“Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails, That’s what Little Boys are made of.”
Is that True? Girls and Boys can be so different in so many ways.
Today I tackle the Nature vs. Nurture question…

‘Our Kids’ Resource!
Just want to let you know about a GREAT resource for DC Area parents!
It’s Our Kids!

DC metro area.
I just visited this website and all the resources are free-
OR- you can pay $26 a year to be a member and get special discounts on events and enter giveaways.
Either way- it’s a great site,

Disney Books are now Online!
My last post was about Disney On Ice. This is completely separate Disney news- and very good news at that!
Disney has put it’s HUGE Library of Books online, for the 1st time ever!
What’s even better is that there are no games and mass advertising on this site,
it’s just books.
Your child ‘turns’ the pages; they can be read to, or read themselves. They can move their ‘pen’ over a word to get the pronunciation, or even the definition.
I LOVE this idea!
But- this is not free. I believe it is reasonable, however.
Go to Disney Digital Books, and see for yourself-
You can get a month subscription for $8.95 (this is for up to 3 children) or an annual membership for $79.95 (also for up to 3 children).
You can also go to Digital Disney Books and get a FREE look at the site right now
AND read 7 books for FREE.
Again, I love this idea=
The magic of Disney + reading= Priceless

An Unbelievable Moment That Only Happens When You Are Outnumbered 2 to 1 By Guys
It happened yesterday, amid a totally delightful afternoon…
I left my son and husband alone for mere moments in the living room. Upon my return, my son pointed out the Halloween stickers he stuck to -1. the living room wall, and 2. the glass pained door at the back of our living room that leads to our screened-in porch.
Incredulously, I looked at my husband, saying to him through my mom-vulcan-stare, aka-
“Why did you let our little guy stick halloween stickers to our painted walls and nice glass?”
His response:
“Stickers aren’t permanent. Worst case scenario: we can get them off with a razor blade.”
Yes, a RAZOR BLADE. I’m not kidding. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried…
So, both males, still thinking it’s no big deal, went into our computer room,
meanwhile, I gently pulled the stickers off THE WALL AND GLASS,
stuck them to A PIECE OF PAPER,
and wrote ‘Happy Halloween’ and put that up,
for a Halloween ‘decoration’…
Everyone wins
I still cannot believe I actually heard, “… worst case scenario: we can use a razor blade…”

I Saw Decorated Christmas Trees on Columbus Day
As I just typed that title I thought of the movie line from The 6th Sense– ‘I see dead people.’
But in a weird way, that is kind of appropriate, in a ‘this could not really be happening’ kind of way-
Yesterday, it did happen. The day started off like any other, a nice morning, a day off school, a pleasant breeze, the fresh Fall air…
and my son and I were walking through Sears… and he stopped in his tracks…
There, before us, were twinkling lights, Christmas decorations, ornaments and 7,
Yes, 7, Christmas Trees.
I’m not ready for Christmas yet, repeat:
I AM NOT READY FOR CHRISTMAS YET.
Let’s enjoy Halloween, Thanksgiving, my son’s birthday… and then we can celebrate Christmas.
Post Script: We then went to a Halloween store to pick out a costume for trick-or-treating…
weird.
