Daily Trivia

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on November 19, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I am always startled by the amazing memory powers of young children. Today I was driving home with Kieran when we drove past the movie theatre in Princeton. This place is an old theatre-two screens, no surround-sound or Dolby or Imax or other modern bells and whistles. It was probably built in the ’30′s or [...]

Zoo Trip

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on June 26, 2010 | 3 Comments »

One day this week I took the boys to a local zoo. It’s not one of the big zoos in Philadelphia or New York-those are fun too, but we had quite a heat wave going on and we wanted something to do that would get us out to  enjoy the relative cool of the morning [...]

Laundry Adventures

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on May 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »

Kieran has reached the age where he wants to help with household chores. Never one to turn down offers of assistance, I let him rinse dishes, take things out of the dishwasher, squirt soap, whatever he can do, really. Kevin does the same, and since he does the bulk of the laundry in our house, [...]

I’m In Trouble Now

Liam got mad at me at dinner tonight. He has a kite that he tried to fly this afternoon, but the maiden flight didn’t go far due to lack of wind. I told him he could try again after school tomorrow, and he insisted it had to be tonight. I tried to explain that there [...]

(This conversation is from last week – I just didn’t get a chance to post it…) Me: “Kiri, how old are you now?” Kiri: “I is two but after my birthday party I will be 6!” Liam: “No, silly, today is your birthday and you are 3!” Kiri: “But I want to be 6 and [...]

Aaaaahhhhhhh…………..the sweet memories of last summer. We drive past that fountain every morning on our way to drop Liam of at kindergarten, and it has long since been turned off and drained. We have had some very cold days, and an unusually long string of them, too. It did moderate somewhat today when the temperature [...]

Sex Ed – The Toddler Curriculum

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on December 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »

One of my favorite things about being a parent is the times when I can listen to my children talk out a problem. I guess it’s the teacher in me that loves to hear exactly how a child fits a newly learned item into his understanding of the world, or just that I love puzzles [...]

Who knows… Anyway, in the meantime, a conversation from the ride to school this morning: [...]

At Least It’s Not Swine Flu…

…but it’s still a pretty nasty bug. I came down with it first, last weekend, and then Liam got it, and then Kiri. Thank goodness Kevin has managed to evade its evil clutches. We were down and out for most of this week – Liam missed four days of school, and Kevin stayed home from [...]

He’s So Big!

Kevin took Liam and Kieran to the beach this weekend. Even with Labor Day over and done with, the beach is still fun because the kids can still play on the sand, ride the rides, and eat ice cream and pizza, After two years of tears caused by being too small to go on many [...]
