Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Friday, June 25, 2010. Three is a Magic Number, II: Pre-Three Silliness. Well-Baby Visit of Vincent. Rep immediately went into "people-person" mode and smiled at Gianna and said "Hi! Gianna, not a fan of strangers interacting with her or potentially trying to usurp her role as "the big sister," made a derisive noise and flapped her hand at him in a shoo- ing. I always sort of knew that at some point ...

Clara Teaches: Three is a Magic Number
http://clarateaches.blogspot.com/2010/06/three-is-magic-number.html
Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Three is a Magic Number. Veggie Tales are on the TV, the nearly three-month-old is sleeping on me, and the nearly three-year old has leaned against me, pinched "the squishy part" of my arm (her favorite comfort method) and has fallen asleep. In only training pants. Couch, brace yourself. The Clara. So I'll start another rambling series on my blog. By pop media accounts.

Clara Teaches: February 2011

Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Fun in the Snow! In Only 800 Easy Steps. First, I do need to share that I'm a huge proponent of outdoor play. Kids need dirt and sunshine as much as plants do, and even in the winter, I know I am a happier person after being outdoors. Particularly as kids who play outside tend to sleep a little better! 2:05 PM- "Go get a shirt! 2:15 PM- I grabbed Vincent, and ran into Giann...

WARNING: What follows is pretty blunt and ugly. If I didn't at least briefly mention the horrible Schatz. Case, wherein a 7 year old Northern CA girl named Lydia (originally from Liberia, adopted by the Schatz. For mispronouncing a word, according to her "parents," the ones who beat her until her spirit quite literally left her body. And perfection rig...

Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Thursday, December 16, 2010. I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm up to my eyeballs in toddler and crawling, cruising infant antics, and dog escapades. God hold little Tigg for his mama. If you feel so compelled, the family asks that you donate to Tiny Hands International (an organization that works toward ending the child sex trade in Asia) in his honor. View my complete profile.

Clara Teaches: Sotto Voce II- Speak Softly and Regain Control
http://clarateaches.blogspot.com/2011/09/sotto-voce-ii-speak-softly-and-regain.html
Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Monday, September 05, 2011. Sotto Voce II- Speak Softly and Regain Control. A long, long time ago, in a land far away, I once described my experience. With my kindergartners on the day I had no voice. It was surprisingly positive, and taught me an important lesson in expectations and what it means to "control.". The ridiculousness of the words aside (I find "What are you doing? I surprise myself with...

Clara Teaches: Sotto Voce
http://clarateaches.blogspot.com/2005/10/sotto-voce.html
Used to be the blog of a kindergarten teacher, now a blog of a mommy. All of the mental spewings thereof. Sunday, October 23, 2005. It was bound to happen sooner or later- 24 kindergarteners, sticking their fingers into their nose-mouth-eyeballs-God knows what all else, and grabbing me all day. That's right- I have fallen victim to some kind of viral crud. Fortunately, it wasn't the kind of sick where you're totally incapacitated- it did rob me of my voice, though.
