So relaxing...

There just really is nothing that compares to trying to make it through my work day during the busiest time of the year, while at home because my child randomly puked this morning.  You'd think the boss here would be more forgiving.

Who needs pants?  Not this kid. Video watchin in style.

Speaking of getting older...

I have a cold.  It hit me like a Mack truck on Sunday night.  I'll deal with it, whatever.  But, this particular cold has brought with it a whole lot of sneezing.  Add that to the constant pressure on my bladder from the now bell pepper sized beast child residing in my body and I peed when I sneezed last night...but I didn't realize it until I went to the bathroom for the 12,934,875th time.

Just aim me in the direction of the nursing home and shuffle me along.  They can deliver babies there, right?

Growing up

Well, it's set.  Alex starts 4K next Tuesday.  I cannot believe he is old enough to go to school.  And real school; not just day care that we occasionally call school.  His excitement has increased exponentially since we found out he will be riding not one, but TWO buses.  The main location, at the one school, is at capacity, so he is going to a satellite location.  So the bus will pick him up from day care with the other kids, stop at the one school where he will get onto a transfer bus and then head over to the location he has been assigned.  Lots of excitement for those not quick enough to get into the main location.

I wanted to tell him right away to ease us into the change.  Well, mostly to ease me into it but whatever.  So I told him I talked to the school and he can start 4K.  He immediately started shouting that he was going to 4K tomorrow.  Ummm...yeah...about that.  I broke it to him that he couldn't start until next Tuesday and he collapsed into a pile of disappointment right there on the kitchen floor and started moaning that he's never going to get to go to school.  I tried to circumvent the melt-down by telling him he only had 5 more day care days before he would start 4K and I was promptly told that each day is going to take at least 16 minutes and that's "like forever."

Between starting school, his dramatic antics, and the fact that his baby belly is suddenly stretched out and missing, this kid is growing up super fast.

Only one straw per smoothie is no fun any way.

Grand Theft Auto

None of these vehicles were given to my son, yet all of them came home with him last weekend from his aunt and uncle's house.  Add these to the two I found that he swiped from his other cousins and we have a problem.

What are you made of?

"Hey Mom, do you know what Cinnamon Toast Crunch is made of?"
"What?"
Adding a finger with each ingredient, "cinnamon, toast, and crunch."

 This kid is going places.
