Spring break fun


His sweet tattoo he got at school daycare ‘School Village’.  Kids get to run stores like a town for the day.  The boy spent some of his play money on a half sleeve.  The blue ‘stitches’ on his tummy is from a game of
Doctor we played.  He, unfortunately, had to get a cat removed.

Building with clay at the children’s museum.

From another country


My son has a speech delay, so he has a hard time communicating.  He often gets creative, using descriptions or even drawings to get his ideas across.  Some times it works better than others.  But, hey, our president has a speech impediment, and he has a successful life, so that gives me hope.

 Son: mom, can you make those crackers you made 

Me: ???

Son:  they’re round, and they have blue in there

Me: ???

Son: (draws a picture of just a circle filled in) 

Husband: is that the cracker?

Son: it’s a cookie…from another country 

Me: (looking at the drawing of a blue circle)??  Do you mean a macaron?

Son: Yes. You better make those, mom

Destination imagination


 This school year, we’ve been in a club at school.  It’s a STEAM based club, with a competition in the spring.  The boy has enjoyed parts of it, the building, less so the planning or the acting that goes into it.  His team mates were sweet but the three were from different universes.  I’ve compared them to MCU, Spongue Bob, and JRR Tolkien.  Getting them to listen to each other has been the hardest on the adults.  But, come competition day, they did a great job.  Super nervous, but great.

The Crusher


 Husband got his own workout machine.  The boy has already walked several miles and got his own patch of road rash when he forgot it doesn’t stop when he does. Yes, he is wearing a bungee cord as a belt.
