both started taking our writing more seriously about the same time, only she was much more disciplined than I was for a while. Then she started nursing school, and with four kids and a husband to take care [...]
