It's been loose for about 2 weeks now, but this morning before our very eyes he wiggled it out! It's the right front bottom tooth (whatever the technical name of that tooth is) and he already has the adult tooth showing a bit. He's pleased as punch, and I now need to make sure the tooth fairy has nice new shiny quarters for tonight! I think we've ( Read more... )

This weekend went by in a flash. Saturday we decided, with E's assent, to skip soccer. We had a hugely busy weekend planned, it was COLD, and we hadn't had a morning to ease into things in weeks and weeks. It was GREAT to not be rushing, though the kids had energy to burn and then some. We had pancakes (yum) and got ready to go to the pumpkin ( Read more... )

There is so much, I am just resorting to bullet points to manage my time ( Read more... )

E is in the bathroom last night, had to get up during dinner for a "sit down", so to speak. He's in there awhile, as usual, and then we hear the dreaded "uh oh...Mommy?" and he's ready to go into an hour long discussion on why what happened did happen WITHOUT telling me what actually happened ( Read more... )

She's got a sinus infection, poor bug, ( Read more... )

Thank you Sarah Palin for this bit of wisdom about why the economy is tanking ( Read more... )

We're realizing that E may occasionally be riding in other people's cars and need an inexpensive, easy to install, booster seat. Note to self, start researching!

After much back and forth with everyone concerned, E's teacher began on Friday sending home a description (smileys or stickers) of how he did throughout the day. She is amazing, she covered every single period of the day, which is so incredibly helpful. He did well on Friday, the only times he didn't get a smiley is recess/lunch, when at some point ( Read more... )

I need a hug.
