A Day in the Life. . .December, 2007 Pet NamesMy children each had more pet names in the first year of their lives than most people will acquire in an entire century of relationships. Most of these pet names are unique to each child, but some of them are generally accepted terms of endearment like Darling and Baby and Little Love. I used one such nic name on my little 3 year old this week. I called him Sweet Pea. My mom used this one on us all the time. Well his comprehention must be expanding, because he had an entirely new reaction to it this time. He looked at me slowly and said in a very scolding tone, "MOM! Don't say that. That is very CRUDE. You should say Sweet POTTY."
I think that's a term of endearment I'll be retiring from this moment on.
September, 2007 Little Women, Little MenCheyenne has built an elaborate fort in the living room. Mason wanted to watch a movie, but Cheyenne wouldn't let him in her "house" unless he was part of the game. He suggested he could be her husband and that could be their house. Cheyenne agreed, excited by the idea of having someone to boss around. But after several attempts to get him to engage in the game, he was still just ignoring her and watching his movie. She lost her temper after a while and said, "MASON! You're supposed to be playing!" Mason said, "I AM playing!" Cheyenne snapped back, "No you're not! You're just completely ignoring me and watching your dumb movie!" To which Mason replied, "DUH! That's what I'm SUPPOSED to do! I'm your HUSBAND!"
Yikes.
June, 2007 My Daughter, The SalesmanThis being the first week of summer break, I'm having a difficult time adjusting to having the kids home. It's the mess. They're such cute little PIGGIES. I feel like I'm picking up all day long, and it's still a cluttered sty. Tonight, Cheyenne approached me, sat me down, started stroking my hair and said, "Mom, I can see you've been working hard today. I wish I could do something to make your day a little easier. Sadly, I see also that it is dinner time. That means even more work for you. But if you wouldn't mind driving, I think you've definitely earned a break for the night and I'd love to take you out to dinner!"
I think I'm going to take her out, just for the amazing sales pitch!
June, 2007 Delightful momentsThey've got it all figured out!I overheard the funniest conversation between Mason, who is 6, and his friend Nate. They were playing Superman on X-Box.
Mason: "Ya, the North Pole! That's where Santa Clause lives!"
Nate: "Santa Clause isn't even real!"
Mason: "I KNOW THAT!"
Nate: "But that IS where Superman lives."
Mason: "Ya, he lives there in crystals."
Nate: "Ya."
