Is his singing really THAT bad?!?

So dad and D are enjoying watching some Robby Gordon racing and there is a soundtrack playing...dad starting singing along-and a little hand goes over his mouth.  D: "stop singing you making me sick".

For the record-I did not think it was that bad...

forget babies, where do coughs come from?

D gets what he calls "the coughs".  Basically, it's just whenever he coughs.  The other night @ dinner he had a coughing fit.  Afterword "Dad, where do coughs come from?"  Who really knows?  And does a 3 year old want the real answer?  "Your tummy" "No.  Mine come from my back"  So there you have it.  Coughs come from your back.

Holy Fish Sticks, batman!

The world might be coming to an end. Prepare yourselves. Lo ate new food, and liked it.



So, we have been trying to get Lo to eat new types of foods.  You know, besides nuggets & pizza.  Well, low and behold-today is a red letter day.  Lo mentioned that he would eat fish sticks.  Dad went to the store and bought the best sticks they had.  No skimpy wimpy cardboard for our Lo.  Nope.  Big, thick actual fish in these sticks.  Lo and D went to town.  They each ate 5 pieces.  It's a January 25th miracle.

Genious or Germaphobe?

So, Lo was washing his hands after using the bathroom.  When he was done he used the hand towel to turn off the faucet.  He looks at me and says "Mom, I don't get it.  We turn on the sink with our germy hand, wash the germs off, then turn the sink off and touch the germs?"

I am just wondering where he got that from.  I mean, yeah, he could be a genius, but I am leaning toward germaphobe.

Congrats to dad!!

The boys and I are proud to say that on Sunday dad finished up his finals and received his Associates Degree!!  WAHOO!

A lot of hard work and long nights went into it, but we are so proud :)  Now on to the Bachelor's degree!!

The other night we were all sitting around the table eating dinner.  The boy's were eating off of plats, dad and I out of bowls.  Lo is learning about how to group things together different ways, so I asked him how all of our dinnerware was similar.  Before Lo was even able to look around "circles" came flying out of D's mouth.  It was great! 

How can it be a bedroom with no door??

Well, Lo has been having hard time lately. I think that the break from school threw him for a loop, then just as he was getting adjusted to it-back to school he went. Which, of course, requires another adjustment. Adjusting for Lo is not easy: it includes tantrums, whining, crying & yelling (from him!!). 

During is latest and greatest he was sent to his room because we were done listening to it. He did not like this so he would yell at us then slam his door.

Waaa Waaa Waaaa & dishes

A few days back, during a whine-fest from Lo, dad sent D to say “waa waaa waa” to him. Yeah, taunting is Dad’s thing. D surprised us with “Lo, I wanna see some tears”. It was hysterical!

Then, while I was out having craft night, dad stayed home with the boys. After dinner he was in the kitchen cleaning up and doing the dishes (THANK YOU!!). D comes up to him “dad, why you do dishes? You not a girl”. Being told this after the fact-I laughed.

And decided that dad needs to do dishes more often  : )
