Welcome
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more

Oh, I’m gonna totally wishjack for this book!
The words I saw on the blog are right on. I like Spoonami the best. Is there a word available for the battle over one toy that both kids need to play with at the same time?
Aubiens last blog post..A Quote from Pippin
when my grandson makes a mistake in his pants now that deserves a word of its own.maybe oopsiepoopsie
Is there a word for “I can’t wait until kindergarten starts.” That’s what my daughter is wishing for now. LOL Thanks for the contest.
What a great idea for a book. How about when the kid finds that marker from the lot you swore was picked up and colors on his sister. Oh well what is wrong with a little color in the world. Thank you for the intro to the book and the giveaway.
how about a teen who has younger brothers and sisters who poop in diapers and accidentally sits on a candy bar in the car letting it melt looking like a poop stain and not realizing it for awhile uhoh
When my grandson was just learning to talk, there were a lot of letters he couldn’t pronounce (he has had to have speech therapy as a preschooler) So he would make up words for what he wanted…he couldn’t say milk so he would ask for “GO”…his parents had to learn that Go meant milk. He did this with several things until he got a better command of speech. The word would never have anything to do with what he was having it mean.
My daughter has been in love with the Disney Cars movie for three years now. All this time I thought it was a bit odd that a girl loved this movie. The other day I said something about Lightning McQueen and she said NO MOM it is Lightning THE queen. Awwww it all makes sense now!

Great idea a kid’s dictionary!
When our grandson throws up a bit my husband call it “chucks” as in “he chucked it up”.
Great prize!
I would like the dictionary for my grandchildren.
This would be great for my great-granddaughter.

my brother could use this for his kids
The dictionary looks great
I think there should be a word for when mama has terrible morning sickness and is potty training a child at the same time. It’s not a good thing!
I can soooooo relate to THREEMAGEDDON. The bad thing is when the child finishes the count for you. Hahahahaha not a good thing at the time but funny as heck after you think about it. I would LOVE to share this book with my grown kiddos (one of which is now a father of four).
Thanks so much!

Great idea for a book. Interesting read.
great for my grandkids.
The kids would like a word that describes their face when I give them something that they do not like to eat…and have never even tried.
Tammys last blog post..Did I accomplish anything?
Terrific book. I read his blog. This guy is a riot! When my two little granddaughters fight over a toy, I call it “push-pull toy episode”. I don’t know if that qualifies as a new “word”, but I know we’ve made up many since having kids and grand children. I just wish I wrote them all done:)

There needs to be a word for when kids get up ridiculously early on Christmas morning and gang pounce on their parents to wake them up, because they can’t open the presents until Mom and Dad are aawake!
My son says to me “If noone knows where Timbukto is, do they know where Timbukone is?”
I would use with with my son.
Here’s a good one I just thought of that is totally my kids
Inevitaspill – For those times you gave your kids something that you just felt in your gut that they would inevitably spill or drop but you ignored it and gave it to them anyway in hopes that you were just being paranoid.

When anyone in our family gets crabby we tell them they are doing a snortin nortin!
My kids could use this. Their favorite words right now are bathroom related and they need some new ideas.
I would love the chance to win, thanks.
sounds adorable the book that tis i still recall my kids events
I love the idea of a kid dictionary. My son could really use this.
Last year, for her Language Arts class, my daughter had to write a dictionary with new entirely made up but needed words! She did a “growing up with siblings” dictionary, and it came out so cool! I’d love to show her this!

My little one introduced me to his friends by opening the bathroom door ( I was sitting ) and saying, “That’s my Dad!”
My four old son has always called Reese Peanut Butter cups go-go’s. He started this when he was two and it has stuck.
I love when they beg you to go swimming in the middle of winter. I try to tell them it is too cold, but their only answer is they can wear a coat. THAnk you
SNOOT…. something my son ALWAYS does and drives me nuts
I missed out as a kid reading and now I always read to my grandchildren
it is so imporant. Gread prize
My dad read to me every night – now I do it to my kids.
Dictionary what a great idea
As a toddler, if let alone for a few moments (like when I parent went to the bathroom) my daughter used to enjoy coating her body with anything sticky of gooey. She has been covered hear to toe in mud, mayonaise and peanut butter. And happy as a clam about it. (Until we hosed her off again.)
I really need a word for one my littleone really has to use the restroom in the middle of nowhere!!
This sound like a very humorus & enlighten read.
I would be affriad to leave it on my coffee table during playdates.
One of the other mommies would surely put it in their diaper bags…lol.
What a cute idea.
A situation that I think deserves a word of its own is when your child will only eat food of a certain color.
How about magic my daughter blamed her imagineary friend magic for everything they had sleepovers togherther and have been thru magics parents getting sick and also they would play spinning games there has to be a word for that
We now call bagels filled with cream cheese ‘maygos’ because that is what my 3 year old calls them
How about a word for changing a dirty diaper?
