It is often funny what tunes, jingles or phrases catch the ear of a child.
Recently, Hayden was watching “Unwrapped” (one of our favorite shows) and a catchy commercial was aired for Planters Peanuts. Hayden loved it so much, he recorded it on his camera so he could download it and listen to it. You can only imagine how tickled [...]

Q4282 1936-1972
Four years ago, on birthday 36, it really hit home how young my dad was when he died at 36, in 1972. Yesterday, it really hit home how young I was in 1972.

Kindergarten Kronicles
Day #4
It is such a relief when your child wakes up excited to go to school. I always remember enjoying school and looking forward to it each morning. I am seeing such changes in him already.
