(As you read this, please remember that one of our boys is named Mitchell….) Grant and Handsome Hubby were playing with some toy planes. Many of them are replicas of WWII war planes. As they were playing with them, HH was telling Grant the names of the planes (i.e. “This is an A-10 Warthog” or […]
Baseball pop quiz.
~~~~~ originally published March 10, 2009 ~~~~~~~ Grant had another baseball game on Saturday. It was very exciting. I offer you the highlights, in multi-choice form… A coach drew a circle in the dirt to show Grant where his position was in the infield, in the hopes that he would stay somewhere near it. Did […]
It’s got a good beat, but can ya dance to it?
Grant just came into the kitchen, proudly holding an invisible guitar. G: Do you like my invisible guitar? Me: Yes I do. G: Wanna hear it? Me: Of course I do. G: (various sounds, growls and humming, while pretending to rock out.) Didja like it? Me: Of course I do. What’s it called? G: I […]
Boobies, Ta-Tas and Racks, Oh MY!
Scene: Kohl’s Department Store. I had just finished standing in a line in order to make a return at the customer service counter. This line began in a walkway with candles and house wares on one side and lingerie on the other. While waiting in line with Grant, my attention had been drawn to the […]
My son, Billy Mays….
This post contains Amazon or other affiliate links. Grant and I were just in our local Target. He is riding in the cart, pointing out the things he has seen advertised on TV. “Look! For kissable lips!” “Takes care of mildew stains!” “Look…..” “Mom!!!! Look!!! A Ped-Egg!!!!” (at full volume…) “Grant. You do not need […]
Stinkergarten
OK. After Grant purposely tanked his Kindergarten Assessment, I sat him down and explained to him that by being a stinker he has jeopardized his Kindergarten future. No snack time with the other kids… no recess on the playground… no story time on the Reading Rug… no being Like His Big Brothers. His eyes got […]
Is there a Kindergarten class specifically for stinkers?
My 5 year old is in the doghouse. Why, you ask? Did he write on the walls? No. Although he’s done that before. Did he write on the bathroom mirror with toothpaste and his finger? No. Although he’s done that, too. Did he completely thrash his room? Well he has, but no, no, that’s not […]
Dear Lord, please give me the strength to be Grant’s Mom…
Grant is not cooperating. He’s been told to clean up his room. I am not going to do it for him. It actually looks messier each time I check on him. I just gave him a swat on his rear end because he sassed me about it. (Swat, with hand, totally appropriate and more for […]
Overheard at lunch today…
My precious 5 year old has learned a snippet of some inappropriate song. Grant is singing “I looooove feelin’ dirty! I loooove feelin’ cheap! I looooove feelin’ dirty! I loooove feelin’ cheap!” over and over, like a broken record. Jump on into my nightmare. The water’s warm. ~~~~ UPDATE ~~~~~ Just found out what it […]
I didn’t think sodium was such a problem.
It became obvious to me today that Grant learned a new phrase and was just chomping at the bit to use it… Grant: “Mom, may I have popcorn, please?” Mom: “Sure buddy. Thanks for asking nicely.” 3 minutes and 15 seconds later… Mom: “Grant, your popcorn is ready!” Grant: “Does it have salt on it?” […]
