Grant can be the most stubborn little turkey. When he was about 2 years old he wasn’t really talking, but he had a few words to go along with some hand gestures. One of those was for getting down from his high chair at the table. He would say “down, down” and point down at […]
Why buy the toys when the box will suffice?
You may be asking yourself, “What the heck is that?” “Are they those nut-jobs who have plastic floor protectors running down their hallways and high-traffic areas?” “Oh no! I hope they aren’t the kind of people who keep the plastic on their lampshades…” “Do they have those stiff vinyl covers on their furniture?!” Of course […]
Mr. Literal
Devin has a few friends over. They are playing video games and being typical high school dudes. You know what cramps Devin’s style (besides his poor fashion sense?) A 4 year old trying to be one of the high school dudes. Grant was being a complete spaz, so I told him “Leave the big guys […]
Um, I think you missed a spot….
The Request: “Grant, please go do your hair.” The Result:
Monkey see. Monkey do.
Someone in our house watched Peter Jackson’s long, horrible, over-done version of King Kong. Someone in our house enjoyed it a little too much. Someone in our house pretended to be King Kong and tried to swing from the hook that holds his towel in the bathroom. Can you guess who that someone is?
Weekend Wrap Up
Friday night over dinner Devin says, “Hey, did I tell you I joined 2 clubs at school?” Rich and I both said no he hadn’t told us, but we were happy to hear it. (We’re both firm believers in the If You’re Happy Socially, You’ll Do Well Academically principle.) “Which clubs did you join, Dev?” […]
I’m glad he likes my friends…
Grant has a crush. I’m talking a full on, must think about her all the time, infatuation with my friend Jodi C. I’m on the phone: “Are you talkin’ to Jodi?” We drive past a park: “I can go there with Jodi!” My phone rings: “Is that Jodi?” Out of the blue: “I think Jodi […]
What dreams may come.
I sleep like the dead, so I did not hear Grant calling “Mom….?! Dad…..?!” at 2:00 in the morning. I did wake up around 5:00 and noticed Rich wasn’t next to me, but figured he had trouble sleeping and was on the couch watching some boring show on the history of poop or the scientific […]
It’s not a Wii, it’s a Mii
Grant’s video game privileges were taken away yesterday. They mean a lot to him. (In fact, video game deprivation was the way we got him potty trained – took about a day and half.) He was pretty unhappy about the situation. So yesterday evening I was getting ready to go to the second of three […]
Give ’em an inch, they’ll take a mile.
I will definitely have to be more specific when I give Grant permission to take “one small toy” to bed with him. As you can see, he did indeed take a small toy into bed. However, it is connected to the video games… Turkey!
