The "happy" eaters...

"We eat ice cream now?"

I don't think he felt like eating much because he wasn't feeling well. At least his runny nose is mostly gone, but he's congested. He's got the funny deep voice. He was very quiet during dinner but he did manage to say to me: "I"m not wearing underwear." Hmm, hardly appropriate to say over dinner. I asked him about it and he said no more. I guess that's all he had to say about that.

Peacefully still asleep.

Some photos at the park. Sniffly again, ugh!

Sniffly NJ missed out on our little lunch date... he loves seeing his favorite di-di (little brother)!

Alaska Puzzle

Everyday (sometimes several times a day) he asks me to "play puzzle" with him. I didn't like it that much at first because it was just him dumping the pieces, spreading them all over, me putting it together while he gets distracted and uninterested until I'm done and he'll take it all apart. But now it's better because he'll help me find pieces and actually put some together himself. Hmm, time for more puzzles?

"Mama, come here... come sit next to me!"

Patchwork

We completely overslept this morning, it was terrible. By the time we were up and ready, we would have been walking into the second service at HOPE half way through (at least). So we checked out a local indie craft fair. Such cool stuff, I'm inspired! It was hard not to buy anything, but it's good not to spend. We had a nice time walking around, there was food, music, and so much creativity! It was quite hot though... It's almost December and it was 89 degrees, what in the world?! Funny, we ran into two different friends there, that was nice.

"I want to hurt myself"

On the way home from our little outing, NJ was quite cranky. He was hungry and also needed a nap. He started to hit his arm on his car seat repeatedly. I asked him to stop because he'd hurt himself. He says, "I want to hurt myself."

This is him after his nap, happy to be eating another piece of his penguin cookie.

"I don't want to grow"

He always asks for some when I drink tea or coffee. Doesn't help that I'm always drinking some (one of my few food weaknesses)! My response is, "You can't have any, it's caffeine. It's not good for you." He used to say, "I want caffeine." Tonight when I said to him, "You want to grow don't you?" He says, "I don't want to grow."
