I’m starting a “stories” unit in my 3K class. Today I told them 1 story while I drew a the pictures.

Later I read them a story without showing the pictures, and they had to draw their own pictures from imagination.

Sometimes I don’t want to listen.

A student of mine went to Bali last [...]

Let The Sunshine In

I started dabbling in sunless tanning when I was in my young teens.
Early attempts resulted in strange odors, not unlike cat food, and tell-tale orange spots on tricky areas like knees and hands.
I remember trying to make up a lie about why my knees were inhumanly orange. Something about working in the garden. [...]

Atlantis Resort public relations emailed me, and it turns out that they did have a few more pictures from our shallow water dolphin encounter!
Jojo tossing a fish to Atlas, me squinting.

Me, still squinting, tossing a fish to Atlas. I’m not grumpy, I just hadn’t slept in about 28 hours.

Dolphin hug!

Squinting together! I bet the dolphin [...]

This past week, my husband was away in Kenya for a physics conference.
It was a special week because Deeds started school! He will go three mornings a week to a Montessori school, and eat lunch at school too. The other two days he is involved in a well organized playgroup.

The first morning of [...]

Anyone with a Lego-loving child realizes quite quickly that Legos can become an expensive habit. Jojo loves Lego like nothing else, and I was thrilled to be introduced to two budget-friendly Lego sets that your brick builder will love, too! First of all, lest you doubt the validity of my claims, I wanted [...]

I got Jojo an Indiana Jones hat for his birthday from Amazon.com. He has had it for about 2 weeks and worn it every day. I took these pictures on the first or second day he had it. The first photo was the result of my asking him to “make an Indiana Jones face.”
About [...]

Wordful Wednesday: TeeJuice

I love those little appliqued birthday shirts that feature the age of the child in whimsical bold fabrics.
The problem for me is that I can’t sew! I don’t have a sewing machine. Or a fabric store. Really I am a lost cause.
But! I had the opportunity to review TeeJuice Fabric Markers by Jacquard Products, and [...]

Before I went to Hanoi last week, I spent some time with Deeds.
I felt all nostalgic/guilty since I was about to leave him for a week.
Here we have Deeds riding a wheeled horse that used to belong to Jojo.
He is wearing Jojo’s shoes (too big), a pair of Happy Heinys training pants, a [...]

Sunset on Truc Bach Lake, in front of the delicious Foodshop 45 resturant [59 Truc Bach St., Ba Dinh Dist., Hanoi]. Fantastic Indian food and great ambiance.

Rush hour in Cau Giay district. I’m learning how to cross the street.
My method involves holding my breath. I also recommend finding a local about to cross the street [...]

Will the REAL Mr. Potato Head please stand up?

Deeds has definitely claimed his favorite piece of BlogHer ‘09 swag.
The funny thing is I have pictures of myself at age 2 doing the very same thing with the old style Potato Head glasses. My playset included a pipe. Yes, I did think smoking a [...]
