About T
Dear Dad,
The recalled piece of the play-scape came today. I got out your tools and started to work on it right away. I hope you don’t mind that I talk to you while I use your tools. They were so much a part of you I just feel like you are there watching me when I [...]

Build and Grow Workshop - October
Time once again for the build and grow update. Twice a month Lowes presents a Build and Grow Workshop for kids. T loves to go and loves the projects. Today’s project was a Frankenstring Magic Trick. (Pull the string out one side and it is red. Pull it out the other side and it is [...]
Funny or Sad?
Should I be amused or concerned? T had gotten a Star Trek toy from a fast food restaurant. It was Lt. Uhura. There is a button on the back of it that you push and it talks. This one says,”Captain, We’re being hailed.” T was having fun pushing it and hearing her repeat this one [...]
My Random Tuesday
I like Tuesdays. I like them because it seems the best day to just blurt stuff out and not worry about putting things into any logical order. I think that Keely over at the UnMom is to thank for allowing us this Tuesday freedom from order by coming up with her weekly Random Tuesday Thoughts.

“I think you heard me wrong. When I said, “it is time for nap?”, you must have heard “would you like to take a nap.””
“No thank you. I want to play with my cars.”
“OK, let me try again. No thank you is not an option. Your options for [...]
His First Two Wheeled Bike
Is it just me, or are kids not supposed to be excited about bicycles? I remember one Christmas my older brother and I got matching three speed bicycles. They were WAY too big for me. I mean sitting on the seat I couldn’t even get my feet to touch the pedals, never mind put them [...]
Tales From the Toilet
Let’s place a disclaimer here: For anyone who doesn’t want to hear about the musings of a toddler about poop, come back tomorrow and hopefully I will have moved on to another subject.
A month ago I was waiting patiently for T to finish his business on the toilet. “Are you done yet?” I asked. “Not [...]
Reading the longer books.
I am not sure how old kids should be when you move up to longer books. Where is the point when they go from those short books that take five minutes to read and don’t require them to remember a story line for too long, to the longer books that you read a little bit [...]
