I know, it sounds like the name of a band or something.  Ty and I went to Kohl’s this evening.  He has always been fascinated by mannequins, and this trip was no exception.  We saw a male mannequin in the men’s department, and Ty ran over, grabbed the mannequin’s hand and said, “mommy, can we… Continue reading Stripping the Mannequin

Ty, a big fan of angry birds, has also spent plenty of time playing “Angry Birds Rio”.  In the game, when it starts, you see the big “Christ the Redeemer” statue that Rio is famous for.  So later, I find this funny you tube video that makes fun of how obsessed people are with Angry… Continue reading D’Oh, Maybe Sunday School is in Order

As we were heading upstairs for bed last night, Tyler and Kevin were on the stairs playing with the valentine’s balloon that Ty had gotten Kevin.  They would let it go in the stairwell, and then laugh and try to reach the ribbon hanging down.  At one point it lodged a little lower on the… Continue reading This is a Job For…

Am I the only one who doesn’t quite get the point of having preschoolers exchange valentines?  None of them can read or write yet!  I get it for grade-schoolers, they can pick out valentines for their friends and address them and sign them themselves.   But I’m not entirely sure what a 3 or 4 year-old… Continue reading Happy Valentimes Day!

I was playing with Ty and he was trying to watch tv.  I kept putting my face in front of his, and after a few times he grabs my face and says “mama, that is what’s called ‘annoying’ !”  can’t argue with that!

I’ve discovered that it’s difficult to get any good intel from a 4-year old. We needed to get a gift for Dominic’s birthday party (the first birthday party Ty’s been invited to). I wanted to see if Ty could offer any helpful suggestions. The conversation went something like this: Me: “Ty, what does Dominic like,… Continue reading Intel of Questionable Value

You know it’s time to get your kid’s hair cut when he starts asking for it!  “mommy, I neeeeeeed to get my hair cut, can we stop at the haircut store?”.  It was so cute, because we had Shiner with us, so Ty took Shiner in so that he could meet the “little Shiner” that… Continue reading A Stop at the “Haircut Store”

We have been having trouble with Ty going to sleep lately.  Between his protests of “I’m scared!” and “I can’t fall asleep, I don’t know how!” he hasn’t been getting enough sleep.  I suppose I should have listened to Kevin several months ago and stopped laying with Tyler until he fell asleep.  Now I need… Continue reading Sleep Issues

Dany caught me on the way out as I was picking Tyler up yesterday.  She wanted to speak to me about Tyler moving up to Pre-k sometime in the next month or so.  she said she knows that Sue is really looking forward to having Ty in her class, and Jess is going to be… Continue reading Movin’ On Up (Someday Soon)

I had a chance to talk to Jessica about the Tyler’s “CORI report” that was sent home.  It didn’t indicate any problems, but I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to have a conference with her, or only if we had concerns.  she said he is doing great in her class and she has no… Continue reading Ty’s CORI report, or, “My Son is Great, But I Already Knew That!” 🙂
