We had a busy morning of errands. Our first stop was Lowes. John and Gillian love going to Lowes. John loves to drive the race car and Gillian is a great co-pilot. Check out the picture of my silly drivers below. Our next stop was a fish store and Staples. Gillian and I got stopped… Continue reading Sit down
The kids got to celebrate Christmas with their Gran-dad today. Gran-dad arrived just in time for Gillian’s nap. I put Gillian down while the boys made a trip to Toys R Us. Gran-dad wanted to get John a new bike for Christmas and we all decided it would be easier if John was there to pick it out and to try it out. … Continue reading Christmas in April
John’s class had a field trip today. They went to the Young Chefs Academy. John told us that they made pizza. According to John “It had cheese and sauce and vegetables. And I got to cut the vegetables. The knife was not sharp. It even touched my finger but it didn’t cut it!” They got… Continue reading Cooking Class
I am trying to get John to become a little more independent. We started the chore chart a few weeks ago. That has helped to teach him responsibility. This week I have been having John dress himself. He is doing a pretty good job. He does have a tendency to ask for help. Daddy and… Continue reading Don’t be angry
Taking the kids to see the Easter Bunny is always an adventure. John’s first visit was pretty uneventful in March 2008. The next year however, he was a year older and he was not too happy to meet the big bunny. It looks like he is trying to run away in this picture. I think we missed… Continue reading The Easter Bunny

I had him show Daddy his new ability. John then tells us “I can close this eye, but not the other one.… Continue reading Wink and a nod
John has a little head cold. Monday morning he woke up and said “Mommy is today a school day? Cause I can’t go to school today. When I cough my neck hurts.” I said I think you mean your throat. “Mommy, my throat hurts when I cough.” I explained to John that he will take… Continue reading The Cold
John and Daddy read “Green Eggs and Ham” tonight. Daddy read all the Sam I Am parts and John read the part of the roommate. It was awesome. John would get mad at Daddy when he thought that Daddy was reading his part. “No Daddy! That’s my part! You read that side.” They read the… Continue reading Green Eggs and Ham
John has no patience and a really good memory. I made the mistake of telling him on Friday that Aunt Betty was going to come visit this weekend. We found out on Friday that Aunt Betty was coming over on Sunday. And we told John that. Well first thing Saturday morning, John found me in… Continue reading Patience
John’s class had a field trip today. They went to the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank to see “Seussical” which is a collaboration of many of Dr. Seuss’ favorite stories. I explained to John that he was going to see a show. He said “like a movie?” It took a little bit longer to… Continue reading The Theater
