A Three Year Old in Japan Discovering the Art of the Selfie Weekly Photograph Challenge: Selfie When my son was three years old, we traveled to Japan where they treated him like the little Prince that he believes himself to be. Being that current times are those in […]
I have a five year old son. The Lego Movie opened this weekend. Thus, I spent Saturday afternoon with two hundred kids that had ants in their pants as well as a new earworm to share with anyone within 50 feet. Yes, “everything is awesome”, as they kept […]
If you currently have or have had a child in kindergarten you probably have experienced an odd sense of being dumb. All of a sudden you get quizzed at all hours of the day as to what 100 plus 100 equals, why does it snow past Christmas or […]
