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 Grant….a) completely ignore what the coach said […]
Follow that dad!
Much to his big brothers’ dismay, Grant has been watching Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, The Wonder Pets and Curious George lately. They frequently have episodes where the characters “track” an animal of some kind. Rich is also an avid outdoorsman and even has a book called Animal Tracks & Scat that was his […]
I wanted to be a hall monitor in the 3rd grade. At 40? Not so much.
Grant just hurt himself running through the house (3rd time tonight.) “Stop running in the house!” “Stop running!” “Stop running!” “Grant! Stop running!” Grant runs by a chair and hits his foot on it. There is howling, crying, clutching of the foot…. I sit him down and remind him that the reason he bumped his […]
Transcripts from the last 3 minutes…
As I am fixing Grant his lunch… “Thank you that you’re making a sandwich.” “Good job making that sandwich.” “And you can pour milk.” “I like pudding. The brown pudding that’s over there.” (pointing to the fridge) “We have pudding on this planet.” “You can get the sun in your eyes and in your eyebrows.” […]
Am I being Punk’d? So bad it’s funny… or at least it will be someday.

Focus? Who needs that?
This? This is not the face of T-Ball. This is the true face of T-Ball.
Driving me up the wall. Really.
Scene: morning; our living room. Mom: Grant, please go take off your pajamas, get dressed and put your pajamas back in their drawer. Grant: OK (exits, stage left.) A few moments go by. Mom: Grant? Did you get dressed? Grant: Not yet. Mom: Get dressed please and put your pajamas away where they go. Grant: […]
Bar Refaeli – Green M&M smackdown.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition came out last week. The first man in the house to grab it out of the pile of mail? Grant. I think he prefers the back cover to the front cover though…
O creativity, creativity… wherefore art thou, creativity?
Grant spent the weekend at Gramma & Poppa’s house. In addition to serving waffles on demand, Gramma is cool because she likes boy things. Dinosaurs. Planes. Space shuttles. Science. (shut up shut up shut up. Yes. I am sexist. I think math and science are boy things. ew.) Anyhoo. Under the umbrella of science (both […]
Butterflies are beautiful, but don’t stand underneath them.
Grant has a bunch of plastic bugs. I don’t know where they came from (I know I didn’t buy them!) but they’re scattered all around in the toy bins. The only one he plays with at all is a butterfly. We’d like to think he’s pretending it’s Mothra, but probably not. The butterfly’s name was […]
