the life which is unexamined is not worth living.
Batman aka Dear Son
Over the last week Batman has moved into our house, you should know Batman has assumed a new alias: Dear Son. Every morning he wakes up and asks,
“Can I put on my Batman costume?”
Depending on if he has to go to school of not, the answer is usually:
“Yes.”
Batman, aka Dear Son, now watches TV with us, eats dinner with us, walks the dogs with us and most wonderfully before we walk into any room – checks for Bad Guys. Should they exist he is sure to clear out the room and make it safe. I am glad to have Batman on my side.

Texas is experiencing show this week. But today the snow seems to be drifting a bit to the south of the DFW area. When this was told to Josh, I asked him to Lasso the snow up North so we could have some. He explained:
My Lasso is broken. Seems like we won’t get any today.

Joshua was riding to school today when he glanced over to the car next to us and saw a little girl who was also probably on her way to school. We were stopped at a stop light and for a few moments they both stared at each other. As we both took off in different [...]

Joshua had a profound realization this past weekend. I must say maybe it was more profound to Gwenn and I. He approached us very gently, placed his hand on our cheeks and said:
I love you more then my toys!
For a 4.5 year old little boy. This is huge. He is such a cutie-pie!
Dear ‘You know who you are’,

I’m sorry for being angry
I’m sorry for being fearful
God controls all situations
Including this one now…
I’m done being scared
I’m done being angry
I’m done hiding…
Our lives are amazing and filled with joy,
The boundaries asked, please don’t ignore.
Our discretion is advised
As we see Josh’s eyes.
Thank you for listening
And God Bless you in this world.

This mornings conversation with Dear Son involved learning about why we do not cut in line. Seems Dear Son always thought the space other children left in the line was space specifically left for HIM and for him alone! Gwenn went on to explain the purpose of personal space and how superhero’s can work best [...]

Recently Dear Son has become infatuated with growing taller. Last Saturday morning when he awoke, he came into our bedroom and the following conversation occured:
Son: Look how much taller I am?
Us: what?!?
Son: Can you tell, I grew much taller in my sleep… Overnight?
Us: OH WOW, look at you.
Son: I know, look how much TALLER I [...]

A few weeks ago mama G and myself had noticed that Dear Son had out grown a lot of his current toys and felt it was time for a lesson on giving and receiving. We sat down with Dear Son and asked him how he felt about GIVING AWAY some of his [...]

A little and A lot!
Dear Son decided he wanted to begin calling Gwenn and myself ‘momma’ and ‘mommy.’ For those who don’t know, Dear Son is my adopted nephew who has now officially been living with us for almost a year and who’s adoption went through legally in April of 2008.
When Dear Son made this [...]

A Lesson in Discipline

I found this quote in an article i was reading on parenting.com
The real goal of discipline isn’t to punish. It’s to help kids really want to do the right thing.
It really made me think about how, when and why I discipline Dear Son. This quote is so true… discipline should be for teaching, a [...]
