starting out the first day of my 36th year with hidden presents(from a husband in distant location), and banana bread we celebrated and then the kids created a home with the dining room chairs in the living room...the baby was trying to figure out how she could ride inside the little car...it was a lovely day.

mommy research

Jokes have always been a mystery for me. It is me who always tells the punchline first, or forgets the punchline all together. My dear friend, Maryam, would tell people that I am funny without knowing it--I still don't understand what she meant by that. So, as a mother of two boys who like to giggle, I am in the process of trying to find good jokes the kids will somehow understand, can memorize and share with others. Thus, my intense mommy research. SO, if you know some please share! In my research, here are some that tickled me, and made me think as well: 1: A noise woke me up this morning. 2: What was that ? 1: The crack of dawn!

Son #2, his first time without training wheels

Maybe next summer she will learn. We'll see.

So, when we were told she was supposed to dress up as what she wants to be... I was a little concerned... although I tried not to show it outwardly. M decided she wanted to be a princess. So, I had finally found a use for that extremely pink dress, with glitter, my husband had kindly brought back for her from his trip to Iraq 2 years before. I made a paper crown, with a pink, purple, pink, purple, pink, purple gem pattern, and she was very happy. I commented on her desire to be a princess, and my husband said, "Well, at least, she doesn't want to be a pig!"
