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 [...]

We were riding in the car today, when Phillip said, to no one in particular, “I really need some super powers.”
I bit back a smile and said, “Really, Phillip? Why?”
He looked at me as if the answer were obvious and said, “I can’t fly.”

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 [...]

Do other toddlers have their own language? Some combination of English and whatever makes sense to them (and no one else)?
Each of my three children has developed some form of this, but none as complicated as Phillip. He’s developed his own code of speech that I like to call “Phillipese” (not to be [...]

I took Phillip with me to the store today to buy a few “necessities.” Unfortunately, it was lunch-time and the store was very crowded.
When I stopped to pick up a much-needed feminine product, he stomped his foot. “No, Mama, I want to buy Diego pull-ups!”
“These are not for you, Phillip. They’re for me.”
“Mama, you wear [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Subtitle: One of the few times I’ve seen my husband lose it in public
Lannie called me on the way home from work yesterday and wanted to go out for dinner. He had been seeing IHOP commercials and was craving pancakes. I already had dinner in the oven, but I saved it for [...]
