Maddamorphagus

I sat in on our kindergartner's class the other day to observe and help the teacher with the class. She was talking about a silk worm going from caterpillar to moth. He raised his hand and said, "that's maddamorphagus."

Will You Dance With Me, Mommy?

Mommy likes to dance with our three year old when a Van Morrison song comes on the radio. Not goofy, shake your booty kind of dancing, but the cheek to cheek variety. Kinda like it might be when he gets married someday. But today the tables were turned. He is the one who recognized the song, and he asked, "will you dance with me, mommy?"

Almost the Twelve Step

Our almost-eleven month old is now taking more steps, usually 4-5. Mrs. Scott informs me that he took even a few more this weekend. So, I say he's walking now.

I Want To Go Back To My Cabinet

Our three year old, on our trip home from church camp where we stayed in a "cabin", said in the car, "I want to go back to my cabinet" a number of times.

Baby's First Steps

Our ten month old "Hoocha" took some steps this last week. On several occasions, he took a single step between transferring hands. Today, he took two steps without holding on to anything. He had a clear goal of walking from Mrs. Scott to me about ten feet away. Nothing to hold on to, he dropped down to his knees after the two steps. Getting close.

Sick Day

During most of last night p.m. our six year old was experiencing stomach pains. Then while watching the movie "Are We There Yet?" the part came where Nick asked the kids what else could happen to the car and the son hurled all over the inside of the windshield. Thirty seconds later we had instant replay in our house. Then, this morning the youngest had diarrhea. It's just going to be kinda lazy around here today.
