Tonight we were watching the hour-long “Dinosaur Train Under the Sea” when Benjamin tells me that it isn’t the hour long one. (Side note on Dinosaur Train…My sons’ two favorite things have been trains and dinosaurs and I think the same holds true for a majority of boys, so I […]
We walked down to the park this evening and were sitting on a set of benches talking. I excitedly told Benjamin that this was going to be his last week in daycare and that he would be a big kindergärtner in a week. He was quiet for a moment and then […]
