Oscar was supposed to be sleeping a few minutes ago when I heard all kinds of ruckus and music coming from his room. I opened the door to check in on him and saw him standing in the middle of the room holding a teddy bear. He said to me, “I want to dance, Momma.” [...]

Oscar told a Knock Knock joke that really impressed me. All of his prior Knock Knocks were either taught to him by us or nonsense that he put together himself. I believe that this is his first original joke and think it is pretty ingenious, surely you’ll agree: Knock Knock Who’s there? Strawberry Strawberry who? [...]

You’ve got to see what kind of art Oscar most enjoys. Sculptures? 3-D Art? I’m sure that some of you art school grads can help me with the proper terminology… These are papers that were originally drawn on with crayons. After the coloring he rolls, then crumples the pieces. Finally, he’ll request a piece of [...]
Today we had the bright idea that we’d head down to Seaworld to check out their new playground. Brian even took the day off of work for this fun family outing. They had a members-only opening for this “Bay of Play” area that has been under construction for the last nine months. We’ve really missed [...]
Oscar has been a thumb sucker ever since he was first able to navigate his hand to his mouth. His standard "comfort position" is with his right thumb in his mouth (with index finger hooked over nose) while he pulls on his hair with his left hand. This is his go-to position anytime that [...]

Here’s a fun after-dinner conversation between Oscar & me. “Momma, can I have ice cream for dessert tonight?” Me, quickly taking inventory of the day’s food, “No ice cream, but you can have some honey cheerios instead.” “Can I have my honey cheerios with honey on them?” “Yes, Oscar, the honey cheerios already have honey [...]

Just before I pulled out the camera, Oscar told two perfect unprompted knock knock jokes to impress my friends Lydia and Noelle. Of course, once the camera was out Oscar took it upon himself to begin knock knock free-styling and I was afraid that I was recording lame footage. Knock knock jokes are admittedly only [...]

While shopping at the bookstore tonight we ran across the following display in the children’s book section. I thought it was funny that the campaigns were targeting the “Level 3 Reading” demographic. The way this primary is going, I suppose it really could come down to the preference of some 3rd grader in Montana. When [...]

We never know whether or not Oscar is going to take a nap on any given day (he always needs a nap, but he doesn’t always choose to take one). However, one thing is certain: if he does nap, he naps hard. Here’s some footage I shot while trying to wake Oscar up after a [...]

Oscar was troubled by something he learned at the zoo today. Inside the reptile house there is a display case with snakeskin boots, jackets, and other stuff. There is also a sign that warns people about how devastating these fashions are to many reptile species and reminds us not to purchase those products. Oscar is [...]
