We have quite a bit of candy in our house from Halloween. Every night after dinner, the kids raid the candy bucket. They are each allowed one big candy bar or two small pieces of candy. Tonight, the kids each picked two small bags of plain M&Ms. John ate all of his M&Ms but Gillian… Continue reading Candy

Do not go in and snuggle her, do not check on her, just go downstairs and play.” Saturday morning, John came downstairs… Continue reading weekend mornings
At dinner tonight, Gillian and I told John that tomorrow a fireman would be visiting Gillian’s school. This made John very happy.
