Is this illegal?

The shopping cart seat warns it's not for kids over 48 months old and 35 pounds. But her legs still fit through the holes. I hope she doesn't get carded and weighed by the shopping cart police.

A week?

Only one more week until Josie enters 4 year old preschool. Only one more week. And yet it feels like a year away as she whines away the morning. Serenity now.

No Tears Over Toys

I took her to Toys "R" Us which she kept calling Toys "4" Us. Amazingly enough she got one toy that was the amount on her gift card and left without throwing a fit. I need to mark this date for posterity. There, I did it.

Instant Wings for Preschoolers!

"Daddy, I want Red Bull!" demands my 4 year old daughter who has no lacking of energy.

"Why do you need Red Bull?"

"Cause Red Bull gives you wings and wings would make me a fairy!" she deduced.

Thanks marketing genius at Red Bull for allowing my kid to imagine guzzling your "energy drink" will let her be a fantasy character. You've made my trips to the grocery stores just a little bit of bigger headache as I explain that advertising lies.

She said it.

"When I make new colors, they burn like fire."

My child is ready for her own PBS painting show.
