I've Been Tagged!

This is blog is about me the mommy, and not my son because I have been tagged to answer some questions.

Becka tagged me to play this game.

The rules of the game: Each player answers the questions themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answers.

Ten years ago... I was finishing my college degree.

Five things on today's “to do” list...
  • Work on writing projects
  • Give son a bath
  • Visit my parents
  • Clean out my car

Snacks I enjoy... Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Ice cream, apples!

Things I would do if I was a millionaire... pay off debt, put some into savings, fund child's education, and be a secret Santa!

Places I have lived... Illinois.

He is from "Spanish"

My son is very aware of different cultures. He sees that as a part of everyday life. He thinks cultures are as normal as apple pie. My husband and I make great effort for our son to appreciate cultures.

Today, my son had a 7 year old cousin come over. They hadn't seen each other for a very long time. My son was excited to introduce his cousin with the neighborhood kids.

Son: Diego and his brothers are Spanish because they speak Spanish and are from Spanish.


(Son thought Spanish is the name of the town, country or area).

Building a Castle

Yesterday was story time for my son at the library.

We arrived a few minutes early, so he could play before story time began. He was building a castle and I praised him for a job well done.

He then knocked it down, and said sweetly, "I am going to build a castle for you, big enough for you to be in."

Thinking About Marriage

My son had asked if my parents were married. I had told him yes. He then asked if his dad and I were married. I said yes.

Then he had a serious look on his face, you could just see his brain was thinking, he said with great concern: "I want to get married. How will I find her? Where will I find her?!"

I then replied, "DS don't worry. Dad and I will help you find her when it is time to get married."


Just a reminder he is only four!

Milestone: Son learning to ride without training wheels

Today, my son has rode his bike without training wheels better. He stops after going a couple of feet to balance.

Hubby says that son began practicing since last Sunday, June 1st, 2008.

This is a milestone because now he rides his bike without training wheels. Yes, he does wear the helmet, knee and elbow pads.

Just wanted to share the excitement!
