Channeling his inner frat boy

I found my son trying to pop the top off a beer bottle … with his teeth. After that he rooted through the contents of his father’s stinky karate bag while grunting.

It’s hard to stay grumpy when someone is blowing raspberries on your tummy. Try.
When in doubt…it’s an airplane.

I keep feeling guilty about not giving L cups to practice with. I mean he’s got his sippy cups and we try to use them during the day but they really are just glorified bottles.
So today I gave him the only kid size glass I’ve got. My old sorority shot glass.
He took some tentative sips. [...]

We arrange cultural exchanges or “summer camps” between teen-aged girls in Morocco and the United States. Every other summer we take a group of girls from Morocco and arrange a two week home-stay with a [...]
Choices
Posted in Loganberry FrogMonkey, Saltgirl's Soapbox on April 7, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Every morning you wake up you have a choice. Lots of them really. Coffee or tea, paper or plastic, French fries or not.
I have chosen to channel my choices down a certain path. I fall into categories like crunchy, earthy, green. My parenting choice is called attachment. It means I breastfeed, co-sleep and carry my [...]
