Maks When Maks was in the toddler room at the daycare, he bit someone. It wasn’t a big bite, it was an angry bite because he and his buddy were fighting over something and Maks thought that by biting him, he would get that something. He was right. He got something. He got me sent to [...]

Maks,
Mas In 15 days I leave for Trinidad Carnival. This is something that I have wanted to do since I was 18 years old. And after many, many, many years of coming up with reasons to not go, I am finally going. I am beyond excited. I wake up thinking about it. I go to sleep [...]

Maks I had Maks’ parent / teacher interview yesterday. It went pretty well. Her comments didn’t come as a surprise, as we speak almost every day about Maks anyway. Maks is adapting well to the transition curriculum from junior kindergarten to senior kindergarten. He has a penchant for numbers and math, that I know he didn’t [...]

Maks Maks’ got his report card last week. I hate getting Maks’ report card. I am always worried that I am doing something wrong and the report card just points out how bad of a mom I am. Maks’ teacher prefaced handing me the report card by saying that Maks has gone through a crazy change [...]

Maks In the daycare when one child leaves or “graduates” to another class, they are replaced by a younger child or someone that is new to the daycare. So there is always a steady flow of children coming in and out of Maks’ life, which can suck in some cases because friends get separated or “romances” [...]

Maks Looks like Mat is going to be transferred over to the toddler room pretty soon. He has been spending a lot of time over in the toddler room lately. It’s gotten to the point where, he and DJ Cheesy* spend the mornings and afternoons with the toddlers and only come back to the infant room [...]

food,
Maks I made this veggie burger recipe in an attempt to turn Maks into a flexitarian. I failed miserably. I totally tried to turn it into a super fun activity and really tried to make eating vegetables sound more like a playground game than the battle of wills that it usually is. I still failed miserably. [...]

Maks Maks has an ever changing letter to Santa. From the time it was written to now, it’s changed so much. He started out really, really, really wanting a remote controlled car. Then he changed his mind and really, really, really wanted an iPhone. And now he has changed his mind again and really, really, really [...]

Maks Kindergarteners will break formation and wave like crazy when they see you walk into their Christmas concert. The ones that don’t see their parents arrive will sit quietly staring anxiously at the door until they see their parents arrive. One of the saddest things is seeing the face of a child when they realize that [...]
