4 years and 2 months

our little boy is getting older right before my eyes. the other day, i suggested that he wear pants, and he turns to me and says, "no thank you, mommy, i have shorts."

He stood looking in the mirror the other day and said, "my head is getting bigger, mommy." Not sure what that was in reference to. 

i asked him in the middle of a fussy attitude, "buddy, does fussing and whining ever work?"

he responds, "no. <ahem> mommy, can you change your mind and give me some juice?"

on the other hand, he is still a little boy. a little boy who has peed in his bed approximately 793 times in the past two weeks. that's an exaggeration, but it is about 2 times a night. it's making me a little bit tired, to say the least. i thought it was because of his hand, foot, and mouth disease, which caused a terrible, quarter-sized, thrush-covered ulcer on his tongue. but alas, it's not there anymore, and he's still doing it. *sigh*

also, thank you, Europe for your special HFMD that also affects adults, including me! i got a little sore on my lip and one little one on my hand. and mose and i were business-as-usual the whole time we were contagious. so, you're welcome for the new European HFMD, CDC/Kindercare/Clarkston. you're welcome.
