I set my router and devices to resolve to “Family Shield” by OpenDNS to block offensive content from getting through the wi-fi router. Here’s how to set it up, get the dashboard and actual blocking to work, and what I learned about IPv6 incompatibility.
Photos of beautifully homemade cloth “Quiet Books,” with learning activities young children enjoy, and pages customized for the child’s interests and families.
A committee of busy little bees spec’d this team logo.
More Jr. FIRST Lego Leaguers Logos – Let’s make some Team Tee-Shirts!
I coach a team of 6 Jr. FIRST Lego Leaguers this year. Here are some variations on the team logo themes the kids dreamed up (I kept calling it a castle, and no one corrected me.)
My Daughter, The Spy.
Ginger revealed two secrets today:
1) She can transmit written messages.
2) She knows the Russian alphabet.
Holly’s Magnetized Kitchen Cabinet Blackboard Idea
I saw this magical illustration on Ginger’s MagnaDoodle today and asked her what it was. She said “It’s a Bag. You can put diapers in it, and other things.”
Remember Ginger’s “Bun” drawing? We got home from a family Zoo day today, and there was a surprise package from Matt Hayden from Boulder – 2 Bun T-shirts for the kids!
Ginger got new markers and has been pushing the limits of Marker Application Theory (MAT) ever since.
My daughter, Ginger, drew a “Bun” and I wanted a photo of her, and then she suggested that she take a photo of me, and that’s something we’re going to work on together.
My Daughter has an unfortunate $1/day Sticker Habit. It affects everyone around her, as evidenced by this photo. As with many addicts, she’s become manipulative; as she was applying stickers to my face, she told me “You almost look very beautiful.” This of course made me very self-conscious, willing to do almost anything she wanted to become Truly Beautiful. Before you condemn her, remember: It’s a disease. Not a choice.
I’m home from work sick today. Yes, I’m really sick. But I’m sitting here on my couch and I watched my son take his first steps!
He’s taken a step or two several times, but according to my wife, a stay-at-home mother, this is the first time he’s walked across a whole room. Just thought I’d post about it.
My 2 year old daughter (27 1/2 mos., to be exact) can put together a U.S. 50 State puzzle all by herself. Just had to post about it, because that’s cause for bragging.
