Last Wednesday I was a parent volunteer for the “Get Fit Day” at the Roc’s school. Again, I was nervous to see how the Roc would handle this huge change in his school routine. I sent him to school on the bus to at least keep some familiarity to his day. I actually arrived at [...]

Get out the sprinklers, put on your bathing suit…and your socks. Yes, he has his socks on…doesn’t everyone have an intense aversion to grass touching their feet?
Here’s something that happens every time I sit on the back steps. My very strange, and very obsessive cat, Sophie digs at the window over and over and over [...]

I’ve been having lots of computer problems lately and my techi husband has convinced me that I should purchase a Mac mini. I’m tired of not being able to use my computer and GC is a touch protective over his (I have to wash my hands before I can use his computer, and he watches [...]

I have a feeling that the Roc is going to turn out to be a gamer just like his father. Last night he discovered that he likes to play (on his knees) the Wii…
I have wondered for awhile if he would ever find the coordination to play and was thrilled to see him figure it [...]
