After a long walk after preschool pickup and a long day at work, in the kitchen:
Me:  Oh, dear, mommy has so much work to do.
Lucas:  (concerned)  But mommy, I can help you.
Me:  Oh,no, don't you worry, I got it.
Lucas:  But mommy, I still have my crocs on, so I can do anything you need.




At bedtime, after Lucas had asked me for a million snuggles. He was playing with my hair and I asked him if he thought my hair smelled good.

Lucas:  What it smells like?
Me:  Shampoo.  Do you think it smells good?
Lucas:  It smells fresh.  Why you use shampoo?
Me:  So my hair can be clean.  Doesn't it smell great?
Lucas:  Yes, but your armpits don't.

Oh man.

Elliott took two steps on his own yesterday.

He kisses me, almost on cue, but with an open mouth and a whole lotta slobber.  Not cool, but we are working on it.

Man does he have separation anxiety.

He is awesome, but that isn't new.

Now that you've heard the bad and the ugly, let's hear the good:

In the car on the way to swimming:
L:  Mom, remember that time at the dentist when I was picking a treat out of the treat bag and the lady smiled and said that I was getting floss?
Me:  Yes, that was so fun, wasn't it?
L:  (sigh)  Yeah, mom.  She was so terrified of me.  I was lucky.
Me:  Terrified?  Really?
L:  Yeah, so terrified.
Me:  So, what does terrified mean?
L:  Terrified is another way to say she was really impressed with me and my floss.  Really impressed.
