Christmas is coming soon. Breydon and Jude can hardly stand the wait and already have lists of things they want and cookies they want to bake a mile long.
Roegen? He doesn’t care about Christmas. He wants to see Santa and get a Pablo for Christmas. Instead, he’s counting down the days until his birthday in [...]
Roegen: I have penis
Scott: Yes, you have a penis.
Roegen: Jude have penis.
Scott: Yes, Jude has a penis.
Roegen: Breydon have penis.
Scott: Yes, Breydon has a penis.
Roegen: You have penis.
Scott: Yes, I have a penis.
Roegen: Mommy have penis.
Scott: No, Mommy does not have a penis.
Roegen: Mommy no have penis?
Scott: No
Roegen: Bummer
Saturday I awoke to the sound of a crash from the kitchen. Scott was out of town for a debate trip so I knew it had to be either a child or a cat. As I started to move I realize that my left arm is pinned by Jude and Breydon is asleep on my [...]
Have one mommy who is working in the kitchen.
Add two little boys (Jude and Roegen) who are supposedly riding their big wheel and scooter in the garage (properly helmeted, of course).
Add in ominous silence and the realization that neither boy has asked for anything for at least twenty minutes.
Find garage empty.
Find only dogs in the [...]
Scott and I like to joke that Roegen will be a sports commentator when he grows up. No matter what is going on, he has something to say about it. No one can get away with sneaking anything in this house, because if Roegen’s awake he’s got something to say about it.
“Jude in Breydon’s [...]
Roegen has been enjoying all of the one-on-one attention he is getting from me now that his older brothers are both in school. He loves being able to run into whichever room I’m in and give me the play-by-play on whatever he is up to now. Or thinking about getting up to. Or what the [...]
As is often the case in families with young children Scott and I aren’t able to connect physically as often as we’d like. Unlike the days before we had children we can’t do the horizontal tango without planning for it. Unfortunately, our youngest child has other plans.
I don’t know why it is but whenever Scott [...]
While changing Roegen’s diaper yesterday he told me “that my penis.”
I was in a silly mood so I asked, “Do you like your penis?”
The reply? “No. I LOVE my penis.”
We had a refill kit for our color printer cartridge sitting in a box I hadn’t sealed yet. Yesterday while I was at the bank Jude decided that he should pour it over Roegen’s head “because it would be fun.” After multiple scrubbings, this is still the result (and the color [...]
Tonight, when the boys were in bed after kisses, hugs, high fives, low fives, drinks of water and visits to the potty had all taken place I sat down to sort socks. You see, we have more socks than I know what to do with. Seriously. Every missing sock from the past five years has [...]
