Scene: Grant invites Handsome Hubby to join him for a game of Wii Boxing. Grant: “Do you wanna play?” HH: “Sure.” Grant: “It’s really cool, you get to pick a guy and be a character.” HH: “Sounds good. What’s your character’s name?” (Listening in, at this point, I’m thinking along the lines of The Hammer, […]
What’s in a name? Or, please forget everything we ever told you about how great it is to be able to read…
As you moms out there probably know, it’s back to school shopping time. As you moms out there also probably know, it’s important to encourage a young child when they are a beginning reader. Grant has become a good reader, with a pretty voracious appetite for new words to read. Great, right? I always thought […]
No skinny dipping allowed.
Scene: The fitting room at our local Target. Grant is trying on swim trunks. He found a pair he liked, but they didn’t fit. Me: “Grant, these are too big for you. See? They don’t fit you in the waist. You need a smaller pair.” Grant: “No, these fit. It’s OK.” Me: “No, Honey, if […]
How about a knuckle sandwich?
Scene: my kitchen. I have fixed Grant a grilled cheese sandwich, per his request, and am setting it in front of him…. Me: “Here ya go!” Grant: “Thank you.” Me: “You’re welcome.” Grant: “Uh, mom? Aren’t you forgetting to say something?” I quickly run through the mental transcript of our conversation… all seems OK to […]
One foot in the sugar bowl and one foot in a mud puddle…
So yesterday I was posting about what a funny little bruiser of a boy Grant is. However, he came home from school and asked me if I would like to hear a Mother’s Day song he is learning at school. Well of course I do! Who loves me every morning? Who loves me every night? […]
Yep. I have THAT kid.
Grant is not always the best behaved little kindergartner…. he’s a BOY. He wiggles. He talks out of turn. He doesn’t always follow directions. He runs with scissors. Typical 6 year old boy stuff. When I picked him up from school on Friday, I received a report from his teacher that he created quite a […]
I need no introduction….
It’s Me… Grant. Duh.
A hole in his head. (In a good way.)
Both of Grant’s front teeth have been loose for a while. I mean, we are talking loooooooooooooooooooooooooooose. We’re talking so loose that he could push them out, almost horizontally. We’re talking so loose that those suckers cast a shadow. We’re talking so loose that if he came in for a kiss and a hug, I […]
A 5 minute car ride lasts 5 minutes…. A bad word lasts forever.
The other week I was making one of my many trips up and down Los Al Blvd… running errands… picking up kids… dropping them off someplace else… (going back to the store to pick up the one thing that was actually on my shopping list, yet failed to get.) I was frustrated, for sure. However, […]
‘Scuse me! Comin’ through!
The situation: I’m trying to get Grant to clean his room…Me: “Grant, it’s time to clean up your toys. I’ve been asking you to do it, and I MEAN IT! It’s time…. You can’t even walk in here!” Grant: (thoughtfully) “Well how about I just clear you a path…?”
