We have discovered that Gillian loves to sing. The first song she sang was “The Wheels on the Bus.” The best part of the wheels on the bus is all the motions that go along with the lyrics. She has now added quite a few songs to her repertoire. The other night in the bathtub… Continue reading Singing Girl
I picked the kids up from school today and on our way out the door I said “Say goodnight, Gillian.” Gillian turns and says “Goodnight Gillian!” I have a bad tendency of saying “really?” when I get frustrated. Tonight on our way home from school the car in front of me hesitated a few seconds… Continue reading Really?
John came home from school yesterday and said “me and Rashub, Gus, Nick and Eva are in Ninjago.” Daddy told him that was great and that he was happy that he and his friends were pretending to play Ninjago. John said “We aren’t pretending. We made a wish to be Ninjago for real.” Ninjago is a… Continue reading Ninjago
John’s class has a traffic light that they use to rate the kids behavior throughout the day. If you are on the green light, you are good. If you are on the yellow light, you need to think more. And if you are on the red light, you are not listening. When the kids have… Continue reading Red Light

I had to run a bunch of errands today. Daddy was working today so it was just me and the kids. I piled them into the car around 9 so that we could get to Costco when they opened. It was a gorgeous morning and the kids wanted their windows down. As we are driving… Continue reading Blustery
Part of John’s room makeover was two new posters. One is a Marvel heroes poster and the other is Marvel villains. We received the posters today in the mail. Daddy was hanging them up and John said “Daddy, you should put them right next to each other. This guys fingers are on that picture.” And… Continue reading Attention to detail
Jenkinson’s Aquarium visited the Lincroft Learning Center today. John told me about it on our way home from school. “Three things came to school today: a starfish, a horseshoe crab and a snail. But I only touched the starfish. I was a little afraid of the horseshoe crab.” I, of course, had to see if… Continue reading Jenk’s visit
