Today I happened to pick up a newspaper at a coffeeshop (Tim Horton's; hi, Canada!)...good thing, too, because in tiny print on an inside page were the words 'kindergarten registration this week'.

Um...ok! Well, glad I saw that. Randomly.

I managed to hightail it over to the school and pick up the registration packet that we were supposed to have received in the mail. Whew. I can't believe the monkeystrudel's going to be in kindergarten soon.
Owen's sitting next to me, completely absorbed in his Star Wars Legos. Forget the ridiculous piles of Christmas toys strewn about the house. A handful of assorted pieces of droids and jedis, and he's set. That's all we brought on vacation for entertainment, btw - the DS, and a ziploc baggie of tiny lego people. Now we are constantly serenaded by the tiny clatter of plastic arms and legs skittering under the couch every six minutes.

Amazing, isn't it? I can't believe I'm sitting here debating the relative merits of Spanish Immersion, Montessori, or homeschool (and the many options available for that). It seems way too soon for that.

Oh man, that would be a perfect birthday gift for Lucy. but she loses small things... or I should say, hides little toys all around the house.

I can't believe it either. I just registered Ashton for her program and then cried, because my baby is starting school in 7 months.

we are living separate yet the same lives. nolan has a zip-loc bag of various star wars parts. the debris can be devastating and the pieces are so tiny that i can't even pick them up!

if you rifle through my purse you will find parts of the millenium falcon in there as well as the hair piece for princess leia.

I read on some site the other day -- maybe parentdish -- that blocks are boys' favorite toys between the ages of like 4-12. i don't know if Ello is still around, but that was a more girl-oriented building set. (but i think lego and playmobil are pretty good for girls too! i had ghetto knock-off legos as a kid -- they just didn't work quite as well as the "real thing" -- but i loved them.)

the thing i read also said that if boys were given a choice between "girl" toys and "boy" toys, at least 50% of them chose "girl" toys if they found out that no other males (esp their dads) would know about it. =/
