Pain In The Colon

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Monkey came home last week with a note filled with hearts and confessions of undieing love.  When I grilled her about the details we chatted, she informed me that they were just best friends.

Best Friends? I thought.  They’ve only been in school together for a week.

I asked her for his name and she told me it was Colon.  Colon? No way.  Did my daughter become BFF’s with someone who’s named after a not-so-popular body part?!  I assured her there was no way that was his name, but she insisted so I went with it.  She does go to a hippie school, after all.

The Wave

Every day when I drop Monkey off for school, I get a touch farther away from the doors.  My hope is, by the time winter comes, I won’t have to unload the baby to walk her 20 feet from the kiss and go lane, because she’ll be a pro.

Yesterday, we were running a tad bit late, so we used the kiss and go lane so she would have more time on the playground.  Today she wanted me to walk her again, which honestly was just fine by me! (more…)

Monkey’s First Parade

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

I am not sure if any of you know this about me, but when I was little, I was in a lot of parades.  I started cheerleading when I was 3 (hey, it was Texas!) and I was also in baton, so needless to say … parades were part of our summers!

I was so excited about Monkey being in her first parade last weekend.  She is in her first year of cheer, and I knew they weren’t making the little ones walk/perform in the parade, but I couldn’t wait to see her waving and shaking her little pom-poms.

Look at how cute she looks!  Makes mama proud.
