Excuse me

You have been coughing the last few nights and despite going to yellow meds on nebby the cough continues.  So we decided to keep you home today and take you to the doctor.  While in the doctors office you acted pretty chipper, so she probably thought you weren’t sick at all, but you did have another ear infection.  During the visit while I was talking to the doctor you said timidly, “excuse me, are you the doctor?”

Delicious

You have been wanting little sips of water at bedtime.  We try to avoid in an attempt to keep your night time panties dry, but occasionally give in.  Tonight after your sip you said, “hmmm, that was delicious.”

Not so subtle hint

This morning when you woke up we walked out to the living room and you said, “papa, you need to put on a shirt, that tummy is very large.”

Grandpa & Grandma

Grandpa & Grandma came to visit this weekend.  You got to spend some quality time with Grandma while we worked with Grandpa on building some shelves downstairs.  Your play room is nearing completion, we just need to find some space for a few remaining items to get out of your play room.

Fun Abenture

Today was President’s day so school was closed. I took the day off to stay home with you, but we did not just stay home. We left early to go to see where daddy works. On the way we saw one accident and 2 cars in the ditch. We got to meet all of the people that work with dad. Next we left and went to papa’s old work, to see many people there. You did very well at both places and impressed with your knowledge of colors & numbers in both English and Spanish. On the way home you said, “papa, that was a fun abenture.”

Later when we were getting ready for bed I told you how proud I was of you for having such a good day and being a good listener.  You turned to me and said, “papa you were a good boy today too.”

Haircut Girl

This afternoon while playing in your bedroom you wanted to brush my hair.  You said “I am Madison the hair cut girl”.  Later you said “Papa is the doctor, daddy is the nurse and I am the hair cut girl.”

Not Listening

Tonight during our daily bedtime routine we were sitting on the potty and you like to stall sometimes.  I said, let’s get going your done going potty and you responded, “you’re not listening, I said I need to poop”.

Smell

While playing on the floor with daddy you said, “daddy you smell”, when he asked what do I smell like you said “poop”.  I suspect it was a bad case of coffee breath that you did not like.

Butter Work

At school you have different items to learn with each day and they are called your “work” or “works”.  The teachers often ask for food items that they use in class, whether it is apples or oranges or bananas.  This week they wanted someone to bring in carrots, butter and bread.  We brought in unsliced bread this morning and you carried the bag around to make sure everyone knew that you brought in bread.  Tonight while rocking to go to sleep you had your eyes closed and were breathing heavy, so I thought you were close to being asleep, when you opened your eyes and said.  “Papa, Nicholas said the bread was his.”  I said that we brought the bread in to share with all of your classmates.  I then asked if you sliced or buttered the bread in class and you said, “No I didn’t do the butter work today, but Nicholas did butter work and then he ate it”.
