Love

So I took my little one to the Christian store today to find a new ornament. He really wanted a new Webkinz one. They had a huge selection. I had told him that if he was well behaved in the store that we could possibly pick up some breakfast on the way home. Well he was more than well behaved while we were there. After selecting the perfect Webkinz ornament he rushed to the front of the store where they had other ornaments. He had told me "close your eyes don't come over here." I was a little worried due to the fact that there were a lot of breakable items in that area of the store. I told him I would stand by him. HE pushed me away and told me to close my eyes. I hid just around the next aisle. He then ran to the front counter to ask for help. I couldn't quite hear what he had asked, but then he ran back to the ornament area. I asked him how I could help he said. "I am looking for love". Not really sure what he meant the lady at the counter held something up and asked if that is what he wanted. Back to the counter he went and then he rushed back to me to get money. I gave him my only cash and said that he could buy whatever he needed. HE walked over to the counter to purchase an ornament that spelled "Love" for me for Christmas. He melts my heart. I can't believe how incredibly lucky I am to have such a loving boy. I truly feel blessed.

Potty Training

So I was sitting on the couch today knitting and I told Hubby "I really have to pee." HE looks at me and says "the bathroom is the first door on the left." WE both start laughing. Not long after Bugaboo was potty trained he would walk up to us and ask "Excuse me. Do you have a restroom?" Sometimes he would even run around the house to look for us to ask this question. I think it started when we were out in public and of course little bladder boy decides he must urinate that then. He would even ask people at restaurants and stores regardless if he needed one or not. Our boy always good for a laugh.

The Jedi Returns

So today Bug bought a "lifesaver" with his allowance. So the battle began between Obie one Cannoli and Dark Vader. It was a good thing that Obi One had R2B2 on his side to help. Obi one also convinced the droids to help him. "Roger, Roger". I swear my boy has the best imagination.

Star Wars

WE took Bug to see the new star wars movie last weekend. Being a huge star wars fan myself and having the original action figures stored neatly in my Darth Vader case I thought it was only necessary for Bug get to learn about Star Wars. He actually enjoyed the movie. When we came home he decided that he wanted to play "Star Wars" So in true Bug form imagination took over. Wielding a pretend "lifesaver" jumping around the living room fighting "Obie one Cannoli". He was handing out pretend "lifesavers" to hubby and I to play as well. So hub decided that his "lifesaver" was going to be wintogreen flavor. Because after you can only get them from Michigan.
Side note about lifesavers- 10 years ago while staying in Michigan with Hubs family crazy Uncle Larry told us the truth about lifesavers. We were in his pick up truck getting ready to go to work when he stopped at a gas station and bought 2 large bags of lifesavers. one was Wint-o-Green and the other Pep-O-Mint. He held up the bag of Wint-O-Green and said "You know you can only get these in Michigan" I just looked at him with awe. I said "They are lifesavers for God sakes!! You can get them anywhere." HE told me that Wintergreen only grew in Michigan and that is how they get the lifesavers. Well OK then. So the wintogreen joke was born

School Days

So Bug didn't have the best day at school on Thursday. When he came home he told me that it was a very bad day. I asked him what happened he said "I just couldn't sit quietly at carpet time." Me "Well the teacher really wants you to be quiet when it is circle time." Bug "I know, I just don't know what my problem is." Me "I'm not sure either" bug "Well I'll try harder tomorrow"

Sharing

Tomorrow is bug's day to bring something for sharing. We are not entirely sure what to bring. WE do know that he is not supposed to bring toys and that there are themes that the item should fall under (Ginger bread man, Little red hen, Rainbow fish, and Chick Chicka Boom Boom). Last week was a couple of others turn for sharing. So I dared to ask "What did Anna Kathryn bring to share?" He shrugs his shoulders while saying "I didn't ask." Well then. "What did Adam bring?" again shrugging shoulders "I didn't ask him either" How helpful was that. Still no clue on what to bring

Curse

So I try not to curse or swear in front of my child but sometimes He gets the worst of me. Today he had a splinter in his hand. I get the tweezers or as he calls them the tweezlers. I hold his hand to find the culprit then he pulls away saying no, no. I grab his hand again and say my usual "God bless me". He responds with "God bless me too. I don't want to be hurt." two seconds later the splinter is out and he is on his way. So my cursing is not too bad, I will never forget the day that I decided that I needed to be really careful. HE was 2 and I said G*D Dammit. HE then laughed hysterically jumping on the bed yelling G*D dammit for 10 minutes. He has however learned to use crap in a sentence from my hubby's brilliant vernacular. Really in the grand scheme of things the worse we say is stupid or sucks. Which is really difficultto leave out of the vocabulary.
