Ask Alex Button

J asks: What are you supposed to do/say when another child is the grabby kid, taking a toy out of your better trained (or behaved?) child’s hand? What do you say to your kid about that? What – if anything – do you say to the grabby kid? And is what you say different if [...]

Culture Not A Costume Photo

This last week, posters from a small student group at Ohio University have become the center of controversy over their Halloween costume campaign: We’re a Culture Not a Costume. (source) I wasn’t sure how to take the posters and commentary at first. I find it pathetic that people lack this much creativity so it’s hard [...]

The kids and Scott stop by the toy store on the way home from school. E: We aren’t buying any toys right now? S: No. We’re just wandering. The toys that you were looking at are too expensive, and we can’t buy something every time we go to a store, E. E: That’s it. I’m [...]

Goat Alex Photo

Scott and I head to a lovely wedding. As the rain clouds cease in time for the outdoor ceremony by an idyllic farm house, I sigh and reach for my husband’s hand. Scott looks over my shoulder and says: That goat is you. Me: Hmm, yes honey. Wait, what? I follow his gaze… Me: What [...]

E in ManU Jersey photo

In case you missed it on Facebook, my son took picture day to the next level thanks to his godfather sending the new Manchester United jersey the night before: I feel like we’ve improved from last year when he refused to take a school photo until the day AFTER photo day when he agreed to [...]

The American Dream.  Rags-to-riches.  Anyone can “make it” if they just try really hard. But what does it mean to “make it?”  Own a home?  Have a family?  Take a vacation?
