My daughter had a little Halloween party at her preschool today and she was so excited about it that she could hardly sleep last night. She got to wear a costume to school and the parents came to the last half hour and joined the kids for a little buffet (My contribution sucked, but that’s [...]

Parks and Wreck

My child was a big drooler. I kept an extra shirt in my purse until about 3 months ago. And she’s 3 1/2. When I realized that the same shirt had been in my purse for about 6 weeks and was covered in lint and other bottom-of-purse debris, I switched it out for an extra pair of pants because we were in the midst of potty training by that point. Those same pants stayed in my purse for several months and I eventually took them out during one of my intensive purse-cleaning sessions. That move may have been slightly premature…
Out With the Riff-Raffi

I’m confused. How in the name of Greg/Sam, Anthony, Murray, and Jeff has my child been exposed to the likes of Raffi without my consent or knowledge? Prior to this week I was vaguely aware of Raffi’s existence but did not know anything about him. I had heard of the song, “Baby Beluga” but did not know the tune nor did I care to. Imagine my surprise when my kid picks up a Raffi concert DVD at the library and says, “Let’s get this ‘Waffy’ movie, Mom!”…

My daughter is starting preschool on Tuesday and there are lots and lots of forms to fill out, lists to read and agreements to sign and date. Most of them seem to pertain to peanut allergies and my rights and responsibilities in regards to them…

Driving in the car today my daughter said, “Ya… Ya… Unibrow starts with a Y! Like you!”

So, it turns out 3-year olds aren’t all that great at keeping birthday secrets.
Hairoine Addiction

For the record, if you ever get your child’s hair cut for the very first time and want to keep a snip of hair for the baby book, you might want to bring along a little Ziplock or something for storage. If you don’t, you just might end up having to take home the snip in a folded up piece of tinfoil. Which is fine. As long as you don’t put it in your wallet and then forget about it for 5 months, until it falls out on the counter at the coffee shop. Which is fine. Except that the barista might think you’re a drug addict.
You’re Not the Boss of Me

3-year olds are bossy. Totally bossy. Or at least mine is. Sort of like Quadaffi in a Pull-Up. I’ve read the parenting books, sought out help from the online gurus and asked for advice from “good” parents. Everybody seems to say the same thing: It’s an important part of her development. A phase. Great…. Another one?
Baby Driver

My 3-year old gets two M&Ms when she goes “poo poo” on the potty. I realize that there are divergent opinions on rewarding children with treats and that this practice, in the minds of some, may lead down a road of overindulgence, a life of crime and dental cavities but this is the life we have chosen.
