On our way to the doctor....

J: I don't wanna go to the doctor!
Me: I promise you won't get any shots, just medicine.
J: NO! Don't wanna go to the doctor. I don't wanna be all better. I just wanna be sick.

Be quiet

Yesterday was a pretty rough day since O is cutting teeth. J woke up earlier than I did. What I didn't realize was that Matt had gotten up with him before he left for work. Matt took him potty and told him to play quietly in his room until I woke up.

I got up around 7:30 and went into his room to get him ready for school. There he is, with all his Toy Story toys. He smiles up at me.

Hi mommy. I went downstairs and got big Buzz Lightyear. But you can't push the buttons...he's too loud.

I didn't know whether to be shocked that he went downstairs or impressed that he knew to be so quiet.

Too much Diego?

It was a beautiful day and we decided to take the kids to the park. One of our favorite things to do after playing on the playground is to take a walk around the HUGE park. It's shaded, with a nice path, and J can ride his scooter.

There's a dog park at the side of the path, where you can let your dog run free. It's really an awesome idea and it's always packed. A woman passes us with her German Shepherd.

J: Look, mommy! A coyote!

Matt and I burst into laughter. The woman stifles a giggle. We figure, well a German Shepherd does kinda resemble a coyote. Then we pass a woman with 2 smaller dogs, like this. Only they were slightly less furry.

J: Look, 2 more coyotes!

This woman can't stop her laughter. At this point, we're assuming it must be the pointy ears. But, just now as I'm creating this post, he sees that same picture and says: awww, a cute wolf!

Only your fair share

While Trick or Treating, one neighbor really took a liking to J. She got down on his level and held the giant bowl of candy right in front of him.

NiceLady: What would you like?
J: I want this one.
NL: how bout this one too?

NiceLady keeps putting candy in his hands. One by one, J places them in his pumpkin basket. She must have handed him 20 pieces of candy. Finally J looks up at her and says: I think that's enough.

NiceLady gives him one more.
