Dinosaur Dreams

When James Talked to a Waitress

We went out to dinner tonight to get pizza before we went grocery shopping. I was all set to order James a milk, as Chris and I had already ordered our waters, when James looked up at the waitress and very nicely said, "Water, please!"

It was one of the cutest things ever. After the waitress had written down his order he said "Thank you" very quietly and folded his hands in his lap. (Insert melty, mushy mommy noises here.)

Our kid is braver than me! I don't think I ordered my own food until I was like 13, and my 2 year old just ordered water for himself. Wow.

James the Musical Genius

Here, James performs a stirring rendition of "Wheels on the Bus" on a Little Tykes piano with vocals.

Conversations

James (carrying flashlight): "Look, Mom-meee! Fyash-yite!"
Tena: "Cool flashlight, dude. Where did you get it?"
James (pausing to think, then looking up): "Bears."
Tena: "Bears gave you a flashlight?"
James: "Yes. Bears. Fyash yite!"


Quick, someone call animal control. There are bears in my house and they give my son flashlights.

Building Bridges

Sick toddler + sick parents = messy, messy living room. Oy. Cute kid though. And yes, he is holding Chris' metronome.

Poor Sick James

James has a cold. Poor kiddo. He's been reading a lot of books, drinking a lot of juice, and generally being pretty pitiful.

Welcome Baby Colt!

Congratulations Darren and Danielle on your perfect little son!
