I'm in trouble

It's been awhile and I think the easiest way to catch up is by story telling...

Lady in the store: Hi batman!
b: Yeah, it's me.  Who are you?
lady: Catwoman
b: oh, go away, Batman doesn't like Catwoman.

b calls his grandfather Robin.  When talking to my grandpa, he says, "Grandfather is Robin, but I call him Rob."

Me: I'm hungry.  What should we have for dinner?
b: I'll make you dinner.  I'll make chicken, rice, beef. (Probably because he has never seen me cook)
Me: Great!  Thanks!
He goes to open the fridge, comes back and says, "Nevermind, a drink is a food, just have a diet coke."

Me: Ugh, I forgot to buy milk and we need some.
b: It's ok, maybe Santa will bring it for you.

b: Mom, tell me you love me.
me: I love you.
b: You said it wrong.
me: I love you!!
b: I guess that will have to work.

me: What did you do at school today?
b: I kicked Carlos for sitting by Owen.
me: That's terrible.  Did you get in trouble?
b: No.  Bryan did it not me.
me: Aren't you Bryan?
b: sometimes.

Bryan got jelly on his mouth and comes over to wipe his face on my leg.  I stopped him and asked what he was thinking.  He looks at me and says, "my mouth is dirty, what did you want me to do?" 

While baking Christmas cookies, Bryan kept stealing the marshmallows.  Every time I turned around, he had another mouthful of marshmallow.  Finally, I put him in time out.  He goes over to the corner, fake cries for a minute, then says, "I'm done crying, let's make a deal."

me: Bryan, come brush your teeth.
b: ugh!  I don't have time for this!

At the Mavs game.
"b, who is your favorite player?"  "The Giants."

me: We have to go get a black shirt for your school costume.
b: What am !?
me: A skeleton.
b: No!  I will not be a "keleton"!  Batman is not a "keleton".  If you make me be a "keleton" I will not have fun at the party.

Grandfather: C'est la vie
b: la vee

The day after Halloween...
b: I love Halloween day.  What's next?
me: Thanksgiving
b: good, I'll be batman again and you will give me candy.
me: It doesn't work that way.
b: Then I only like Halloween day.

Steph offered b a cookie.  He sticks his face in the tin.  Everyone yells, NO NO NO!
He looks up says innocently, "what?  I was just going to lick them."

I had to go to the chiropractor.  b starts to cry.  I asked why he was crying.  He said he was sad for me because I had to go to the doctor.  "It's ok b.  Mommy likes the doctor."  "You're crazy."

me: You're handsome.
b: Thanks, I work out.

me: I signed you up for baseball.  You're going to be a grasshopper.
b: I'm not a grasshopper.  Those are bugs.  I'll be a flamingo.

I try to get b to explain why he does things.  The other night, I was out and he calls me to say, "I want you to come home because I want you to come home."
I left immediately :)

b: Your house is in the toilet.
me (because I'm a mature adult): Your mom is in the toilet.
b: NO!  She would get wet in there.

Chicago

This summer, we took a trip to Chicago to see the city.  Our vacation was completely geared toward b.  We went to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aqaurium, John Hancock Observatory, Taste of Chicago, Navy Pier, and Brookfield Zoo.  We also spent some time with the family.  b loved every minute of our vacation.  We all had a great time.

Let's Go MAVS!!

As a good parent, I try to teach my son proper morals and values and to love and cherish the correct things in life.  Therefore, instilling a love of the Dallas Mavs was high on my priority list. 
The Mavs make it to the first round of the playoffs pretty much every year.  I'm always a fan, even when they lose...every year...  This year, I held my breath as they went all the way!  My b was right there cheering with me!



He likes to play basketball while the game is on.


He shouts appropriate phrases at the TV such as "Get the rebound" and "From down town!"


Bryan and I went to the watch party to see the Mavs win the championship.
b accompanied me to the parade.  We had a blast.

Monster Jam


My little b LOVES monster trucks.  For his birthday, we bought tickets to Monster Jam.  Bryan got us pit passes and b could hardly wait to see his favorite "doggie monster truck."

I loved watching b.  He was so excited about everything.



      





Can't wait for next year!!

i heart b

Bryan had a party at school.  I had to miss due to my pink eye.  I chose to be an adult and not infect all of the children at day care.
Bryan went to the party.  He walked in, b got so excited, he threw his snacks away, ran to get his coat, and yelled, "Let's Go!"  He's a party animal.

I made Valentine's for all of b's friends at school.  I tried to steal the sucker idea where the kid stands still, smiles, and reaches his fist straight out as if to hand you a sucker. 

Yeah...right...

Next I tried to spell out I <3 U using b as the letters. 

This is the i.  The rest of it closely resembled a child rolling around on the floor...

We ended up with this and a 3 musketeers.  Good thing he's cute.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

After four days of being couped up in the house doing crazy things like laundry, cleaning, and cooking, we finally went outside.

We bundled up and made the long journey to the Bingham's (in the next neighborhood).  The boys got to play in the snow and we got to sled down their driveway in a kiddie pool.

 Our makeshift sled

Making Snowballs

 Happy Snow Day!
