Kids ages 6 – 9 can join the JR First Lego League (Jr.FLL) where they will learn real-world challenges on solving problems by using robots. There are adults and teachers working right alongside these young kids. They learn not only about how to design and build non-soldering robots, but learn about presenting their robotic designs to their peers, the challenges scientists face today, and how to apply the math and science skills they are learning about in school. This is the first level a kid may get involved in with the club.

Dealing With a Toddler: This Is My Life!

Buy New York Mets - -

Mydaughter is galloping around the house yelling “sign-a-door” at the top of her lungs over and over. I’m slightly confused but not surprised at her antics. I’m quite used to her garbled English phrases and amusing sayings, but this is a new one even for me. I ask her what she is saying and she promptly holds out her chubby little hand in which she holds a small dinosaur. It’s all I can do to keep from laughing.

Scenes like this one happen on a regular basis in my household. In fact, that one is tame. I think I have poison control on speed-dial. I don’t know how many times my husband or I have been cleaning something that she has spilled on a chair, or couch, or pretty much every square inch of the house, and little do we suspect, but she has crept up on us and is tasting the detergent we are using.

“He’sgone”, these words can mean all kinds of things to billions of different people, but when spoken to me on the night of December 7th, 2005, they only had one meaning, one meaning to one simple phrase that consists of two simple words that completely, single-handedly destroyed my picture-perfect life. The power of these two words were unbelievable, they crushed my heart, destroyed my faith, and broke any hope for love in my life. I could never trust anyone for as long as I live on this planet. Two simple words: “he’s gone”, Spoken to me with such ease they cut me like strong, powerful sharp blades and ripped my soul ’til it bled and died. “He’s gone” took every tear in my little ten-year old body and poured them into an endless stream of impeccable pain and loss. “He’s gone” continues to replay over and over in my head as I search for an answer in this terrible never ending nightmare of a life. “He’s gone” happened on an ordinary yet unforgettable December day, like any other, but it tore and twisted my life ’til there was nothing left but an empty hole in a little girl’s heart that could never be filled. He’s gone?
