November’s focus at our son’s preschool is ‘What are we thankful for?’ We worked on his homework, the traditional hand print turkey with feathers he needed to decorate with things he is thankful for.

We have a food thrower in the house. Food throwing can be cute, for about five seconds. We sit down to eat and half of the food ends up on the floor…every single meal. The other day I lunged for a half-full cup of yogurt as my son threw it over the side of his […]
