My son announced he only wants to wear underwear like Daddy!
Yikes! When will the off the wall requests end?
I had NO idea preschoolers even cared about stuff like this.
Imagine the playground talk:
Boxers or Briefs?
Sigh.
Imagine my surprise to find out there are various stores that actually sell these types of underwear for little boys.
Who Knew.
I thought ONLY little girls were crazy about what they wanted to wear. I had no idea little boys are just as fanatic. (sigh)
Question: Are your kids dressing themselves? What fun ways have you found to help them 'discover' their newfound independence?
After recently giving birth to my sweet baby girl, I've marveled at the many ways possible to communicate with her.
For instance, when she cries, I come running! Hey, sounds like she has that communication/responsive part down to a science. As she gets older, there's a need to effectively assist with her progress and to communicate and respond to her needs.
Using simple hand gestures and motions to create "Baby Signs" is a great way to begin this journey.
The Baby Signs book is a colorful and informative tool to assist you when trying to communicate with your baby.
From the beginning of the book to the end, you'll find the most basic and useful 15 sign words, photos and gestures to ease through wake up, eating, playtime and well into bedtime.
BABY SIGNS is based on American Sign Language and will help encourage the use of non-verbal gestures to communicate. Research has proven that babies who are taught to use signs to express their basic ideas before they can say words are happier because they can communicate with others.

The time has arrived. I knew it was coming. I thought I prepared myself for it. Obviously, I didn't prepare well enough. Here's the latest developments in our home. My son dresses himself. He's been doing it for a long time. I've tried to find ways to CONTROL suggest matching outfits to wear. It's working to an extent. For the most part, I've just given up and hopes he at least remembers to put on underwear. LOL
While he's in the tub, I go and layout outfits for him to choose from. These are the ONLY outfits he has to choose from. Before, it would entail him going through every drawer, his closet and taking up precious time that we rarely have when we're on our way out the door.
This technique has been working like a charm. He (thinks) he's making all the decisions on what he's wearing and I am not cringing waiting to see what he has chosen.
His new phase is, he doesn't like shirts with stripes or collars. He ONLY wants to wear shirts with faces. Meaning, character shirts. I personally LOATHE these types of shirts. It's like he's a walking billboard. I've given up. I've given in. The only time I put my foot down are formal (church, family photos) events where a shirt and tie are a must.
He's figured out that he can bring one of his face shirts to change out of as soon as church is over. He's too smart for his own good! LOL
To learn more about the Tide® Loads of Hope program click HERE. I met two sisters yesterday. They were the sweetest women ever! I told them they are so blessed and most of all, they have each other. I've always wanted a sister. Someone that I could call and share my girly thoughts with.
I marveled at their friendship and told them how lucky they were to have each other. They were telling me how growing up they used to fight and not really get along but, over the years as they got older, they've become closer and closer.
How awesome is that? It was really nice meeting them and it gave me hope that my kids will grow up to love and take care of one another.
Do you have siblings? Are you close?
I have realized my 4.5 year old still needs naps. At least quiet time. Every.single.day. Wish me luck. This is a struggle.
Set the Baby Monitor on in the bedroom, went to the front of the house and FORGOT to turn on the receiver. Needless to say (after laundry and breakfast) when I finally remembered to turn it on, the baby was SCREAMING! Please, tell me I'm NOT the only one this has happened to! *sigh, sigh*
I had a very interesting conversation with a friend this weekend regarding inappropriate questions during conversations and interactions with people.
She told me of the random and rude questions she's been receiving regarding some personal things in her life. I of course sat there with my mouth in the O position for most of the discussion. I had to chime in with the latest. My neighbor asked if I was going to have more kids. I told her after she has more kids to let me know.
I mean really------What made her think it was OK to ask me that?
Oh and my all time favorite, I was at a park playdate and one of the moms says, I was SURPRISED when I heard you were having a baby. I thought you were done.
My response was, how did you THINK anything about what I'm done about? When have you ever heard me talk about my personal business on that level like that?
My friend and I fell out laughing because she and I are cut from the same cloth. She said, I don't blame you. Nosy people annoy me! I can't stand when people ask a million questions. I have to tell them, "WHY YOU ALL UP IN MY GRILL?"
You have to be old school to know that phrase! LOL
She brought up this very interesting point. Which brings me to the following.....If you don't ask questions, how will you get to know anything about a person?
When getting to know someone,
What do you consider APPROPRIATE questions?
What do you consider INAPPROPRIATE questions?
Re: The BET Awards Show last night.
What was your favorite part?
What was your LEAST favorite part?
Do you think the tribute to Michael Jackson was up to par? Do you think they should do a separate show to capture all of his memorable moments?
What is going on with me lately??? I really want to hang out with my friends. When it comes to actually doing it, I flake out! That's part of the reason I never make solid plans. Oh well, the story of my life with a 4 year and 1 month old!
