knock on wood

So in thinking about what I want to write about today, it is a little challenging because I am not feeling any major trauma at the moment! Yeah for that! Knock on wood! We had a fairly rough weekend, but most of that was to be expected and since Monday (when school was back in session from the week break) we have been having a very smooth time... I really believe that the smallest change can really send little man reeling.... and school provides a good amount of predictable structure....

I thought I would take my sister's idea and post some things about little man that make me smile.... or laugh.... so here goes.....

His hands.... I swear his hands are like meatballs with vienna sausages as fingers.... seriously... picture a meatball with 5 vienna sausages sticking out and those are his hands.... really makes me laugh....

He has started making fun of the way we walk, which is ridiculous if you know Mom and I, cause we are COMPLETELY different, but we recently learned it is not OUR walk, but a "girls" walk he is making fun of... basically it involves him walking and swinging his hips, which is only topped in hilarity when he puts his meatball hands on his hips when he does it.....

He talks in his sleep.... like, a lot.... we will hear him just babbling on in there to whoever, whatever..... he also moves a good bit.... I have witnessed him many times reach out for something in front of him in his sleep, and the meatball will just hang out in the air for a while until it gradually works its way back down to the bed....

He is a good eater, and pretty much eats and likes anything we make (assuming he is not just generally grumpy that day). I ask him "how is it?" and usually becuase his mouth is very full I just get a little vienna sausage thumbs up. He helped me make jam last weekend (raspberry mango) and now he is obsessed with it. Who knew that a few spoonfuls of jam and some ritz crackers made a great dessert? He did!

He says "lookit" ALL the time... like 400 times a day.... "mom lookit", "lookit at this", "lookit momma".... really it makes me a little crazy but it is kind of funny.... especially annoying and funny when we are in the car and he keeps saying "lookit" and I am driving and he is in the back seat!

He has some funny and strange things he has said, for example last weekend I noticed he had some bug bites on his arm. I said "wow, you have some bugbites", and he said "they are not bugbites". I said "okay, wow, you have some bumps" and he said "they are not bumps". I said "well, what are they?" and he said "it is a disease, it is called allergies"..... thats a head-scratcher if I ever heard one.....

So, for today only good things... I will have to take notes on other funny things he says and does... cause really he is a special little guy, he just makes us crazy sometimes....

As always, one day at a time!
