Kids are so funny

Ok, I know I owe you some pictures, but that's going to take a while. In the meantime, I'm going to give you a sample conversation with John, so you can see what every day is like for me. I have enjoyed every age with John, but as he grows, I swear each new stage is my favorite. But I promise you, the stories and conversations and imagination HAVE to make this my favorite. Here's how the convo went down...

A: Did you play outside today at school? (Note: it has rained every school day for the past 2 weeks, it seems.)

J: mm-hmm

A: Who did you play with?

J: Trace

A: What did y'all do? (Expecting to hear "swing... slide... play chase")

J: Hunt for food.

A: (thinking this is strange) What food did you hunt for?

J: Aspen and Alyssa

A: (nearly chokes on Kool-aid) Do what?

J: (in a "duh, mom!" sort of tone) We were T-Rexes!

Later, Rob replayed this same conversation, but took it further.

R: So, which food did you eat? Aspen or Alyssa?

J: Alyssa

R: What did you do when you caught her?

J: (grins sheepishly) Hug her.

So the girl-crazy twitterpating has begun. The thing is, Alyssa is the same girl-obsession from last year. At least he doesn't have commitment issues!

  3. Aw, he's got a little crush! ;) At least he hugged her instead of biting or attacking her like a real dinosaur! He must really like her!

  5. Alyssa and John sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! Sounds like John is going to be like his daddy. That just sounds like something Rob would do when he was a kid. :)
