Funny Things M Says

The Menininho is on a roll today:

Scene:
It’s first thing in the morning. The boys have invaded my bedroom. I decide to try on my dress for the Gala to see if it needs any last minute alterations. I ask M “do I look pretty?” All the books say that boys at this age love their mommies. The commercials show boys telling their mothers that they look like princesses.

Instead, M cocks his head to the side and says “Ummmm…..I think it’s a little tight.”

Scene:
I’ve just smacked my thumb into my ring right at the joint, causing a lot of pain. I may or may not be hopping up and down, alternating between “owww” and sucking on my thumb.

M runs up. “What’s wrong, Mommy?” I explain.

M throws his arm into the air and yells “This is a job forrrr…..MEEEEEEE!!!!!! One picture, coming right up!” Then he runs into his room to draw a picture. Only, he never makes one and instead spends the next 20 minutes running between his room and mine yelling “Picture coming up next!”

Love this kid! Have your kids said anything funny recently?

Charming!

Goodbye Baby, Hello Toddler

I’m mourning a little right now. On Saturday, Mark took down Baby J’s crib and replaced it with a brand spanking new toddler bed. I was not ready for this. I’m not entirely sure he was ready for this, but honestly we know it’s more about how I feel, right? :-p

One last picture


I’m 2 weeks post-surgery, and I’ve got another 4 weeks before I can lift him. So, a toddler bed was a necessity. But you know what that means? I don’t have a baby anymore. His therapists have been commenting in the last couple of weeks that all of a sudden he looks like a boy, not a baby, and the crib gave me that last tie to “babyness.”

Someone loves his new bed!


I guess this wouldn’t feel so sad except that I don’t know if I’ll ever have another baby. That is completely outside of my control, and some days that really stings. Here’s hoping the crib isn’t in storage toooooo long!
