Well, I think we're (finally, yes!!) done breastfeeding. BoyWonder hasn't nursed or asked to nurse in four days. At this point, even if he did ask, I don't think he'd blink twice if I said no.

I'm calling it. It's funny how something that's been such a big part of our lives can just slowly drift off like that. No fanfare. No drama. No tearful farewell. It's like breastfeeding just silently tipped its hat and sauntered off into the sunset.   Read more >

For MLK day last week, we watched this simple, kid-friendly  Brainpop Jr. video about Dr. Martin Luther King.

There was a short, weighty pause while everyone let that chunk of history sink in. And then this innocent 4-year-old cherub that I teach took a deep breath and said, "Well . . . I'm glad I'm white."   Read more >
