Bifocals and baby bottles. The tale of two "older" parents raising two very spirited little girls. Home | Profile | Archives | Friends
Are we crazy to take on parenting at our age? I got into this mommyhood thing late in life, in my 40s. My brave (i.e.crazy) husband has already raised four children, and he wants to do it all over again.

Eat me, I'm a turkey!November 26, 2007

That's what Romy has been singing all week.  She heard an off-color Thanksgiving song on satellite radio, and that's the only line she remembers.  It sure stuck with her.  I have been cringing as she proudly and loudly sings it to anyone and everyone.

Sienna is starting to talk a lot more, and unfortunately she is parroting Romy.  She sings "turkey!  turkey!" over and over, followed by explosive and contageous giggles.  Luckily that's the only part of Romy's "song" she repeats.

Today I got a "bill" from Romy's school.  She is in pre-k and she has the option of eating breakfast at home, or eating at school.  She usually opts to do both.  The bill had a space to mark whether we want Romy to get meals, snacks, or both.  Snacks?  I wasn't aware that was an option.  I asked Romy what kinds of snacks she can get at school.  She said "You know.  Cereal, donuts, and junk."  I guess I need to check on that.

Mine gets snack everyday at PreK, and Friday they made the mistake of givng her lemonade for lunch ("dewicious wemonade"). She apparently had seconds, thirds.... well, she got off the bus and the aide poked her head out of the bus to let me know that my girlie learned how to "stop and squat" on the way home from school. You wouldn't learn that in the big city!!!
