song requests

somewhere in between "the muffin man" and making up random diddies about caterpillers, moses also requests Taylor Swift songs. i admit it's really cute, but i do think we need to expand his repertoire a bit.

fiddle?

so, every day, i'm still surprised by how much our little mo knows now. today, he was telling us about the "century table" ("sensory table") at school. he told us that there are "1, 2 fiddles" and tried to describe them to us, there is a hole in the middle, and things that go out, and it's round.

shane really thought he was saying fiddles, so he looked it up on google image to show mo, and with a quick glance and a big cheesy smile, moses says, "those are violins, daddy! we don't have violins at daycare!! we have maracas!!"

we still don't know what he meant by fiddles at the century table, but we do know he knows a thing or two about instruments. :)

Cheerios with my Mo

Oh!! Cheerios are a circle, and they look like a zero!!

Mommy, I'm thirsty

He stood at my doorway in his pajamas and repeated this about 10 times. I replied, ' no, it's time for bed, buddy." It was like a no-drama, son-to-mommy showdown. 

We had cut off liquids in hopes that he wouldn't pee during the night. 

I heard him go potty. I heard him wash his hands. Then I heard the water on a long time. I walked over to the bathroom and saw him leaning over, with his face under the faucet, taking long satisfying drinks. He finished up, dried his hands, and saw me. 

He said, "Mommy, I went potty, and I drunk water!" 

Yes, you sure did. And I felt pretty proud. Proud that he solved his problem on his own, and that he told me about it right away. He's so great, my heart could really just burst with love and pride.
