Kid with a sense of humor

My son, depsite the many obstacles he faces on a daily basis and the little things that stress him out, has an amazing sense of humor.

A while back when the potty training started (about a year ago) my son learned that he was different than his sister down there because he walked in on her going potty. He asked me why she didn't have a "wee wee" so I simply said "because girls and boys are differnt down there. Boys have 'wee wees' and girls have 'gee gees'". And he was satisfied with that answer (you don't need too much of an explanation beyond that when dealing with a 2 1/2 year old).

The other day, while playing Mario with my husband, my son says to him as if doing smack talk like some people do while playing games/sports, and says "You're a geegee!" Mikey's HAB/respite provider was here and we had to cover our faces to keep him from seeing us laugh so we didn't encourage him. It was hilarious and we had never heard him say something like that before. One of the darndest things that kids say moments.

The other day, one of my part-timers in my preschool was here. This little boy has a bad tendency to whine and have tantrums if he doesn't get his way and I guess Mikey had had enough. The little boy started to whine at another kid because he wanted the toy the other kid was playing with and Mikey says to him in the most grown up voice, "Stop whining. Why you have to whine all the time?" It was hilarious. It was also a huge moment as Mikey didn't stress out over it, or yell at him, or hit him or anything. He calmy told him to stop whining- Huge deal for my son and nrmally he would just start yelling or hitting someone who got on his nerves like that...

At least he has his parents sarcastic sense of humor- future stand up maybe?

Ball up and Cry

So my hubby has been out of town for over the last week and he won't be back for almost another week. I am going insane. I don't think he realizes how much we appreciate everything he does and that we do know how hard he works and all the things he does for us. It becomes apparent especially when he leaves. But I want to have the house just as clean and kept up when he gets home as it is when he is here but I am finding it very difficult to keep up with everything as well as it is when he is here. My husband pampers me. He cleans the house, does yard work, does the check book, cooks, tends to the kids, fixes the car, does the dishes, the laundry, etc... But I also miss him. I am missing how he makes me laugh, makes me feel better when I am stressed, plays with the kids... My insomnia has been horrible with him gone. There are nights that I end up fussing at him to rollover because his snoring keeps me up, but when he is gone, the silence is maddening. I want the snoring ba...

From a Preschool Teacher's Point of View - Things Parents Need to Teach Their Children During the Preschool Age

Image
     I have been teaching preschool for a few years now and it astounds me how many children enroll in my class lacking so many basic skills that many would assume come naturally. I have had parents ask me what they can do to give their child a good boost in the right direction for success in school. I am proud to say that my students who have moved on to kindergarten each year, start school with a noticeable head start compared to their classmates not only academically but socially and majority start already blending letters, working on sight words and word families as well as starting basic addition and subtraction. Here are a few things that I feel, for the love of all things holy and for the sake of your child, that you should do as your child is a toddler and moves into preschool age. 1. Say "No" every once in a while. Set some limits and stick to them and let your child learn that they cannot just whine until they get their way. Life is full of disappointme...

   I am such an emotional train wreck right now I don't even know where to start.... Thursday I broke my back tooth while eating pizza. It is my own fault as I waited too long to have the cap put on after my root canal... I had to have an emergency root canal while pregnant with Lily and the root canal capped out my insurance so I was waiting until the new year rolled over to have the cap/crown put on but then I found out I was pregnant with Pelia in January. With it already being such a high risk pregnancy and all the other complications, I didn't want any dental work to cause more stress on the pregnancy so I waited even longer, and I guess I waited too long... I have a last minute dentist appointment this evening to have it checked out and I am sure I will have to get an implant so that the tooth above it doesn't start to drop down.  To top it off when one of the mom's to my preschooler's came to pick up her daughter yesterday I asked that she make sure she was h...
