H-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to school I go.......

I'm off to school for a month. I will be home on the weekends, but M-F will be hitting the books. Not sure what the little one will do. I went last summer, but she was younger then. My parents are coming for two weeks, then the in-laws for two weeks. Will she still remember what I look like?

The Rocket's Red Glare......

We set up lawn chair to watch fireworks from a mile away. Sippy cup full of water and snacks at the ready. The firework arcs gracefully through the air and explodes in a dazzling array of color. My daughter cries.......she is scared. We console, we reassure, but nothing works. We leave. Fireworks join Santa on the list of things that scare her. Now, if I can only find a way to get boys on that list before she reaches junior high (or whatever they call it now).

Something for me

I want something for me. A polite way of asking for anything, Of course, that is better than what I used as a kid. I just hollered "Gimme". Still do sometimes, but my wife doesn't always give in.

Leakage

My two year old buried her ehad in the couch. "My eyes are leaking", she said. She really didn't want to get up.
