THE FLOOR IS LAVA!
It’s one of the best kid’s games ever, jumping from furniture to furniture to avoid touching the ground, because it is lava. It turns out it’s also one of the best excuses ever. Come brush my teeth? Hah! Yeah right. The floor is lava! Time to do my chores? LAVA! You see, most parents don’t […]
My Kid Just Said… #30
“I wish we had brown faces. Like Isaiah.” -Finn (August 2013, 3.8 years old) Finn was so happy and buoyant in his statement that day after school.
