Share and Share Alike

Our son likes to share things with people-- he always makes sure my husband or I get a bite of whatever he's eating, and will often try to give his toys (or items from our shopping cart) away to other children or friendly adults.
But does it go too far when he wants me to nurse his stuffed animals? Today Love Dog had to have ma-ma, too, and last night Pooh-Bear gave up honey to join Littl'un in a milk treat.
Well, I guess it means he's a naturally generous child if he'll share those.

No, it's ham-BUR-ger. Ham-BUR-ger!

I was talking to The Littl'un this afternoon about what we could have for supper tonight. "Hmmm. We could have hamburgers..." I said as I peered into the freezer. I looked over at my son, and he had an uncertain look on his face and one finger in his nostril, the universal sign for "booger."
His thought:
"What on earth is Mama gonna cook for us tonight, and where is she gonna get enough of them? Well, as long as I get ketchup with it..."

Dumb ol' Thumper

Yesterday I got a charlie horse while trying to teach Ro how to "hop over it" like the baby rabbits on Bambi. A charlie horse from hopping. How out of shape do you have to be to pull a muscle whilst jumping over a stuffed bear?
I can't wait for spring, haha. Get it? Spring?

Peachy-er

Those diced apples are, in fact, packed in grape juice. Ha!

Strange things are happening around here...

This new dishwasher has some features not detailed in the instruction manual, I think. Here are a few of the things that have happened since it was installed...

The kitchen is mysteriously clean...

Towels have appeared in the bathroom dried and folded...

A load of jeans was washed and hung up...

Spooky...

Our new addition

No, not another child, nor has my son discovered some part of human anatomy that has helped him make the leap to "threes."* My husband ran out this morning to see what kind of President's Day leftovers he could find, and came back with a new dishwasher!

It's a really nice model, and quiet enough that the littl'un slept through the inaugural wash.

And it also has a delayed start feature. Which is great for my dogs, really.

CARD: Hey, Molly, do you remember that time we were hanging out in the kitchen?

MOLLY: Yeah...

CARD: And we were waiting for Mom and Dad to come back?

MOLLY: Yeah...

CARD: And the dishwasher suddenly turned on all by itself???

MOLLY: Yeah.

CARD: That was weird.

MOLLY: Yeah. Can I lick your ears obsessively for a while?

*what on the human body comes in 3s anyway?

Peachy

I've been drinking the juice out of my son's Gerbers Graduates Fruit Dices for a while, and since he eats up to four jars of these a day, I thought, "Wow. I bet I'm getting a whole serving of fruit juice."
Then I checked the label and it doesn't say 'packed in real fruit juice' or anything. So I guess I've been drinking fruity sugar water.
But the apple flavor sure is yummy.

begin counting... now!

My son has discovered the number "two" and is constantly pointing out any sets of twos he can find. How has he discovered the concept of pairs at such an early age? Well, I'll give you one clue: he's breastfed. Now you do the math.
