Into the Mind of a Three Year Old

My three year old daughter is incredibly cute. I’m not biased or anything. Just see for yourself.

See? I told you so.
Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she’s an incredibly sweet little girl as well. And smart. Also? Funny. Truly funny – not just “Oh, she’s so cute so I’ll laugh at anything” [...]

Barbie Dolls and Columbus Day. What’s the Connection?

Parenting

It’s funny how the world sometimes reaches out to you. I’m not normally one to go around “looking for signs,” but sometimes you just can’t miss them.
Two months ago, I wrote about how brown dolls are not enough and we need more multicultural dolls.
This weekend, I came across an article titled Mattel introduces black Barbies. [...]

My Daughter’s Preschool is a Love Fest. Or Something.

The Monkey

“Brian’s funny.”
“Oh yea?”
“Yea, I like him.”
“Do you?”
“Uh hmm. He’s my boy-friend.”
“Your what?”
“My bo-y-friend.”
“Is he? And why do you say that?”
“He was at the playground. And I asked him if he wanted to hold my hand. And heeee saaaaid YES!”
“So that’s why he’s your boyfriend?”
“Uh huh.”

Why Hannah Montana Doesn’t Belong in My House

Parenting

My daughter is 3. THREE!!! She does not need to know about Hannah Montana.
So, why does everyone and their mom think that it’s prime time my daughter be introduced to her?
Is this not a TV show for tween/teenage girls? I’ve seen it a couple of times and it’s definitely geared for girls 10 and up [...]

Brown is Not Enough

Parenting

I’ve been thinking about something for the past few weeks that has just been eating me up inside. And after attending BlogHer 09 and sitting in on the Women of Color session PLUS having lunch with a group of lovely women of color, it’s been on my mind even more.
Why is it so hard to [...]

Apparently it’s not ALL Sugar and Spice

The Monkey

My daughter has begun to show a bit of a mean streak. She has started to say things like:

Go away mom!
I don’t like you.
He looks creepy.

And the killer. Just this morning she said, “I don’t love you anymore mommy.”
Now, I realize that she’s probably just testing out some new feelings, vocabulary, or something. I realize [...]

I needed it.

The Monkey

I needed it.
I needed to come home last night after a long day at work and just sit down. Sit down with my baby girl and share some applesauce. “With two spoons mom! So we can say cheers!”
“Claro que sí, mama.” Of course.
While we shared our applesauce, we listened to dance music. And it really [...]

Toddlers PMS

Motherhood

Alright ladies (and men), bear with me a bit here while I go into the realm of TMI.
It seems that toddlers, preschoolers – whatever the correct term is for a three year old – do in fact suffer from PMS at such an early age.
You know how if you’re around a buddy of yours long [...]
