TwinkleToes had speech therapy this morning, meaning I needed to take the morning off. But, I decided to take the whole day off today to spend with my girls. Life is short, they are out of school, and it just felt right.
The Art Museum isn’t too far from speech therapy, and it’s been a while [...]

We sang “Do the hokey pokey” some last night.
This morning little TwinkleToes rearranged the words.
Pokey in da Hokey and turn self ’round.
Right. I’m sure RK and I aren’t the only ones who let our imagination go wild with that one.
Meanwhile, GlitterGirl has been almost nonstop singing the Hoedown Throwdown. If you aren’t [...]

I searched a long time, and did a lot of research, before choosing a school. And I love GG’s school. It was very hard to get her into it, but now that she is in, TT will have a place, so I only had to go through it once.
One of the great things about this [...]

This morning on the way to school GlitterGirl asked me how to spell liquid. We talked through the spelling and then TwinkleToes asked what it meant.
“Well, it’s…. something that is… watery. Like water or milk or juice.”
I realized you could drink all of those things, so I scrambled to think of a liquid she was [...]

Glittergirl has a new outfit that she hasn’t been able to wear much yet because the weather hasn’t been warm enough. It’s short sleeves and a skort and it is thin material. The weather just isn’t warm enough for it yet. She did get to wear it one Sunday to a party, but that was [...]

The great thing about taking your kids bowling is that you’ve got an excuse to use the bumpers.
Bowling is so much more fun without that pesky gutter.

TT’s speech therapist spent several weeks slowly working up to saying the L sound. For a few minutes at the beginning of a session they would look in the mirror and make their tongue act like the elevator that TT rode on to get to therapy. Finally, they added the sound. Magically, TT made the [...]

GlitterGirl was watching the squirrels running around up in the trees. Which would normally be okay, except she was walking as she was doing this. And there was a low concrete wall in front of her.
She managed to not actually fall down, but she tore up the front of her shin on the top of [...]

TwinkleToes had a little boo boo. Nothing major, just a scratch or scrape she got at school on the playground.
Every day during dinner we heard “See my boo boo?”
Eventually there was just the smallest bit of scab left, but we all looked at it and said, “Yes, we see your boo boo… now you need [...]

We’re eating dinner, a sort of Chinese dinner, so we’ve all got chopsticks. TwinkleToes is using a pair of zoosticks, blue ones with a toucan on top.
TT: Thi i’ a pawwot? (This is a parrot?)
GG: No, it’s a Toucan.
TT: No. Ih’ noh’ a touca’. Ih’ a one ca’ (No, it is not a toucan, it [...]
