The BoyChild received this Christmas card from the lovely little girl next door. Her father delivered it a few days before Christmas while the BoyChild was in the bathtub. Since the BoyChild was wet, surrounded by bubbles, and he can’t yet consistently read, I read him the message on the inside of the card. Card […]

Last night we went to the GirlChild’s Christmas Band concert. For whatever reason, they combined it with another, huge, Catholic School band and had it at one of their two gyms. Because there was insufficient seating, and the BoyChild doesn’t sit well anyway, we moved to right under the basket along the wall. The music […]

Learning and soaking it in even when it appears he’s not paying attention at all. The other day I came home from work and he was moving and wiggling his fingers and telling me […]

While we are in the car and he spots a DHL Truck way down the road: Me: You see better than I do because you have young eyes. BoyChild: I have old eyes. Me: I have older eyes. How old do you think my eyes are? BoyChild: Twenty-two? While we are doing homework: BoyChild: I […]

I went a little nuts in the grocery store yesterday. Usually I buy Weight Watchers meals to eat at lunch. They are quick; you can heat them up in less than five minutes in the microwave. The are relatively inexpensive; you can get them on sale for $1.99 each or normally they are about $2.50-$3.35. […]

Kindergarten Homework

We got a note from the BoyChild’s teacher shortly after school started. It was entitled “A Letter From The Teacher.” And it was a nice two page letter telling us a little about her, what the kids were going to do and what to expect. One of those things was “homework.” Have I mentioned that […]
