Biggie Smalls makes her way down East Fourth Street

My baby is 16 months old and I feel like if I close my eyes for too long she will be 16.  It’s amazing how the first year of her life is now the past.  Silly life always moving faster or slower than you want it to.  Everyday with my lil’  mama (yes all her nicknames are rappers) is a new and amazing experience.  She is quite frankly the funniest chick I have ever met and I am so lucky to be her best friend.  The Chef & I hung out with her all day yesterday and it was completely our pleasure~we are the luckiest.

Conversations w/ Catcher (& Lou)

In the car this morning:

CW: “Hey Catcher show Louisiana your nose.”

Catcher: “Sister this is my nose.” Points to his nose.

Louisiana points to her nose.

CW: “Show her your eyes.”

Catcher: Points to eyes. “Eyes.”

Louisiana points to her eyes.

CW: Show her your mouth.”

Catcher points to his mouth.  Louisiana points to her mouth.

CW: What’s inside your mouth Catcher?”

Catcher: “Teeth mommy.” Pointing to his teeth.

Louisiana points to her nose.  Then she sticks her finger up it.

Catcher: “What’s in your nose Weeziana?  Boogers are in your nose!!!!!!”  Catcher maniacially laughs and then sticks his finger in his nose.  He then proceeds to pull one out and show his sister.  Louisiana follows suit and begins scream laughing (the most pleasant sound ever) still with her little finger up her nose.

Happy morning to me.

We had a spectacular Christmas week filled with friends and family, Festivus, and food.  

We have certainly been blessed this year with so many new great friends and so many great times.  The Chef’s last night at Cento was sad, fun, and enormously busy but we got to hang out with some of our favorite people, Mike & Liz, Julie & Steve, Roni & Kevin, Billy & Barbara (and Henry too!).  We are a lucky family that seems to be getting bigger and bigger with each new venture the Chef & I take on.  Life is good.

No,

Life is fucking awesome.

I hope that you & yours had a special Christmasukahwanza!!!

 

Cheers Bitches.

The holiday season is upon us.  TV has turned into a giant toy commercial.  Walmart is a war zone.  And all my son can talk about is this weird ass card game that I have never heard of.  Tis the season.

In trying to spread education and respect for all I am putting forth my best effort to teach my kids about all holidays that occur in the next month.  Let me tell you, it has NOT been a cake walk.

I have been taking books and books and books out of the library all year round that focus on different cultures, celebrations, and peoples.  Now that holiday season is here I have made a serious effort (we’re talking 3 times a week library trips) to find the perfect books to inspire, educate, enlighten, and heighten interest in the boy.  So far I have had no luck.  The Hanukkah books are D-R-Y.  I’m not Jewish so I don’t really know the staple books.  But I know they can’t all be super boring.  It’s the festival of lights man!  The Kwanza books are ok, at least the ones I found, but I am renting them from a library in a town with a population of 20 African-Americans.  Probably not 20, but not 20,000 either.  The selection is slim.  And the winter solcitice books, NON EXSISTENT.  I’ve got Christmas covered, I think.  We usually do The Night Before Christmas & follow up with The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Although I don’t really have any books that explain the whole Jesus thing in a fun non boring & dry way.  I guess I’m not covered.

SO…

I have decided to buy a holiday collection for our library (built of wine boxes) but I desperately need your help.  Any suggestions pertaining to ALL holidays, cultures, astrological will be considered and appreciated!

 

***The first five readers to suggest a GREAT HOLIDAY BOOK will receive from me (and the Cuyahoga County Public Library) the award winning & beautiful illustrated Great Books For Kids 2008 book.  Just make sure to leave me your email.  Peace & War.

 

****CONGRATS MICHELLE V!
