We have been learning a lot lately here about planets and the Solar System! My son recently went with his nursery school class to a planetarium… and then we ‘made’ a planetarium here at home with a small tent. We talked about the fact that our planet, Earth, is just far enough, and [...]
This morning while driving my son to preschool, about a mile down the road,
I said to him,
“Have a Great Day at School Today!”
Without hesitating he replied,
“Mom, I always have a great day at school.”
He said it so matter-of-factly… like how could school be anything BUT GREAT.
Thank you for this ordinary day
The other night my Big Guy and Little Guy were playing, just after dinner. I was straightening up, as I always seem to be doing (aren’t we all)…
And I flipped on TMZ. Yes, I admit it. A few minutes of celebrity gossip never hurt anybody…
Some footage of Michael Jackson was on the TV [...]
My 5-year-old son LOVES cars… and trucks, and SUVs, and crossovers, and hybrids. He loves buses too, any type of vehicle, really.
He knows all the different brand logos and names and points them out to me in traffic. I honestly think this helped him learn to read.
“Look Mom, there’s a Honda.”
“Mom, there’s a Chevy!”
And [...]
It’s Dr. Seuss’s Birthday! Well, it was yesterday, but since it was a ’snow day’ from school, I didn’t get the chance to blog about it.
Dr. Suess’s birthday is a chance to celebrate! Make this hat with construction paper,
and click here for more craft projects you can do, inspired by Dr. Suess!
Or, just [...]
My son and I sing a lot. We are not always on key. But we have a good time. He loves my singing… or so I thought.
The other day we were listening to kids’ music in the car, I don’t remember the exact song, but it was by Laurie Berkner, Justin Roberts, or [...]
I’ll say it again- the weather is great here in DC right now…
On Sunday, my guys went to the park while I went to the grocery store… yeah, I’m not quite sure how that was worked out- lucky me.
So I shop, buy the week’s worth of groceries (while forgetting my reusable bags, like I [...]
Yesterday evening, while putting my son to bed, he stopped and smiled at me.
“You are the best mom I’ve ever had,” He said. Immediately, I smiled and gave him a hug.
Like he’s had 50 different moms in his short life, and I’ve risen to the top of the list all of a sudden…
“You’re the best [...]
My son is calling me mom, not mommy; he’s picking out his clothes-
all of this because, according to him,
“I’m 5 now.”
It’s wonderful to see my little man growing up, but it’s a little hard too…

Yesterday afternoon my son and I went to a movie theater to see a full-length film for the first time. He just turned 5.
My Little Guy likes everyone to be happy and doesn’t like to see unhappiness and conflict, but I decided that it’s time for him to learn that problems can happen [...]
