Chatterbox Playing Word-O at Rocket Reading Party Night
This post is long overdue. I've been meaning to write about how wonderful Chatterbox's school is since she began in September of last year for 1st grade. Her Kindergarten year was a disaster (for me, not her - she was fine) at another ...

I'm feeling relieved today that a decision made by my gut turned out to be a good one. Remember Giggles' struggle with preschool? Well, we were destined for a repeat of the morning meltdowns and constant battles for this school year if something didn't change. After a peaceful and happy ...

You know when you do a strenuous workout and wake up sore and immobilized the next day (ha! neither do I, lol)? But no, seriously - that's how I felt this morning when my alarm went off. I literally groaned. This first week of school has me totally beat. Between ...

Today was a big day for the Fergie household. Not only was Chatterbox entering First Grade, but she was going to...TAKE.THE.SCHOOLBUS. There is just something so drastic about putting your first-born on the bus for the first time; maybe it's the lack of control you have, or the degree of ...

This morning daughter had a mini-meltdown because she couldn't wear a dress to school. Recently, more and more she has been asking to wear dresses and I realized that the other girls wear them almost every day. So, I'll let her wear a dress when the weather permits. This morning, ...

So remember how Giggles has been going through a rough patch? For the past month or so, there has been a definite change in her behavior. She stopped wanting to go to ballet class, so we didn't make her go anymore. Then she started having potty accidents, which she never ...

Uh oh. We've learned a new word in school. "Popular." Such a loaded word when it comes to being a girl in school, isn't it? I've been so busy dealing with the rudimentary needs of babies and toddlers (feeding; changing; dressing; bathing), that I never saw the complex social issues ...

Chatterbox learned a new word at school yesterday. You guessed it - the "eff" word. I couldn't believe it! And she had to know it was bad because when I asked her to repeat it to me after Giggles tattled on her, she refused. I must have looked visibly ...

We made it through the first week of school! Both Chatterbox and Giggles started on Tuesday. It's a new school for Chatterbox and Giggles' very first school. I like it because the classes are very small (there's only 4 kids in Giggles' class and 6 in Chatterbox's) and it's very ...
