Not in the classroom, but the lunch room it's for sure allowed. The kids with severe allergies have to sit at a different table. Not 'fair' but I guess better safe than sorry. My kids live on PB so without it, I would really have to get creative!!Julia Gooliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784248013181090775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-89905704440317543462016-03-03T11:13:41.121-06:002016-03-03T11:13:41.121-06:00My little 3.5 year old is addicted to "comfy ...My little 3.5 year old is addicted to "comfy pants" too. I can barely get him to wear jeans, ever. It's probably because I change into yoga pants as soon as I get home from work. Doesn't everyone?? Also he loves to play fun stuff with his dad while I am left with the 1.5 year old - which he loves, but I miss my "mom/older son fun time" too.<br /><br />Your kids can bring peanut butter to school? In Ontario, I think pretty much all schools are completely nut-free. My oldest starts JK in the Fall, and he's so picky, I'm dreading not being able to sent PB....<br /><br />~ AndreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-54614344688911822962016-03-01T22:10:12.882-06:002016-03-01T22:10:12.882-06:00Happy Birthday, Truman!!

It's really a time that they become a lot more independent, and for us it might be a shift in the way we see them and interact with them. I remember feeling exactly like you - his relationship with his dad is so fun, relaxed, very games-based, while I had the harder job of tending to his social / emotional life, and at times I felt it wasn't really fair... <br />Looks like you have happy, happy well adjusted boy. May he continue on this road and you continue to enjoy him!

Happiest of days, Truman!
Man, it's so ...SIX!! Happiest of days, Truman!<br /><br />Man, it's so bittersweet, right?? These big kid ages are seriously so fun and awesome. But then you look back on them as babies and it's a big stab to the heart. What a privilege to watch them grow, though!<br /><br />And I totally slacked on the kids' 3 and 6 year interviews this year but I'm doing them today. This video of T totally inspired me. :)Kristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844262891800455616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-82010444519315370182016-03-01T12:40:30.987-06:002016-03-01T12:40:30.987-06:00I'm glad it's not just me!I'm glad it's not just me!

I got so, so, so excit...Happy Birthday to Truman!! I got so, so, so excited this morning when I saw your name on my Feedly and I decided I must leave you a message. You are my favorite blogger because your words and stories of parenting encourage me so much. I have survived 11 months of very little sleep and it was you posts of similar experiences with newborns that help me to believe it will get better. Also, knowing that someone else had the walked the same walk and came out smiling somehow makes it so much more manageable. I look back on your monthly posts to get ideas for meals and toys and activities and of course, to read that you too were struggling with short naps and sleepless nights. Selfishly I hope you never quit blogging about your parenting story because I just can't put into words how inspiring and helpful you are. Also, if you are ever looking for a topic to blog about, I would love to know your views on screen time (tv, ipads, etc.) and how you manage that. I sincerely thank you for the encouragement you provide this mama through your blogging!

The reading and writing and math just blows my mind every single day.<br /><br />I can emphasize with the daddy/son relationship. Sometimes I do wish I could be the one to sit on the couch with him and watch Star Wars instead of entertaining the 3 yo (or distracting her so she doesn't interrupt their movie time). Ever since she was born, Daddy took on the bigger kid and it's OF COURSE a huge help. But I miss time with my boy, too. (And it's also important for daddy to have daughter time!) So, we've also tried to make some mama-son days too... just not quite as often it seems. A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17918415034987411623noreply@blogger.com
