I had the most interesting conversation with my three-year old. He was being typical Rowdy Rebel–sweet, honest, yet naughty all at the same time. He said “I want to go to school.” (He omits “doesn’t,” so he actually meant, “I don’t want to go to school.”) I asked why. He said, “Teacher said she going […]

There are caterpillars all over the place. They’re hanging out of trees, crawling all over the ground, and sometimes blowing in the wind here! It’s awful! It’s so hard to get Rowdy Rebel in the front door, because he loves to stand and stare at the caterpillars screaming “WOOK, a piwar! WOOK anuder piwar!!!!” (LOOK, […]

Well, my little kindergartner proclaimed last night that he “falled in love.” As I was tucking him in, he told me he had a secret. The secret was that he “falled in love” with a girl named Abby from his class. As he explained, this is a “major secret,” because Abby would “totally freak out” […]

Deep Thinker’s kindergarten class is learning about snails. The teacher asked us to bring garden snails in if we had any to spare. So the boys and I went searching. We found some, collected them, and put them in plastic containers (with holes) to bring to school the next day. Rowdy Rebel really, really wanted […]

In the morning, Rowdy Rebel’s hair sticks up. So, I have to wet it down to make him look groomed. It’s really cute. When it’s wet, it sticks up in spikes. Rowdy Rebel refers to this hairstyle as his “dude.” So, I wet his hair yesterday. Then it was wet, but still matted and yucky […]

We were talking about a show with dragons and heroes. Rowdy Rebel said that he is a dragon and then acted like one, blowing out pretend fire and stuff like that. My husband asked, “Is Daddy a dragon?” Rowdy Rebel said yes. Then we asked, “Is Mommy a dragon?” He repeated yes. Next we asked, […]

I had a conversation with my two-year old (blog nickname Rowdy Rebel) the other day about his favorite things. It seemed wise to give him choices to help him answer…to help the two-year old stay tuned in. I think you can learn a lot about his personality based on his responses: Me: What is your […]

Today my kindergartner (Deep Thinker) came up and put his hand on my back as he whispered, “Hey Mommy, I have to tell you something.” Then he stepped back and said, “Oh, I forgot.” Later I was running around getting ready to go pick up Rowdy Rebel from pre-school. In my bedroom mirror, I noticed […]

I was recently informed of the following things: 1) My kindergartner’s ears feel stopped up. He’s pretty sure he has an ear “infunction.” 2) Also his “taste bumps” used to love chicken, but not anymore. 3) My toddler’s Spiderman toy is a good guy, but the Hulk is a “gag guy.” How can I possibly […]

Rowdy Rebel has learned many phrases at preschool, including “what heck dat?” (what the heck is that?), “shubup” (shut up), and my favorite “SAD AT!?” (Did you see that?) Everytime he does something that he finds exciting (dropping cereal on the floor, turning on the light, falling over, jumping off the counch), he yells at […]
