Alexander's Adventures: November 2010
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. I don't like Star Wars". Could this really be my child? We introduced Xander to Star Wars on Friday. The original trilogy, first movie. Jess had already seen some of one of the movies, so it wasn't completely unfamiliar to her. Turned out both kids were scared of Darth Vader. Not unexpected. What was completely unexpected was that Xander was afraid of C3P0. He was okay with R2D2 but scared of C3P0. How is that even possible? I've done something terribly wrong. ; ). A cup of joe.

Alexander's Adventures: New address
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-address.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. I've decided to combine the kids' blogs into one blog. It's easier for me and I've been finding more stories about things they both do that I'm never sure how to separate into different blog entries. So from now on check out here:. Http:/ monkeybusinessjanda.blogspot.com/. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Skating by on technicalities. Just like at Child Watch. Next time well skip the trip. Good and bad days. Reading. Sort of. Jessica's Journal- A Little Girl's Life.

Alexander's Adventures: April 2010
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. Is that an echo I hear? Xander loves to imitate his big sister, what she says, what she does. Well, earlier tonight, Hari wanted the kids to try a garlicky dish he'd make. He asked Jessica to smell it and tell him what she thought. Ew, yuck," she said. Hari then tried to get Xander to smell it but he said "Ew, yuck" before he even got a chance to smell it. Hari knew Xander was just copying what Jessica was saying. So he told Jessica to smell it and say, "Really great! This is ho...

Alexander's Adventures: May 2010
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. Xander likes to walk around carrying a compass (pink, of course) and call it his GPS. I guess it's sort of the earliest kind of GPS. Links to this post. Sunday, May 9, 2010. What's on the menu. Jessica and Xander are pretending they're running a restaurant. Xander asked me if I wanted iced tea or hot chocolate. I threw him for a loop when I answered, "iced coffee.". Pause "Iced tea or hot chocolate? Another pause. "Do you want hot chocolate? Sigh "Yes, please.". Links to this post.

Alexander's Adventures: Good and bad days
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010/12/good-and-bad-days.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. Good and bad days. There are good days and there are bad days when it comes to preschool drop-off. Good is when he reluctantly lets go, does a tiny bit of fake crying but when I reach the door and turn to check, he's okay. At least I feel partially cheered up by the fact that his school pictures are awesome! The best of any of the kids' so far. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Skating by on technicalities. Just like at Child Watch. Next time well skip the trip.

Alexander's Adventures: October 2010
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. He doesn't miss a trick! I have a bin storage system for the kids' toys. On the front of each bin, I attached a picture of several of whatever item goes in it. This started when Jessica couldn't read and Xander can't read yet, so we still need the pictures. This morning, he came over to me, holding the picture he'd torn off the car bin: "I don't have this car," he said. "Where is this car? So it took him maybe 2 days to discover a toy he never plays with was missing. To make ...

Alexander's Adventures: February 2010
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Xander likes to use his name in everything. Earlier today he was made "Xander angels" instead of snow angels. A habit he's picked up from his sister is saying "pretend we're cats (or dogs or iguanas or gerbils, etc) and you're the mommy cat and daddy is the daddy cat." Where Jessica usually says "and I'm the big sister cat," he'll say, "I'm the Xander cat.". After I gave him his band-aid, he started going on about how he needed chewlery. Yes I do" he whined. Show me," I said.

Alexander's Adventures: June 2010
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Xander has been a terribly picky eater lately. It's been really frustrating. We have to feed him bit by bit and he's apt to spit out anything he doesn't like the taste of. Tonight I was feeding him just the chicken from our chicken stir-fry. We agreed if he ate the chicken, he could then have a bowl of cereal. Even that was a struggle. At one point he said he was full. Automatically, I replied, "Well, if you're full, I guess you don't have any room for cereal.". Links to this post.

Alexander's Adventures: Skating by on technicalities
http://alexanders-adventures.blogspot.com/2010/12/skating-by-on-technicalities.html
Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Skating by on technicalities. I decided not to fight it, and that I would pack the bathing suit and let his teacher figure it out. "I won't put your bathing suit on," I told him in all technical honesty. When I went to pack the Thomas bathing suit I found his shark bathing suit already in the backpack he uses for swim lesson. I had put it there last week before his puke-a-thon kept him home on swim lesson day. Then Xander said, "And don't pack that bathing suit! Just like at...
