Sign him up

“You gotta hear what Maddo can say,” said the GAP excitedly over the phone.  Apparently his speech therapy at two and a half was paying off.  She handed him the phone.  “Okay, say it to YaYa” I heard in the … Continue reading →

The little Mouse is jabbering all the time now — some of it still incomprehensible (I use the Bug for my translator when needed).  Much of the credit goes to his speech therapist.  She’s into coaching him on three syllable … Continue reading →

It’s me

“Hey ya, it’s me.”  (Who is me?  I thought me was me, but apparently there is someone else walking around thinking they’re me.) It was my eldest…  the GAP.  I’d invited her out for a shopping spree.  She’s lost twelve … Continue reading →

Two sides to the conversation

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

This afternoon I called the GAP.  “The baby wants to talk to you,” she said.  He’s not really a baby any more, but his vocabulary, though seeming to double daily, is still quite small and often incomprehensible.  “Okay,” I acquiesced.  … Continue reading →

Favorite quote of the night

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

Last night I celebrated another Mother’s Day with my girls.  The grandkids love being with their Aunt Coco.  Her sense of humor is a little lot quirky.  (I have no idea where she gets it from.) The Bug found my … Continue reading →

That’s a stretch

The front seat of Couponman’s car is always cluttered with torn coupons, receipts, and miscellaneous debris picked up at the 99¢ Store.  I try to scooch to the front edge of the seat so that I don’t disturb his treasures.  … Continue reading →

Born leaders

My girlfriend and I are on a mission.  Actually I’m on the mission and I’ve coerced her into joining me.  I’m trying to find my 21-year-old body wrapped deep inside my 21×3+1 body.  So the other night after surviving a … Continue reading →
