RETIRED: Target Chit Chat

Teri~ yep Ryland is 4. He will be 5 in September but after the public school cutoff date So he wont start Kindergarten until he is almost 6.

plgffl~My Daddy is a slave driver. He expects the highest standards and nothing less will do. I love him and he is a wonderful Daddy, but he can drive ya nuts He lets the oldest boys stay the night, but not Ryland..not until he can "act right". He says he's 56 years old and his nerves just can't take it.
Right now he is also amazed with God. How God made this, why God made that, why did God make bad people...the questions just never stop. You can just look at him and tell him mind is going 1000 miles per minute.

Although this is good at Target...he just chats the cashiers ears off and she is so frazzled, she just scans away. Like tonight he said "Do you know some jellyfish glow? Yep, its called bioluminescence!" I asked where he heard that and he said "Channel 28"

Here is a link to an old video of Ryland singing a country song he loves. (Alan Jackson~ Country Boy) If you know the words, you can understand him. He can talk so much better now. It takes a second to get to his favorite part.
I think I made my albums private besides this video. Let me know if it isnt private.

Oh No! Was there an update or something?

Did it beep for price / show any pop up boxes ?

SB had problems with it . Let's hope it was just a fluke.

I posted last night, my Kleenex didn't work and there was no conflict.

Something weird is going on there. . .

I ran into Kmart today to look for those and the coupon books and found no coupons for anything

Sorry! I found the Qs but can't use 'em. It's killing me!!

YES!! YES!! YES!!



Sharon, I cannot tell you what a great friend you have become.

We thought the gagging was due to enlarged tonsils so we had them removed in 2007. No change.

I literally want to cry. I'm sorry to be a Debbie Downer but I cringe at the selfishness of sometimes being embarrassed by my child. Not embarrassed OF him, but FOR him, kwim? My Dad treats him so differently than my other kids
Ryland hugs everyone. I mean everyone. Since he's large for his age, people wonder WTH is up with him. To me he is a perfectly normal looking child. You'd have to spend time with him to fully see that he has oddities (thanks for that BBSkye). Ryland is just so special. It's almost like he looks right into your soul.
Everyone at school just loves him to pieces and he NEVER meets a stranger. He walks up, shakes your hand and introduces himself. Then he spells his name, just in case you think he said Ryan.He then proceeds to ask you if you want to hear about planets...then he names them in order and tells you facts about each one. Then he says "Do you like my baby sister? Isnt she just too cute?" He wants to tell everyone he meets his life story.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Thanks everyone


I also have friends that save their placenta to plant a tree. Yep, 2 friends in Canada have brought their placentas home to make paintings and then plant "The Tree of Life"
To me that is totally weird, but hey...whatever floats their boats. They are both into attachment parenting and believe CIO (crying it out) is abuse and causes long term emotional issues. To each his own, I guess. They have some great points, but each parent must choose they path they feel most comfortable with.

Oh yeah I meant to comment on the placenta. I told DH about the planting and he said yeah I've heard of people eating it. WTF?!

At Target, found (22) TPC $1.02 Hefty 22-ct quart-size.

And yes, I'm a greedy hoarder!

And about the CIO. I certainly hope that's not true!! I've been thrilled about how BB (we call him baby boy, ) has responded, but I'm always afraid someday he'll be sitting on a psychiatrist's couch complaining about something I did to him. . .

oh yeah, I've read of people doing that. On a parenting board I'm on someone mentioned a casserole recipe. LALALALALALALA more than I want to know but yet, I shared that mental image with all of you.
