Proper....or not so proper!

When Little Man was very small, The Husband and I agreed that when it came time to discuss the names of body parts, we would use the proper names.

So Little Man knows the difference between men having "manly chests" and women having "boobies" (I know, we could have gone with breasts but this seemed to work out fine).

WELL! Today we were cruising the racks in Target and suddenly...

Little Man: "You have boobies!"

Me: "Yes I do, shhhhh".

(Was always told not to make a big deal out of something they say or they would keep repeating it.)

Little Man: "L's Mom has boobies too!"

(Lady at the next rack snickering at the exchange at this point)

Me: (((sigh))) "Yes, all Mommies have boobies."

Little Man: "I have a manly chest!" "Like Daddy!"

Me: (((smiling at that one))) "Yes honey, you do have a manly chest like Daddy."

I thought we had finished the discussion about "boobies" but then we hit the lingerie department and Little Man points and says, "Booby backpacks!"

Needless to say, I made a bee-line for the checkout lines!

Ahhhh, the conversations we have to look forward to in the years to come. :)

“A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes,

A chuckle comes from the belly;

But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around”

Happy Mother's Day! and memories.....

Happy Mother's Day

to all the Mom's in our family!!!

We love you!!!

Today was great! We went to church where they had the Baby Dedications...great for a laugh, the babies reactions to Pastor Kerry were pretty funny.

Then off to lunch at Tommy Bahamas - one of my favorite restaurants!

And then watched Little Man go on a double bungee cord kind of ride they had set up in Market Street.

They hook you up in a harness, pull you down and let go so you go flying up in the air! Up and down, up and down! The boy loved it! He was the first one to go but once all the kids saw him flying through the air, they had to try it too! It really was pretty hilarious seeing a 3 year old flying through the air and he was fearless!

Caught some video on my phone but it died before I could save it and send to my email. Grrrrr!

Then on the way home we stopped at TCBY for my FREE Mother's Day Frozen Yogurt Treat! Yeah! White Chocolate Mousse w/Heath Bar crumbles rocks! Mmmmm. Nummy!

and memories...

I've been a real "bawl bag" this week...hormones or something I guess...but...I've had a lot on my mind. So many changes over the years...even just in the last year.

Thinking about mom's and found this picture

of my mom, her mom/my late grandma and myself. Summer of 1996.

I think it's the only picture we have of the 3 generations.

Grandma passed away a few years back...she was 102!

What a great person!

Was going through Little Man's 6-12 mo clothes for his new cousin.

Had to take a picture to show how much he's grown....and immediately got weepy. :(

My late cat, Katie.

We had to put her to sleep a year ago this week and it still feels like it was yesterday.

Princess Poo we miss you!

And of course my impending 41st Birthday!

What The H - E - Double hockey sticks!!!

I JUST turned 40! What happened to the last year?!?!?!

I guess it's true, the older you get the faster the years go by.

Well I think that just sucks!

But on a lighter note! Little Man has started swim lessons! And he's Soooo excited! hee hee

This is what he thought of the instructor asking him to put his face in the water and blow bubbles. :D

"I don't think so..."

This may be how we spend the summer...chillin' by the pool and having a snack during safety break. Ahhhh.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Saturday, The Husband and I celebrated our 8 year Wedding Anniversary! We were able to get our sitter for an overnight stay with Little Man so we booked a room, had some sushi and just relaxed and reminisced about our lives together. We missed Little Man but it was SO NICE getting to sleep in until 7 A.M. :)
