F@#K

Tonight my husband and I overheard our six-year-old happily singing in the bathtub.
The catchy little tune went like this:

"The F word is fuck.  Fuck, fuck, fuck".

I won't lie.  He's heard the word "fuck" from me on more than one occasion.  But I have never referred to it as "the F word" so clearly tonight's diddy was learned on the playground and was no fault of mine.

Daily Life with Toddler

Just a short email from our nanny, which sums up a typical afternoon:

Hi,

pls leave it in a plastic bag and i will take care of it tomorrow.

Thanks

 

 

Parental Tip #6

NEVER feed spaghetti to toddlers. 

 

Parental Confession #13

Alfie drank some rain water today.  I didn't see him do it but the empty flower pot and the silt mustache gave him away. 

DIY Angry Bird Pinata

Dip strips of newspaper in a mixture of flour and water.  Cover a balloon with the wet strips like you're creating a mummy.

When the newspaper is dry, make another solution of water and Elmer's glue.  Dip strips of tissue paper in the mixture and apply them to the pinata. 

Cut features out of construction paper and use glue and tape to adhere to pinata.  Cut a hole in the top and fill with goodies.  Use a wire coat hanger to hang.

Now that the work of art is complete, let kids beat the crap out of it with a stick.

The carnage.
