Where Did This Come From?

A few days ago I was sitting here at my kind of trusty computer, listening to my son play his Vtech Vsmile in the next room.  (A Vtech Vsmile is a learning game you plug into the tv and play.)  He was playing his Dora the Explorer game and he was learning and having fun at the same time!

 As I worked on the computer I saw Charlotte pass me and go into the room Will was in.  Next I heard "I'll Smack you down like a smack-a-damion."  What????  Who is he going to smack down and more importantly, where did he get that from?


After many questions on my part, and lots of confusing answers on Will's part, I have come to figure out that he was talking to Charlotte.  Apparently Charlotte decided to try and help Will play his game.  Will didn't care for the help.  Especially since it was coming from the dog!


So, where did he get the "Smack you down" thing from?  I still don't know.  He hasn't said it since though.  I wonder if I should be paying a little more attention to Dora the Explorer.  After all she is getting into her teen years.  Just the other day I saw the Dora doll in the store that was a teen.  My question is.....why?....I don't know a teenager who still likes Dora anyways.

This is the Dora Will watches!

This is the teen Dora!



I don't know if I trust the Teen Dora.  What do you think?

Boobie Holder Search!

Yesterday I went on a search for a new boobie holder (a bra).  All you ladies know how hard it is to find a good boobie holder.  I hate shopping for one!  I normally don't have many to start with, so when my favorite one broke a few days ago I had to go out and find another one. 

My son use to love to go in the ladies underwear department.  He even liked Victoria's Secret.  He would ride in the buggy or walk through yelling "boobies" and trying to touch all the bras he could.  Now that he is 4 year old, he goes with Daddy while Mommy shops for "her stuff". 

At 4 he is so funny about all this.  A few months ago, he was in the bathroom putting on his p.j.s when he  said "Mommy, I see your boobies!"  I'm looking down at myself to make sure I'm dressed.  Yes, I was.  So, how did he see my boobies?  Oh, I had my bra hanging up to dry!  Silly boy! He really thought they were my boobies.  After wiping the tears from my eyes from laughing, I had to explain that Mommy's boobies don't come off.  That was just Mommies boobie holder. 

I don't know if he understands, but that was all the detail I was going into.  ((sigh))  If only I could take them off and put on a new pair anytime I feel like it.  Oh well.  God gave me these and I really do like them.  We'll see in another 10 years if I'm singing the same tune. LOL!

(I decided this post needed no pictures! You can thank me in the comment section.)

Spoiled!

Conversations with your children can sometimes be enlightening. 


Will goes through a bad spell every few months, where he does everything in his power to not listen, disobey, talk back, and downright ignore.  Yesterday I put him to bed early and begged my peach Avon bubble bath to take me away!!!!


This is how my day started going down hill.  I was in the kitchen cutting up chicken for dinner when Will walks in the house and tells me Charlotte is stuck on his tractor.  I look out the window and sure enough, he rolled over her tie out she was on (to keep her from investigating the neighbors yard when I'm not out side with her) and it was wrapped around the back tire of his John Deer Tractor.  I tell him I'll be right out.  While I'm washing my hands, he decides to take maters into his own hands, and try to back up and go forward on his tractor until he wraps her so tight she is getting sucked under his fenders.  By the time I rescue her she has cuts on her nose and blood on the top of her head.  Poor Baby Girl! She wasn't even crying. 


When I asked Will why he's so mean and bad he tells me he can't help it if he's spoiled.  "You are the one who spoiled me." he said, with his hands firmly on his hips.  Like it's all my fault he just hurt Charlotte.  When I tell him I can solve that problem and make sure I NEVER spoil him again he starts to whimper, "But I want you to spoil me! Don't stop!"  A lot of crying followed that little meltdown!

Well lets just say he was punished really good, (talking under his breath the whole time about being spoiled) and then had to explain to his Daddy what happened later that day. That was another punishment in itself. 

The rest of my day didn't get any better.  The disobeying and talking back got him punished again.  I can only hope today is better.  I have a bad feeling it's not going to be.  The spoiling may not stop entirely, but a lot of things will be changing.  I only pray I don't fall for his sweet little face and love takes over my judgment.  That's my downfall.

Did He Really Just Say That?

Children say really funny things at odd times. My son has picked up a few new "big" words, and amazingly knows how to use them.

Will had a dentist appointment Monday. He had his teeth "tickled" and cleaned. Know he has been referred to another dentist for the deterioration on two of his top teeth. We have that appointment at the end of this month.

After they cleaned his teeth he looks at me and says "PeePaw is going to be so jealous of my sparkly clean teeth!" His PeePaw just had all his teeth taken out so he could have dentures put in soon.

After we left the dentist I had to make a trip to walmart. I am making him a quilt and needed some more fabric. They didn't have exactly what I was looking for. This is when Will looks at me all serious like and says "Mommy, why don't you try something different. Variety is the spice of life." What? Did my 3 year old just say this? (This goes to show he has watched too many Olivia cartoons!)

WOW! He is getting so big. His vocabulary is getting even bigger than mine! I will have pictures later of his quilt after it's done. I was hoping to have it done soon, but I had to take Will to the doctor yesterday. Apparently he caught a (hopefully 24 hour) stomach virus. He is doing really well with it. He through up around 3:00 am yesterday, but since then he is just tired and hardly eating anything. My poor little man. He is taking it so well!

Sharing

I have been working on the sharing idea with Will for some time now. As most mothers know this is a problem at some time or another. Being an only child, he doesn't have to share all that often. When his cousins and friends come over he had been struggling with the idea of sharing.

We traveled to his Grandmother's house the other day and he had his chance to show us that he has been listening. My hubby was driving and got out at the gas station. When he got in a Reba McEntire song was on the radio. He very well changed it. He is not a big Reba fan. I feel that you should never turn a Reba song off. That is just something you don't do. Well 15 minutes later a Johny Cash song came on. I turned it. Hubby was very upset to say the least. He doesn't look well on turning a Cash song.

As we argued about who was right and who should just grow up, Will stops us by saying "Mommy...Daddy...you have to share your music!" What do you say to that. I am just so glad he has been learning what sharing really means. All my work is paying off. The ironic thing is I was the one not sharing. Funny how things work out.

Now I am more than happy to continue trying to teach him not to run in the house. This seams to be a bit harder lesson to learn. It sure gives him a lot of bumps and bruises.

Silly Boy!

Kids say and do things that make you want to laugh your but off. My son is no exception!

He loves to take baths and so, also usually splashes a good amount of water out of the tub. A few weeks ago, when he was getting out of the bath he slipped and fell in this splashed out water. After I saw that he was ok I couldn't help but laugh. I could see his small little naked body going down. He had this crazy look on his face that I can't forget. (I know I'm not right.)

Well the other night he was splashing away again as I fused him. He knew I had enough when I told him to get out of the tub this instant! He turns his little head to me and says all serious "Mommy It's not my fault! I don't want to be bad! I just can't help it! I want to be a good boy!"

What do you say to that? I just stared at him for a minute. Then I had to walk away and laugh behind the door. What made it even more funny is that my hubby was just in ear shot and was laughing his but off around the corner.

Then, when he gets out I put on his new Bob The Builder underwear. (Yes I finally found some! He is a Bob The Builder fan and I can't fined that stuff anywhere. I found it at an outlet store. They only had one size too! Thank the Good Lord it was his size!) He puts them on and bends his legs a little and does this crazy little dance in them. I laughed until I fell over on to the floor. He is so silly sometimes.

When he was don dancing I put on his Bob The Builder P.J.s (That don't match and are second hand from his older cousin). Now to sleep he is all set in Bob The Builder.

And don't forget his Bob The Builder pillow case and blanket I found at Good Will. He should be dreaming good dreams of building Mommy a new house in all that Bob stuff.

The Things That Come Out This Kids Mouth!

This weekend we didn't do much. The weather report called for rain everyday. So, all our plans were made around that. We stayed home mostly. Saturday we rested for a change. The last few weekends had been hectic for us. Saturday night we decided to bar-b-q with a little of our family over. We only left the house to get things for the bar-b-q.

Sunday I went to church. It was a great service. I did not have Will with me and so I could concentrate a little better. Will wanted to stay home and ride his John Deere Tractor. Since I thought It would rain that day, I let him. As you can guess it rained everywhere but our house. You could literally see the rain from our house pouring on our neighbors down the road.

Sunday night we had planed tacos. This is my hubby's father's favorite. He canceled on us but we made them anyway. This dinner turned out to be so funny. We sat at the table and was eating when I started telling hubby that I found my favorite flavor in Dr Pepper. I said it was the 24th flavor. Knowing they only advertise that it has 23 flavors, he looked a little sideways at me. So I explained I liked the way a cold can of it tasted better than in a cup or bottle. My favorite flavor then is the taste of cold aluminum. This was not the funny part. The funny part was that Will was listening and trying to make this work in his mined.

He said "Well, I like the way a Dr Pepper taste in a Coke can."

I said "Well I wonder what the people at Dr Pepper would say to that.'

He then changed his voice to be a bit deeper and said "They would say, Then you never had a Dr Pepper."

I don't know if this is as funny now as it was then, but he has never had Dr Pepper or Coke. He only drinks juice and kool aid. And the way he changed his voice made me laugh even harder. To think that is exactly what the Dr Pepper people would say to him. I laughed so hard that I think the taco I was in the middle of eating came out my nose. This made us all laugh a little more. Don't worry though I am ok! I know you were concerned! Lol!!

I hope everyone had something that made them laugh this weekend! And a big Happy Labor Day to you all! Hubby had to work today :( We are just planing today like any Monday.
