Throw The White Crayon Out

I was sitting down with Son to make sure he was coloring correctly for his homework. As he dumped the crayons out of the crayon box, he told me, "Mommy, this white crayon doesn't work. I tried it at school. Throw it out."

I immediately knew he meant that the white crayon doesn't show on paper. I explained to him that it is for colored paper.

He said, "Oh."

Kindergarten Roundup

My dear son and I went to Kindergarten roundup today at 8:30 a.m. My son looked so cute carrying a book bag a little bigger than him.

We met his teacher and a few of his classmates. His teacher went over some rules and expectations of the classroom.

After we put our things away, it was time to leave. My son was a little disappointed when we were leaving and said, "Already?"

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.

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!

Defining Plumber

My husband, son and I were at my parents' home when a plumber was comming to fix pipes and leaks in the bathrooms.

My son said, "Is a plumber the fixer guy?"
