Wed

2008

What kid doesn't love to dance and sing- especially if they can do it on a boring car trip across town or even on the road to the coast? I was elated when we found out my son's favorite author, Sandra Boynton wrote a songbook. Philadelphia Chickens: A Too-Illogical Zoological Musical Revue is a book of story-poems that has a silly song to match. He may be a bit young yet (2 and a half) ... Read more >

I am the first to admit that my husband and I do not get to go out on the town nearly as much as we did before kids, but every few weeks or so, my Mom will babysit.

Or, do you have the kid that will scream bloody murder while you try to get whatever you can on him for a photo op and then relent- letting him merely hold the sword while his pirate costume sits wrinkled on the floor? ...

2008

Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and ...Read more >
