Six Year Old Installs Google Toolbar

Our six year old son plays video games on the Cartoon Network website and the Lego site. Somehow, he managed to accidentally install the Google toolbar search window to our computer's toolbar section. Somehow. I've been wanting that little box for quite some time because I have it at work. When confronted with this deed, he replied, "What's a Google?"

Bicycling Fool

Our six year old received a new bike from his Nana. He had a bit of experience with his cousin's over at Grandma's, but now he has his own. He took to it very fast. We brought it over to Grandma's for its maiden voyage. He took off around the cul de sac and went like he was a pro. During a fly-by, he rode with one hand, pumping the other in the air. Kids these days.

Olympic Hopeful

During the Olympics our TV was, well, on. Our 3 1/2 year old watched intently. He was able to name many of the sports and asked about others. He did summersaults on the sofa. He asked what the swords were for. Fencing. One night when talking about the Olympics with mommy, he said, "I want to play baseball in the Olympics someday."

Muh-Muh

Our thirteen month old is talking a bit, and calls my mom, who we call "grandma", "Muh-muh." His pronunciation is off a bit, but that's okay. A few days ago we went over to my folks' house and when we turned into the driveway, he got extremely excited and yelled, "MUH-muh, MUH-muh!" Before we left we told him we were going there, and put his shoes and socks on.

The next day, he went and got his shoes and socks, brought them to Mrs. Scott and said, "Muh-muh." He wanted to get in the car and go there.

Ice Tweem!

I gave our middle son a bowl of ice cream after he ate all his lunch. I went into the kitchen to do something else and heard him say, "Ice tweem is the best food in the whole wide woild!"

Hoocha's First Shiner

Our little(est) one received his first shiner. He climbed on top of his older brother's desk. We don't know whether he fell off or his brother pushed him. He's very large for his age and can climb easily up high, but doesn't quite have the coordination to do all these things well. So he's got a shiner under his left eye.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Video-Game

Our oldest has been playing video games for a while now. The Cartoon Network has tons of video games on its website with its cartoon characters in the games. There's a certain background music that plays during the game that sounds exactly like Iron Butterfly's psychedelic sound from the 60's.
