For children loose teeth are of paramount importance! BUT I thought Deep Thinker would NEVER lose his first tooth.
In kindergarten, his first peer reported a baby loose tooth. Then the next person. Pretty soon everyone is losing teeth. Except Deep Thinker. He handled it well…until about the middle of first grade. Then a few times [...]

I was trying to get some last minute holiday gift ideas. When I ask Deep Thinker what he wants for Christmas, he only says “Wii.” I’m not getting another game console. But he simply can’t think of anything else.
SO, instead, I asked him lots of questions during a regular conversation that had nothing to do [...]

Rowdy Rebel was using a thumb tack and paper on the carpet to make me a picture. He did this by poking holes in the paper aaaaallll the way around until he had formed a bat. (It’s kind of like he cut the bat out except that he did it by poking holes with a [...]

Deep Thinker has been the unfortunate victim of two crushes.
One happened last year. A girl accidentally made him bump into a door, and this gave him a huge black eye. Then, she developed a crush on him. She’s very cute (in my opinion), but as he puts it “bossy and mean.” This year, they’ve kind [...]

We used a cord blood coupon code M4125 for a discount of $250 to keep down the cost of cord blood banking with our second and third children. We didn’t do this with our first child due to the expense…That was in 2001. Over the last 7 years, cord blood research has been used to [...]

We were watching the final debate between the presidential candidates tonight. I like to hear what my sons think about lots of things. I thought I’d ask them what they think about the presidential candidates. Not surprisingly, I couldn’t get anything edgewise out of my four year-old except that he wants to play Nintendo. Understandable.
But [...]

What a fun conversation I had with my four-year old yesterday! He wanted to know all about college. There are several punchlines in this conversation, so I’m just going to share each line with you as he asked and answered questions:
Rowdy Rebel: “Mom, when I go to college, can I do whatever I want?” (I [...]

Yesterday Rowdy Rebel and I were rushing out the door. We needed to pick up Deep Thinker from school. I told Rowdy Rebel to turn off the TV (as he considers this his important chore, no comment on how easy or un-chorelike it is…he’s only 4 after all…). Then I bolted out the door, waiting [...]

Well, Deep Thinker doesn’t REALLY babysit. He’s only 7.
But he looooves watching and entertaining his baby brother. And what intrigues me most is how talented he is at doing this. He can get the baby to take a pacifier more quickly than I can. When Deep Thinker talks, the baby looks in his direction (because [...]
