Sydney and her dad were goofing around this weekend. They started talking about their names. “What’s your name?” asked Sydney. “Scooter,” Chad answered. “Noooooo. You’re not Scooter!” “Yes, I am.” “Noooo. You’re not Scooter! What’s your name?” “Chad,” her dad finally answered. “Chad?” said Sydney. “That’s a terrible name!”
Nuts
Sydney picked out a beautiful (!) princess barbie doll and pony with some of her Easter money this week. She really loves ponies and we have spent many minutes combing their manes over the last 6 months or so. Sometimes she names her ponies. Thus, while I was brushing the mane of her newest pony [Read More]

Tooter Time
We were in the car the other day when we drove by Tutor Time childcare center. “Look!” cried Will. “It says Tutor Time! Hee hee!” “Sydney,” he continued. “That sign says Tutor Time! Toot toot tutor time!” “Tooter time!” shouted Sydney. Then they dissolved into hysterical laughing. I tried to turn it into a teaching [Read More]

Manners Time
Perfect moms raise perfect children with perfect manners. Bad moms try their best. I think we’re getting a handle of “Please”, “Thank you”, and “Excuse me” around here. I’ve also stressed to my body-part lovin’ kids that we should say “toot” instead of “fart”. So far, so good, I thought. But the other day Sydney [Read More]

Is this a bad word?
Yesterday in the car Will said, “Darn it!” Then he asked me, “Is darn it a bad word?” “No.” Then I heard him struggle with another potentially bad word. “Frick, frick, frickin…” To which Sydney, age 3, chimed in “It’s fuc****.” I wanted to crawl under the driver’s seat!

Talking with Sydney about Halloween
This week Sydney and I were in the car and started chatting about Halloween. “Mmmm, candy!” she squealed. “What’s your favorite type of candy?” I asked. “Um,” she said. Then nothing. “Is it chocolate? Lollipops? Mints?” I suggested. A moment later she said with a straight face, “Beer candy!” Then she giggled. And of course [Read More]

Drawing with Sydney
We were in the front yard a few days ago drawing on our driveway with sidewalk chalk. Sometimes the kids ask me to draw things for them, such as Elmo or flowers. Sydney asked me to draw a puppy. So I did. I’m no artist so it wasn’t much to look at, but it was [Read More]

Mmmm…
I came out of the shower this morning and went to check that my kids had not burned down the house or choked while I had attended to myself. All looked safe and sound. Except Sydney was chewing something. She looked to be holding some of my recipe cards, too. “Sydney, what are you eating?” [Read More]

Beer Princess
This one falls under the domain of my husband, Experienced Bad Dad! He was putting Sydney to sleep the other night when they had the following conversation about his t-shirt. Sydney asked,“What’s that say?” pointing to the lettering on his shirt. “Lienengugel’s” he says. (It’s a beer, and no, I didn’t spell it correctly) Sydney [Read More]
