Weekend round up.
S it begins(you older mom's know what I'm talking about). Since Sarah started preschool, she got invited to, and went to her first school birthday party. Lots of fun for her, but I don't think its a place I want to have mine. Unless its an indoor one. Too hectic inside.
Sarah is trying to get attention by using words. Of course it doesn't help that's she's not using the right word, just the right context. She's running around and when something happens, she says "Oh shirt!" as oppose to....Well, you know. She said it three times in a row, looking up at me with a grin, but silly girl, I just ignore you and you stopped. You'll learn.
Speaking of learning, Sarah, and apparently pre-school is having a "licking" epidemic. Kids are licking each other. *sigh* It doesn't help she also learned it at our friend's house who watches her with her little girl......And her mommy finds it cute and funny. Another black mark on our friend's parenting skills. I like her, and her daughter and her husband, their nice folks. But we think they could use a call to supernanny for her little girl(or rather, as with every supernanny episode, the parent). Sarah got in trouble here at work for giving a small lick. Immediately into time out(I have lots of corners here), and then the tears started and the "I miss my mommy". Too bad I'm onto her game....It never works. I explained I understood, but you still don't lick, and three minutes in the corner. A good "I'm sorry" and a hug and kiss 3 minutes later and she's sitting in the back with a book and CD.
Speaking of which, if your child LOVES books(like Sarah) Books on CD are a god send! She is happy in this car or in a chair and happy as a tomato to listen to her favorite Doctor Suess or other stories, and $10 for a CD and Book is not that bad. And 5-12 minutes for a slow read story that they can follow(it has a *ding* at the end of every page), or not follow is great(2 tracks, one they can follow, one they just listen to.

when he's not lying and running for office, right?
your friend should be like cartman's mom and go beyond nanny 911 and supernanny and just go straight to the dog whisperer. good times.
i used to have disney books on tape. that's how i know all the "words" to bibity bobity boo. it's a life skill.
And you acted like licking Barney was something we encouraged! It's just going around, I tell you! I didn't know tomatoes were happy. Are you sure you're not 80? :)
Oh yuck, licking.
What is it with kids and bodily fluids?
When my oldest was in the third grade, he and 5 other students stood in a circle and spit on each other. A week or so later he was down with the mumps.
Although he'd been vaccinated with the MMR, this was around they were figuring that kids need another booster at age 12.
Good luck during cold and flu season! Yikes!
Them youngins' do some crazy stuff, they sho' do!
Wonder where they gits them ideers from?
