Tonight DC put away his computer and began his bedtime rituals… Moving his pile of 3 books from “their spot” at “his spot” at the kitchen table, to their “bedtime spot”. Moving his stack of papers from his kitchen chair “spot” to their “bedtime spot”. Putting his DVDs away. Taking off his “If I […]
In case a refresher is needed (or if you don’t read the other blog), DC is officially on overload with his Christmas Calendar of Events. “Mom, I am so excited for Christmas Eve with “Grandmother” “Mom, I am so excited for camp party” “Mom, I am so excited to go to “Straw-Bridge” with my friend, […]
Just a little bit of ‘cross-posting’ for the Holiday Season from our EUReKA podcast. DC and his best friend BB co-host the two EUReKA Christmas Episodes. DC has co-hosted a few times with me in earlier seasons. It was difficult for him. I normally had to play the episode silently for him and ask […]
Thanksgiving weekend is usually DC’s big step into the Christmas Season. We normally go away for Thanksgiving and the weekend after. Once Thanksgiving Day is officially over, Friday and Saturday are usually all about Christmas. There are a few standard stops that we make each year, one being the Santa Express or the North Pole […]
DC has his list for Santa posted on the refrigerator: Bandaids 18 Markers White Paper A Christmas Story Live DVD Dolls We are away for the Thanksgiving weekend. As always, on the day after Thanksgiving, we visit his favorite shops in the area. In one shop, DC asked to buy markers. We have been trying […]
I wrote the post below six years ago. If I were keeping track, I would have to imagine that “Sorry” would most certainly show up in the top 5 on the list of DC’s most used words. Some of the time, he IS sorry for something or another, but as I have said and written […]
I saw a post a while back from my friend over at Our Adventures with Riley (the actual post can be found below) and thought what a great idea this would have been back when DC had such huge issues with wearing a belt. Not only did he just not like wearing them but he […]
DC does not like the rain. He just does not. When he was younger, it was just the rain he did not like but now, in his mind – rain leads to storms so there is no tolerating the rain at all any more. I remember taking him to a birthday party when he […]
DC was always a big fan of Cheerios. He eats them every day for breakfast and sometimes just as a snack. His ‘weekday’ breakfast consists of dry Cheerios (no milk, ever), a banana (you knew that), an apple, a glass of orange juice and a glass of water. Over the last few months or […]
As you may or may not know, DC, Doug and I are going on a Star Trek Cruise in March. To make most trips more interesting for DC, I always try to come up with something that he likes and relate it to the thing we are going to do. (See: The Everything is Related […]
