Pile of snowman

The Boy has been asking to build a snowman ever since we had snow flurries last month. According to the weather forecast we were to get enough and I promised him we would make one today. The trouble was that the snow was too dry to pack. We rolled and rolled, but to no avail, we simply could not get any snowman sized balls. Not wanting to let my little boy down, we shoveled a pile of snow and sort-of made a snowman. The Boy is thrilled.

Green eggs and ham

The Boy's newest interest has been words that rhyme. He makes up words to get rhymes. Not surprising his favorite book of late has been, Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suess. We read it about 3 times every day. It was inevitable that one day he would ask to eat green eggs and ham. That day was today.








The Boy is a pretty picky eater and I honestly thought he would have issues eating the green eggs, not so! He ate every bite! Got to love children's literature! Thank you, Dr. Suess!

Indoor plumbing

Last April I took the kids to a park to enjoy the warming weather. The Boy was still pretty new to potty training and needed to go. This particular park has no bathrooms so I asked if he could wait until we got home. His desperate look told me he was about to burst. There was no one else in the park, I allowed him to use a tree. It obviously had quite an impression as, seven months later, I have the following conversation with him...

The Boy: When I get big enough I will have my own house.
Me: Yep, when you are big enough you can have your own house.
The Boy: And my house won't have ANY pottys!
Me: What will you do if you have to go potty?

* a thougtful pause*

The Boy: I will have one tree!

Mr. Charming

This morning I found The Boy in front of the bathroom mirror making faces. After watching for a while I asked what he was doing. "Mommy, I got a dimple, see!" He gives me a very cheesy smile and his dimple appears.

Look out, ladies, he's got a dimple and he's figured out how to use it!

When Daddy is in charge...

Funny things can happen when Dad is in charge of bath time.
