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 [...]

Halloween!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 31, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I know, I know, long time no see, and I promise a longer update post soon. But in the meantime… Happy Halloween! (Liam and Kieran went trick-or-treating tonight with two friends.)   At Liam’s school last week, the 5th Graders came over to help the 1st Graders carve their very own jack-o-lanterns. Here is Liam [...]

A funny thing happened to Liam over the last three weeks. One day he was in summer camp… …petting the lion cub… …playing with Galapagos tortoises… …and then, the next week, he was at Work Day at his school, helping set up the classroom and picking out a desk… …and finally came the first day [...]

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 [...]

June Is A Busy Month!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on June 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »

At least in this family it is. There’s all the end-of-school chaos, and then we have several birthdays in the family this month so there’s something going on just about every day this month here. The boys and I have spent the week enjoying the first few days of summer vacation – they’ve done a [...]

A few posts back I promised to show you all some pictures of Liam’s Tooth Fairy pillow when I finished it and actually found the cable to the camera. Well, I found the cable so here we go. These aren’t the best pictures – I just got some quick shots of the pillow and didn’t [...]

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 [...]

Gnomes!

Waldorf teachers use the traditional northern European fairy tales as stories in their younger classes. First the children hear them as the teachers speak them, then see them in the form of puppet shows put on by the teachers, and then in the grade school they read the stories for themselves. As a result, we [...]

Brotherly Logic

(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 [...]

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 [...]
