We went to T-ball practice for Deep Thinker last night. They got their team shirts! The shirts are RED, Rowdy Rebel’s favorite color. He begged me to get one for hi, so I tried. But the team Mom said we can’t buy another until all team members have their shirts. That’s important. I get [...]

What a great day!
Rowdy Rebel has been screaming a lot at night because I put a stop to the climbing in bed with mom and dad really late. He rolls around so much it’s impossible to sleep! This new program is NOT making him happy. But I don’t care. He’s sleeping in his bed–all night. [...]

So, we gave [...]

The next day, Rowdy Rebel (the three-year old) explained to my husband: “Daddy, nember when you sleep at naptime with me?” And my husband said yes.

When I tucked in my six-year old last night, he said (out of nowhere), “Hey Mommy, I know how you can tell if the person you are marrying is nice.”
Full of curiosity, I asked him how to tell. With his eyes opened really wide, he said, “You get to know em.”
I said that’s a really [...]

My first grader (nickname Deep Thinker) always pays very close attention to the rules and almost never breaks them. Here is an example that illustrates his enthusiasm for rules gone overboard.
He told me that he didn’t play with his friends at school last week because they played tag, but tag isn’t allowed.
So I asked, “Are [...]

First, let me tell you that if there were any such thing as a cute pronunciation contest, my little Rowdy Rebel would win hands-down. He has the cutest pronunciations EVER. A few examples include:
bafroon (bathroom)
kajamas (pajamas)
shpozhbob (Spongebob)
shwawich (sandwich)
I love listening to him express his thoughts–especially when he uses these words.
His grammar is also…adorable. (I know, [...]

Tonight, Rowdy Rebel looked sooo cute as he said the blessing. His eyes were closed, he grinned the entire time, and instead of putting his hands together, his arms were spread out like he was ready to give the world a big hug…or a big speech. Here was his blessing:
“God, thank you for my brothery. [...]
