Do you know what is fun? Picking gum out of your kids hair at 12:30 am. I won’t lie, I was too tired to get it out yesterday morning and he may have had gum slime down the side of his face,all day at school, that I didn’t notice until applying peanut butter to his…

Stories from a boy’s mom
The Hidden Lizard Pet….
Kaiden says: “Mom, I need to tell you something but I don’t want you to get mad.” Cue Kaiden Chronicles. Calmly I reply, “Okay. What did you do?” “You know that brown box in my room? I caught a baby lizard and I am keeping it in there.” “Ummmmm….no. Are you sure you didn’t lose…
Is an Egg Just an Egg?
Just as I think things can’t get much stranger around here, I started helping Kaiden clean his room so my parents don’t think we live like this always. (Sorry mom and dad, it is generally a death trap walking into either kids room.) Yesterday Kaiden was being super shady about the side of his bed,…
A Little Bling…
Kaiden chronicles : It was very wisely suggested to me that we get Kaiden a watch to help with time management. Great idea! Well, obviously nothing goes as planned. My thought: oh he is going be very excited to go pick out is own cheap watch at the Walmarts. Our actual conversation: Me: Kaiden, what…
You Are NOT a Kardashian!
I had a plan. The boy was going to be in bed by 9. Well…as you know if you have followed the Kaiden Chronicles basically his whole life, nothing ever goes as expected and we have a lot…A LOT of WTF moments. So we got home and had a lovely fire safety lesson where we…

Kaiden woke up this morning and immediately started to cry. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what possible reason he would have to wake up crying. So I asked him what was wrong. Through his tears he mumbles something about the tooth fairy and how his tooth was under his pillow and…
When You Don’t Think of Consequences…
Another glimpse into my life… no he did not have the key. Yes, they are actual handcuffs that he bought at the Army Navy Store. Yes, they are off now, thanks to Rob and his fancy tools. SMH
Good Parents Fail, Too…
I literally bribe him to be good at school. Usually it is a Popsicle, sometimes it’s a slush. Today I stopped at the store. He asked for these 1 dollar beauties instead of a treat. I watched him plaster them all over his body because: YOLO! And then I remembered tomorrow is picture day….
Karma…
Sometimes karma comes in ways you don’t expect. For example after a rough day and you are acting like a jerk, stomping up stairs, throwing yourself around because brushing your teeth is the equivalent of losing a limb, and then storming into the bathroom because you aren’t going to get out of it, meanwhile you…
The Wheels Come Off…
Kaiden decided that he has had enough of his training wheels. So he went through his daddy’s toolbox, found the right tool, and took his training wheels off. He knew exactly what he was doing…riding a two wheel bike…That will be a different story.
