June 2006

Owen, you continue to make me laugh, even when I don't want to. All day long you run up to me to tell me something so earnestly, and you are so serious and you have to get so close to my face to tell me. "Mommy, mommy! I draw Jay Jay! So big and beautiful!" Everything is "So beautiful" or "So cool" these days. Kills me. Anyway, you take me to your drawing - it was on the bathroom mirror and you had used toothpaste on your toothbrush to draw it. You were so proud I had a hard time disiplining you. I just tried to explain that art was for crayons, not toothpaste.

I forget how old you are now and I still talk to you like you are a little baby who doesn't get what I am saying. But you do get it. Today I was crying. You said, "why you crying mommy?" And I said "Because I lost the baby." And you started getting so excited and yelling "I find the baby! I find the baby! In the bag! I know, the baby in the bag!" And then you tried "Behind the couch! Baby behind the couch!" No go, but I appreicated your effort sweet boy.

I know I've already said this but I love, love, love when you say "So beautiful!" It sounds like "So booful!" LOVE IT.

I love your little scentences. "I do it myself. I climb the chair myself."

You are such a stinker - I was workign on the laptop at the kitchen bar and you came up andsaid "HI" and started hanging/swinging off the counter top. It was so hard to discipline you because you are just so funny.

You were so funny the other night, you wanted to pee on the potty, but you were getting angry that nothing was coming out so you started yeling "Come out! Come out!" Nothing happened so you started hitting your pee-pee and yelling even louder! Too funny.

You are so tough, we had a terrible trip to Walmart the other day when I had both you and Alec in the 2 seater cart and you just kept hitting Alec, pulling his shirt, pulling his hair, etc, etc, etc. NOTHING would make you stop. NOTHING. I was that insane Walmart mom - seriously I felt like a bad cartoon. I love you, but you my dear Owen, are a challenge.

You have to announce and tell me about everything. I love how you yell "LOOK! LOOK! I see a firetruck!" It go the station!" You just always have a bit of a stroy to tell and if I keep askign you questions you get so excited and love to answer and tell even more.

I went to get you out of the crib the other mornign and you were sitting up but with shoulders hunched in your "sad" position. I asked you what was wrong ans you said "I by myself" Poor lonely guy! But then when we were talking about putting you and Alec in the same rom you got a bit upset and said "No! I sleep my crib!"
