I am so excited for this new blog.  As I just posted about over there, I am going to move all my kid-related blogging over here, though I guess for now I’ll cross-post it there too.
What’s on my mind this morning is that yesterday I realized that I am an official honest-to-goodness soccer mom.  I went [...]


Hi, loyal readership!  I am happy to report that a friend of mine (another mom) has started a new blog basically like this one, and invited me to join it.  I think that I will keep this one going, for those (okay, grandmas and grandpas and aunties mostly) who like to just read about my [...]


I can’t really explain why I haven’t been posting here lately.  It was a busy summer, we had a lot of fun and happy times, I have been talking to my actual friends in real life about the cute things my kids do, rather than just posting here.
But I like this blog, dangit!  And some [...]


Mom, lets play a hundred.
Hmm.  I don’t know how to play that.
Oh, it’s eeeea-sy!  First I say a number and then you say a number, and then the one who says the biggest is the winner.
Okay.
Now, the youngest goes first, so I go first.
Okay.
Okay.  Thirty-nine hundred jillion google thousand hundred twenty-eight thirty-six thousand hundred.
Whoa.
Yeah, that [...]


One of the truly charming things that the toddler does is to shout out when he is really enthusiastic about something.  Like, “I heard it!  Bird, mommy, I heard it bird!” Or, “ant! I see it ant, mommy!”  (He is fascinated by ants.  Maybe because they’re down at his level, easy to see by just [...]


First, peeing in the car happened again today.  I won’t go into details.
On to the Supreme Being.  That is what older son and I have taken to calling the toddler.  He is so cute and hilarious and sweet…and demanding and unreasonable and tyrannical.  Reasons he has had tantrums:
1.  Because his brother got to eat a [...]


Well, I just haven’t had the time lately to update here as I should.  But I think things are settling down a bit, so, I hope, I will be able to get back to more regular posting.
So, you’re probably wondering about the pee.  First, the toddler is starting to want to use the toilet.  Mostly, [...]


Sorry for the long silence here.  We’ve been busy.  Glad to be back.
We don’t have cable anymore, so a lot of our tv watching is on the computer.  Hulu, youtube, netflix streaming, whatever.  Lately we have enjoyed Free to Be You and Me videos on youtube.  My parents were hippies, and I loved these stories. [...]


Older son:  Once upon a time, in a world of butts, there was a boy who was made out of butts.  And everything in that world was made out of butts.  The houses were made out of butts.  The sun was made out of butts.  The snow was made out of butts.  (pause here for [...]


So.  The boys are about to go meet their grandmother and auntie, who are visiting from far away and who they don’t get to see very often.  I thought it would be nice to make cards for them, so we did that little art project this morning.
Unfortunately, older son is absolutely obsessed with the words [...]
