Long road of Parenting May 3, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Mom Phrases , trackbackDoes it mean that I go to Dunkin’ Donuts too often when my almost 5 year old yells out "mom, I want a cinnamon raisin bagel and 2 honey-dipped munchkins" when I pull in the drive-through?
When the girls are fighting in the car, should I care? One minute it is "She’s touching me" (really! I thought it was a joke) and the next minute they are singing the theme to Diego and holding hands. They actually held hands in the car for 20 minutes of the 30 minute ride in today.
Why does quality daycare cost so much? Soleil is leaving daycare in September to go to Kindergarten. We are saving almost $1200 a month (removing the cost of after school care). Holy Carp!
It’s a good thing when your child wants to fish in Hawaii so she can give the fish to people who don’t have enough money to eat, right?
And when she wants to put her large stuffed bear and small stuffed bear together and pretend that they are Ursa Major and Ursa Minor (the Big and Little Dippers)? Is that strange or what?
Or when the almost 3 year old wants to pretend to fish in the car with a random piece of string she found? Should I worry? Or only when they come up with a barracuda because it was in Nemo?
Another trip down this road of parenting….

Oh my goodness, your kids sound so cute.
My two-and-a-half-year-old twins are allegedly behind in their language development but can say “Starbucks”. Should I worry?
Seriously, your girls sound just perfect.
And don’t get me started on daycare cost…
That’s a good parenting trip you’re on (and we heartily approve of the early donut vocab here in the salsa house. *grin*)
I love it!
I’m sorry. I would comment, but I just fell off my chair when I read what you were paying each month for daycare. Good god that’s expensive, and I’m sure what you’re paying is not unusual.
Thanking my lucky stars that childcare here is a lot more affordable.
