Grumpy Bird Reviews: Star Wars The Last Jedi
I’ve been in a bit of a Star Wars kick recently. Including watching the Rebels cartoon and appreciating it for what it is instead of being disappointed with what it isn’t. I guess that shows growth. But I still haven’t seen The Last Jedi. Until today. Star Wars: The Last Jedi Director: Rian Johnson Writer: … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Star Wars The Last Jedi

Watching the Muppets
Four year olds are full of energy. At least my son is. Loves to play, run, jump, dance. He also likes to watch little videos. I do feel guilty about it, but it is also another source of English input, so it is a trade off. Mostly he likes to watch little shorts through the … More Watching the Muppets

Today’s title is meant quite literally. My four-year-old son and I were playing at the park. After a good amount of running and sliding, he wanted to play in the sandbox. It was a grand time.
