Part three of our language in play posts. This week we are going to talk about repetition. So naturally I named it three-peat. Because I love words. Repetition - when done right - should be super annoying. To yourself, to your husband, to any adult in the vicinity - but I promise it won't be … Continue reading Three-peat

I say this to both boys. A lot. "Boys! Bossy fun is not fun for anyone!" It is not. No one likes to be bossed around. Especially when you are trying to do something fun, like playing. Both of my boys respond really well to being bossed around. Gus especially. (Enter sarcasm here). The next few weeks … Continue reading Bossy Play is not fun for anyone

A few weeks ago Gus was telling us a story and I thought, "Gol, his speech is kind of a mess. I should get that fixed. It's probably because of those big beautiful cheeks making it laborous to talk." And then naturally I went on with my day. The next day John asked me "Do … Continue reading Gus goes to Therapy
We have a little issue at our house. No one knows what they actually did at school. No one knows even ONE SINGLE THING that occured at preschool. It drives me insane. So I put on my therapist pants to take a closer look at the situation. Because that is what I do. And I … Continue reading The Case of the Mystery Pre-School Day
Whenever I forget how difficult it is to have a child who doesn't eat, God does this really great thing where he makes one of my kids have my issues.
