Is this the message you want your kids to hear?? Horton Hears A Who movie review

“A person’s a person, no matter how small!”
Yes, it opened yesterday (big) and being the movie loser lover I am, I took Kid to Horton Hears a Who.
Sure, it was colorful, silly and most importantly, less than 90 minutes long, but there was this message.
And they kept repeating it.

of smells and eggs

I am amazed at her 4-year-old sensory recall. It’s February, close to a year since we dyed eggs, and yet…..
Hmmmmm. What’s that SMELL??
Vinegar. I’m trying to clean something in the kitchen.
Oh.
It smells like the EASTER BUNNY!

Given my grumpiness lately and Kid’s around-ness with winter break, I recently decided to check out Your Four-Year-Old: Wild and Wonderful by Louise Ames. It’s part of a child development series of books (Your One-Year-Old: The Fun-Loving, Fussy 12-To 24-Month-Old, Your Two-Year-Old: Terrible or Tender, etc.). They may be somewhat dated, but […]

is this a guy thing?

Lately, the hubs has been home, rather than globe trotting, so certain, er, “issues” have arisen. It doesn’t help that I’m still grumpy. Sure, Kid started preschool again, but she has today off and waged WWIII had a playdate that began like an aggravated, stalled-out engine and turned into Satan’s off-trail motocross.
But my […]
