I’m here, I’m here. Busy. Also there’s the pesky job, Facebook, PTO, and 2nd grade math homework. Back to the fun with kids:
I need to get this down before my kids stop doing it and it disappears from my memory. They have two topics they discuss in back of the white [...]

Yesterday produced some great kid-speak:
Lily must have heard John talking to our new dog about who is the Alpha Dog in our house. Lily was affectionately petting the pup and saying:
You’re not the Elf Dog. Daddy’s the Elf Dog here. Do you love the Elf Dog?
On the way to swimming lessons, there [...]

My mom, sister, and niece visited for a week–we’ve been busy with gardening, partying, shopping, swimming, golfing, and my kids’ latest favorite game: Sorry! Summertime fun! They left early this morning, and there were lots of tears from both kids.
One good bit of Dawitish: We went out to eat one [...]
This is my life

Yesterday I pulled something in my lower back, and by 6:00 I was hurting enough that I had trouble standing up straight and walking. I decided a bath might help, so while I was soaking in the tub each family member stopped in to check on me.
Lily made me a card that said
“believe in [...]

It’s vacation–or as Dawit calls it –weekcation, and we are enjoying ourselves. The kids have been staying up late, sleeping in, and inventing lots of merriment during the day. Can you believe how patient this dog is?

The kids went to a birthday party today. There was a fabulous magician. Dawit has been busy since with his magic wand.

One of Dawit’s favorite things to do is to wrestle with his sister and his dad. I don’t usually participate, but I did listen last night. Here is a sample of Dawit’s fighting language:
“Show me what ya got”
“You want a piece of me?”
“You think so, eh?”
“Ohhh, you’re going down!”
“I can take him. Let me at [...]
Is there medicine for that?

Dawit has had a bad cold for a couple of days. I didn’t like the sound of his cough, and John took him to the doctor today. He had this to say to me about it:
I maybe have amnesia and two kinds of medicine!
(Actually, it could be the start of pneumonia.)
Then he [...]

A conversation with Grandma in Wisconsin about the importance of being careful not to be seen while letterboxing:
Dawit: Gramma, we were thinking that you might like to go letterboxing when you visit.
Granny: I’d love to, can you teach me?
Dawit: The most important thing is to be discreek.
Granny: Discreek?
Dawit: You know, shhhush!
Button, Button, who’s got Buttons?

Each Kindergartner gets to take care of Buttons for one weekend during the school year. Buttons is a gingerbread person, and he comes with a variety of clothes to choose from. At our house, Buttons wears mostly his Red Sox shirt. Dawit has toted Buttons everywhere with us, even buckling him into a seatbelt in [...]
