Pay more attention ...

These days, my kids are teaching me to pay more attention to them... their psychological needs, especially. My 6-year-old daughter, Devyn, was put in an in-school suspension for the last halfof the school day because she pushed another little girl down and caused her to scrape her knee. What I...

I'm Going to "Slick" Him

My 6-year-old little girl, Devyn, plays this video game on the computer (I think it's part of littlestpetshop.com). She is the frog and she has to eat all the mosquitos. She is really good at it! Devyn creates her own words... she is so creative. I love it! She yells at me from across the room, and... Sign in to see full entry.

How do You Respond When Your Child Asks Where Babies Come From?

The father answers, "Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Proclamation of the Emancipation of the Constipation

No, this is not a political or legal piece. It is indeed, a piece relating to my 8-year-old son's first experience (that he can remember) with a temporary intestinal problem that has been referred to as dense poop. (I ask myself why I have been writing about poop so much these days...

From the Second He or She is Born

My good friend of 35 years just gave birth to a brand new baby boy! Ian is his name and he is already teaching my friend that she needs to lose that extra weight she gained while pregnant. He may only be a mere babe, but with as much as he eats, poops, eats, poops, and eats and poops some more, she... Sign in to see full entry.

Life = Camp

Oh Devyn ...

My family has been visiting one of my oldest and dearest friends for the past week. My friend gave birth to a little girl, named Cassidy, 19 months ago. Of course, my kids, Justin and Devyn, are older... ages 6 and 4, respectively. Justin behaves wonderfully with the baby/toddler. Devyn, on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Why is the Sky Blue?

To her mother's chagrin, a 5-year-old girl in my son Justin's Kindergarten class would always refer to God as a man. The mother asked her daughter why she thought God was a man. Her daughter's answer? Because if God was a woman, the sky would be pink! Chuckle, chuckle... Sign in to see full entry.
