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.

Kindergarten

So bug has officially started kindergarten. He has been for the last 2 weeks. I of course am sad at the loss of toddlerhood. He likes school for the most part but of course would love to play more. He has a new friend at school who he adores. He told me today that his nw friend is "distractable". What a big word for such a small guy. He then told me he helps his friend "stay on track". Before I know it bug will be in college and I will be left in the dust
