Party Animal!
Azul just asked, “How many more days till your birthday?” I answered, “Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, and the next day is Sunday — that’s my birthday.” I rarely answer his questions directly. But he got very excited. “Wow, only two more days! We better start celebrating!” Wide eyed, I nodded and said, “Now, that’s what I’m talking about.” He continued, “We should have hog dogs and watermelon, those are for parties.” Oh, my little party animal. Love it! I might make a couple of changes, I don’t eat hot dogs and will probably pour vodka on the watermelon, but YEAH, let the birthday weekend begin!
Grounded by the Force
Azul is quite the seasoned traveler for only being four years old, but he is no George Clooney in Up In The Air, and I am afraid I have created a monster, or better yet, a sci-fi monster. During a layover in Dallas, Azul was talking with a much older woman at the airport — she was seven! They were very cute with their quick-fire back and forth conversation. In Azul’s obvious attempt to flirt with her, he said, “May the force be with you.” Her only response was a puzzled look. Probably not the last time he will confuse a woman.
Visiting Grandpa
Getting ready for Grandpa’s services, my sweet sensitive little boy said, “It’s weird visiting Grandpa when Grandpa’s not here.” I hugged him and replied, “You’re right my love, you are so right.”
