Disney Princesses  around here {all day every day} At any given minute, we hear a song or a story line being sung or acted out. Kent is always Prince Eric, Prince Philip or Prince Charming. Liza is assigned "Gus gus" or "Flounder" and I am... the sea witch, the mean queen from Snow White or Maleficent's Curse. Not Maleficent. Her curse. What? NOT COOL.

This is not an announcement, but Caris has claimed to have "brudders" for a few weeks now. Sometimes just one, but other times she has 5 brudders and 5 sisters. They live "far far away" and "dey are older dan me"

She tells us her name is "Shell shell". There's a TV show, Super Why, and at the beginning of every episode they tell the viewers to "Now say your name!" From the other room I heard a serious "Shell shell" response.

She is also 6 years old and has a cat that lives in South Carolina

She calls me Miss Becky 80% of the time. I answer to it 100% of the time

She collects flowers in the backyard for "when I marry Daddy" classic!

I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
