Responsible parents know that it’s completely inappropriate to laugh at your kids when they say things that are disrespectful. Unfortunately, sometimes they say things that are so funny, you have to hide your head in a pillow to try to desperately hold onto the title of “responsible parent.”
Phillip (age 3) is going through a [...]

We celebrated our last week of summer this week with a trip to the zoo, several visits to the neighborhood pool, and Phillip’s first dentist appointment.
Phillip had a wonderful visit, despite the fact that he promised us over breakfast that he would not open his mouth for anyone. His successful visit was thanks in large [...]

I haven’t blogged much this month. One of the downsides to using my iPhone constantly is that I hardly ever get on my laptop anymore. I can email and Facebook from my iPhone, but I haven’t really figured out how to blog from it yet.
We are settling into Little Rock. It seems a little easier [...]

I am NOT cut out to be a single mom! Lannie comes home for the weekend today, and I am SO glad. The kids have been extra emotional with their dad gone– especially Phillip. It took me two days to get him to calm down.
Caleb and I have noticed that Phillip acts especially crazy right [...]

Overheard conversation between Caleb and Elizabeth:
“Hey, Dude.”
“I’m not a dude. If I’m a dude, where’s my mustache?”
“Not all dudes have mustaches.”
“Okay, but all dudes have hair.”
“Some dudes don’t have very much hair.”
“Okay, all dudes have hair somewhere.“

We took all three of the kids to see “High School Musical 3″ in the movie theatre tonight. We watched the first two movies on the Disney Channel, free of charge. They sucked us in with the first two so they could charge us $40 to see the third installment.
Phillip had a hard time staying [...]

A sad amendment to the notes I wrote about Elizabeth’s second teacher change. We found out last week that her teacher, Mr. Cowart, had been in the hospital with a very serious case of pneumonia since his leave of absence. We also learned that he had battled cancer in the past and that it may [...]

I haven’t posted about “funny things that Phillip says” in a while, so all of his funny comments are piling up, just waiting to get out.
He has been observing our school situation (Caleb is homeschooled, and Ellie goes to public school) without much comment, so I wasn’t really sure how he was processing it until [...]

I am so proud of Caleb’s efforts in school so far this year. He has really been motivated to work hard, and he has come so far in just 7 weeks. He finished reading Call of the Wild today, marking the sixth classic book he has read so far this fall. It’s hard for me [...]

Phillip will be three years old in about 3 weeks, and we can really tell that he will soon grow out of the terrible twos. He still has his moments of terrifying tantrums (which leave us scratching our heads, usually saying, “What did I do wrong? I put your milk in the blue cup? Why [...]
