Nathan introduced me to his new imaginary friend today on the way home from running an errand after preschool.  I heard him say, “……Frankie.”  When I asked him who that was he replied matter-of-factly, “Snowy Mountain’s brother!”   I was intrigued because I had not been aware that Snowy Mountain had a brother (or a…

We’ll be celebrating Will’s First Birthday at Walt Disney World this year and we are super-stoked!

Nathan checked out some science experiment books a while back at the library and we’ve been delving into them lately with all of this rainy weather.  On Monday we finally made some Ooblik, which was really just a science recipe of cornstarch and colored water.  It was fun feeling it though and it was hard…

After lunch today David went to get a haircut.  When Nathan saw that Jim (the barber) was finishing up with David, Nathan walked over and politely asked him, “Excuse me, can Daddy have a lollipop?”  He’s obviously used to getting one after his haircut so it’s only natural for him to assume Daddy gets one,…

I finally snapped some pictures of Nathan at his sports skills class at The Little Gym.  So far they’ve covered hockey and golf – two of his faves.  Next, is baseball which just about rounds out his top three (although I’d sneak football and soccer in as a close fourths!)

I went to “observe” a few classrooms today at the Montessori we have a spot at for Nathan.  When the Assistant Director introuduced me to each classroom as being an “observer”, I got to thinking that it wasn’t an accurate way to describe what I was doing AT ALL. What was really going on is…
