Catching up!

Well, I gave a link to this blog to all teachers to keep up with B after we moved across the country, but haven't updated at all!!! Oops.

Here's a quick catch-up, for anyone still reading:

-- B turned FIVE, loves his new school, lost his first tooth, started Tae Kwon Do, and can spell his name forward AND backwards!

Couple quick funnies in the past few weeks:

B (hearing thunder): Mommy, who do that?!?!?!
Me: Um . . . God . . . weather . . . the clouds . . .
B: I HATE Weather. I'm gonna pull his hair. Stupid Weather!!

*****

After eating cornbread: Mommy, I don't yike corn dog cake!

Straw broke the back . . .

Laying down with Daddy, and Daddy sneezed twice,

B: THAT'S IT. I'm outta here!

Empathy!!

Talking to B about our upcoming move the other day, and about his best friend, C:

Me: B, are you excited to move to GiGi and PaPa's house?
B: Yes.
Me: How does that make you feel?
B: Happy.
Me: How do you think C will feel?
B: C gonna miss me.



Wow.
Take THAT, Autism!

Story Time

"Reading" a book to me yesterday (looking at a photo of a cat and mouse):

B: Once upon a time, there was a little mouse. And a cat said, "10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, Ready or not, here I come! Oh, I FOUND YOU!!" And the mouse said, "EEEEK!"

Fun with intraverbals!

This morning B woke up on the proverbial "wrong side of the bed," so Daddy was trying to cheer him up:

Daddy: The itsy bitsy spider went up the water . . .
B: uh . . . spout . . .
Daddy: down came the rain and washed the spider . . .
B: daddy, that's too much to ask.

******

Later, Daddy started singing a song he made up for him when he was 2:

Daddy: My name is B and I'm two-foot-two and I jump all day like a kangaroo. Don't cross my mommy or she will ___________

B: hit me.


[whereupon i fell out of B's bed laughing!]

Danger!

The other morning we were all lounging in bed, and Daddy gave me a quick kiss.

B: No, don't kiss!
Me: Oh, we're going to kiss. (kiss)
B: NO!!
Daddy: I'll kiss mommy if I want to. (kiss)
B: NO . . . people going to get hurt!
Me and Daddy: (laughing, kiss)
B: NO NO NO!!! Somebody going to get hurt!!

Purple Eyes

This morning, B treated me to a few (bossy) gems:

B took my glasses. I asked for them back, and he said, "Um, you have to share, Mommy."

****

I told him the eye doctor said his eyes were perfect. "Perfect?" he asked. "Yes, B, your eyes are perfect. That means you don't need glasses." A few minutes later, he says, "I'm the doctor, and you're the boy. Your eyes are purple."

****

He messed up the settings on the remote control, and I asked him if he wanted me to fix it. Handing it to me, he said, "Yeah, go for it!"
