In the driver’s seat at work, lucky to be given a Cheerio free seat in the mini van at home, advocate of early #STEM education #parenting#preschoolers#toddler
Every night after bedtime with the 2 and 4 year old the following thoughts go through my head...
A. I yelled too much
B. I need to do better keeping my cool and be clearer about expectations
C. I need a beer

Dart war with kids.
5 yo: Dad, we’re on the same team.
Me: then why did you shoot me in the back?
5 yo: because I needed to tell you that.

How I know which kids have more of my personality or my wife’s.
3yo: watches truck videos, loves tractors and tries to fix everything with a hammer,
5yo: watches life hack videos on YouTube and proceeds to tell me how I’m doing everything wrong. #toddlers#marriage#YouTube
A1: I truly believe that most any standard can fit into a STEAM project! Science & math standards fot perfectly but so can reading/writing. My 3-5th graders just finished a huge project where they invented a toy & filmed commercials on @Flipgrid to promote it! #STEAMMakerChat
Me: Do you want me to cut up your strawberries? They are really big.
3yo: No, don’t cut them in my mouth, that would hurt my mouth.

My 4yo to her father: Dad, when you wear blue/white shirts you should also wear blue/white underwear. People would only see your shirt is blue/white but you would know your underwear is too.
