It's me! I'm a crafty parent! (nobody is more surprised than me). When your 3yo asks to be a clock, you figure out how to make a clock costume!

Last year my son asked to be a "sand dune with a seagull on my head" for Halloween. We made it happen and it was the best time ever. Turns out, my child is not the only one with seemingly impossible ideas. Here are some from other crafty parents insider.com/diy-kids-hallo

Hi.  It's Bob. Thank you. To my family and friends who have surrounded me this week. And for the outpouring of love from everyone who expressed concern and care for me.  It’s overwhelming. But I feel the love and it means so much.

Let’s remember that Beverly Cleary wrote a book in the 70s in which Ramona’s mom goes to work full-time, making her the sole breadwinner, & she doesn’t have time to sew Ramona’s Christmas pageant costume, so Ramona wears PJs. A toast to Beverly Cleary from moms who work.

Her books were a formative part of my childhood and a lifelong inspiration to me as a reader and a writer. I was lucky to play my hero, Ramona Quimby in a national tour - another life-changing experience. RIP Ms. Cleary. Thank you for the magic.

Every time Georgia news conferences get around, people fawn over the official ASL interpreter for the state. A lot of it is your typical “ooh sign language looks so cool, he’s so animated” nonsense but let me tell you what is cool about David Cowan: he is a deaf interpreter. twitter.com/jamesrbuk/stat…

In case you’re wondering how my day is going, my 3yo just did a poop in the potty and then said, “mommy, I will always love you” So, yeah. Pretty good day.

As hard as we try to protect our children from the evils of the world, sometimes we fall short. It has regretfully come to my attention that my 3yo has discovered Caillou. Pray for us all.

Of course, this is in stark contrast to last night, when after tucking him in and giving him his goodnight kisses, he said "one more kiss for daddy" and then when I said, "can mommy give you one more kiss?" and he looked me dead in the eyes and said, "nope."
