Gotta keep his little mind busy with good things.

Is school lock down a new normal?

When I picked my son up from school, I was told about the school lock down.

Someone called in a weapons threat in school.

My son has adjusted to dealing with scares like this. Like other kids in the USA. Like other kids in the world.

This is the new norm while getting a public education. I can't even wrap my head around this.

Start of third grade

This is 3rd grade.

He gave me LOTS of attitude to take the photo, but I finally got it!

Then and now 6th birthday

Happy birthday my son!

Skin color for marriage

"When getting married, do you need to be the same skin color?

*sigh* Who is he thinking of marrying?!

Ice Skating & Snacking with GoGo Squeez

We joined the GoGo squeeZ team for ice skating in June, to learn more about their YogurtZ, a yogurt so cool, it doesn’t have to be cold.

Note: I was invited as media to this event. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

My son had a blast on the indoor skating rink. This was his first time ice skating so he was a bit nervous. At first he needed a little help and support. But after a while he became more confident and was soon standing and skating around on his own.

After all that ice skating fun, my son "cooled" down with a craft to make his own "cow" using yummy fruit and GoGo squeeZ YogurtZ. It was a fun and tasty craft.

Who says there's only one way to eat yogurt?!

Getting the back of the cold shoulder

My son gives me the cold shoulder (back) after arguing about getting ready for school.

Some days the parenting struggle is real folks. *sigh*

Pray keeping yucky bugs away

Tonight my son's prayers were very touching.

He asked God for good dreams, thanked him for data (Internet) and keeping yucky bugs away.

Amen.

Bedtime stuff friend search

Time for bed but my son won't go without his stuff friend. Ugh.

So because I wasn't looking for his stuff friend. My son gets up, turns on the light and looks for her himself.

I'm actually not sure if I should be peeved or proud. But he's happily snoring with his stuff friend so it's a win/win right?
