My daughter is now four and I have a fairly serious concern about her. The kid loves bad jokes. As a woman who is extremely obsessive about being a laid-back-be-your-own-person type of parent (yes, I see the irony in that statement…), I feel truly stuck between a rock and a knock-knock joke here.

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 [...]

My daughter came home from preschool today and said, “I like to hug, but some people don’t. Olivia, Kendall, and Hanna like to hug but Ethan and Jacob do not.” Ain’t it the truth…
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…

I went to the local community center yesterday to sign my daughter up for a preschool program. A much-coveted spot had finally opened up and I was more than excited to take it. I had called in advance and they were expecting me. A young man of about 20 greeted me at the front desk, shook my hand and said, “You must be Miss Mary!” Um, alrighty… He showed me around and explained the procedures (yes on sunscreen-application assistance, no on butt-wiping assistance)…

But for the love of God, the CIA could take a few pointers from my 3-year old when it comes to torturous interrogation tactics. Waterboarding? Sleep deprivation? Ha! Make them drive a Volvo around for a few hours with a 3-year old strapped into the back and I guarantee you their subjects will crack under the pressure.
Educate Me

A is three now and has an April birthday, so she will not be starting kindergarten until the fall of 2011. I had not intended to enroll her in a preschool program until after she turned four, hoping to maximize these precious first few years at home with me. Well, things change and she is practically begging to spend more time with children so I am now looking at programs starting THIS fall.
