How do you know if your kid is just fooling you?

by beagoodmom on January 31, 2008

Giggles, Geetle and I visited Pookie’s classroom the other day.  During free play time, I asked the teacher how Pookie was doing with his his one-to-one association when counting.  At home, he gets lazy and rushes thru the counting, not touching each item and slurring the numbers together, as if he is in too big [...]

Pookie and Geetle’s 5th Birthday Party

by beagoodmom on January 30, 2008

Our friend party did not really have a theme, except for a general “Tea Party” atmosphere.

By the way,

by beagoodmom on January 26, 2008

to all the family invited to Pookie and Geetle’s Family Party on Sunday….I did not ask you to RSVP, so this is not directed at you.  I talk to you people all the time, I know who’s coming and who isn’t.

What does R.S.V.P. Mean?

by beagoodmom on January 26, 2008

In case you did not know:
R.S.V.P. means “I was nice enough to invite you, you are required to let me know if you are coming or not…and then actually do it.” Alternate definitions are: “Food ain’t cheap. If you want to eat when you get here, you’d better tell me [...]
