We’ve had a few gems of late. Some require explanation, the first does not: “I wish I could be two Simons, so I could be two places at one time.” Get used to that feeling, buddy! “Oooh, mommy, it’s cold. I need long-sleeve pants.” Ah, six. Old enough to do cool stuff; young enough to […]

I am pretty ambivalent about blogging about potty training Simon.
