1. On Wednesday (aka The Day Sam Lost His Mind Because of Art), after I dragged him out of the car, and passed him off to two teachers, who then dragged him into class, the school got Jessica out of class and had her come and soothe him. As awful as that morning was – …

Which again begs the question – what is it about the art class that freaks my child out? He was angelic this morning.

Sam doesn’t like art. There. I’ve said it. He doesn’t like coloring. Can’t stand painting. Just flat out hates art class. It’s been an issue for a while, with frequent references to “I hope tomorrow isn’t art class…” as he drifts off to sleep. I’ve been very tricky about it, specifically not finding out which …

My mother has a lovely habit of taking grandchildren out for special one on one time. And Sam has steadfastly refused, from infancy, to go. Ever. And since quality fun, one on one time with Grammy is rarely achieved by dragging a kicking and screaming kid into the car, she’s never been able to do …

We had our first annual sukkah party this weekend. Unfortunately, it was so cold that everyone pretty much ate at our dining room table, as opposed to outside in the sukkah.

I like the crawling stage. I do. I enjoy the early, early toddler stage – where they’re just starting to walk, just starting to talk. Everyone has ages that they seem to prefer, and I really like the first year or so. I mean, I love my kids always, but my favorite age has …

I’ve resigned myself to a lifetime of pictures where only two thirds (at most) of my children are smiling and looking at the camera. You’d think with a digital camera, I’d have a better chance of it, but nope – I have lots of duplicates of the three of them, in the same pose with …

We’re embarking on our third of four Jewish holidays that fall, boom, boom, boom after one another in early fall. First we had the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, and the Yom Kippur. Now we’re starting on Sukkot and we’ll finish up with Simchat Torah. Sukkot is a cool holiday – we build a …
