CTTS: Guess what I'm thinking of? by
Ann Porter
Little boy was playing a guessing game with me the other day: Guess what
I'm thinking of?
"It's bright, and yellow, and in the sky in the daytime, and makes you
sneeze."
It's the sun. I just thought it was cute that he added "and makes you
sneeze." Little boy is a sun-sneezer. That's not a...

He's packing up by
Ann Porter
Older Son is packing up in preparation for his move to Big State U. We'll
be moving him into his apartment on Saturday.

shoulders, and a real desire to...

Pop Music that children might like by
Ann Porter
When I was young (was I young once?) Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had a top 40 hit
with a song called "House at Pooh Corner." It's also been recorded by Kenny
Loggins (who wrote it, I think) and it's been covered by the Indigo Girls. I
read something today that reminded me of the song, so I downloaded...

Corners and ovens: The fears of an old parent of a young child by
Ann Porter
Having a little one at my advanced age has been very different from having a
little one in my youth. I was much more carefree when I was younger. I'm
still not going to freak if he drops a piece of candy then eats it. But
this time I have two major sources of anxiety that I had never thought...

Motivating a Jr. High kid by

My son is entering 8th grade this year. He's always been an uneven student,
shining in some favorite subjects (won the school's geography bee one year!),
