Running away, already?

Matt got onto J for yelling while Matt was on a conference call. J leaves the office and comes, pouty face and all, to talk to me.

J: Daddy did a mean voice at me. That hurts my feelings. I am so sad. You are so sad that I am so sad.

Me (stifling laughter): Oh really? I must be very sad then.

J: You are. Now I'm gonna leave you! I'm gonna go to the train store!

M: Ok, we'll go as soon as brother wakes up.

J: NO! I am going all by myself. You stay here!

M: But how are you going to get to the train store?

J: I will ride Lightning McQueen!

M: But do you know how to get to the train store?

J: Yes! It's left, then right!

Exercise Needed

Hey Mama, I think there's another baby in your tummy!

No, there's not. I promise.

Yeah, there is. (pokes fat) Right there!

No, really. I promise there's not a baby in there.

Hmm. Let me see. (lifts shirt) Oooooooh. It's just your tummy.

Funny Friday

Last night, at bedtime, I told J he could have 2 minutes of snuggling. Snuggling rounds out the very elaborate bedtime routine. Ok, I take that back, one last kiss/hug, one more sip of water, and one last trip to the potty round it out. But snuggling is supposed to be the end.

I cuddle in with him and rub his back for a minute. I start to pull away.

Mama, that was just 1 minute. Now we need the second minute. This is just the second minute starting, ok??

He certainly knows how to delay!

Mixin' it up!

I've decided to change things a bit. It gets harder and harder to remember to update. And since I really like having this online journal (both so that I can remember and so that the kids will one day be able to read about their childhood), I've been brainstorming some ideas to make myself keep this current. So, starting tomorrow, each week will be a bit similar. It will go a little something like this:

Monday Map: details of our plans for the week.
Tips on Tuesdays: J is chock full of advice lately. What better way to share it with the world ;)
Wordless Wednesdays: I think that's pretty self-explanatory, but just in case, it will solely be a picture or pictures.
Thursday 10: either something funny in 10 words or less or a list of 10 things.
Funny Friday: something funny from 1 or both of the kids.

Additionally, the goal is to stay current with other comments made by J, and one day soon, O.
