Freedom!
Back in April, Azul began insisting he dress himself, and I was fine with that, it is one less thing I have to do, but he was putting his clothes on backwards. When I would point out his “Kris Kross” style, he would say, “I like it like this.” So, okay. Well, over the last few months, he has gotten much better and his clothes are now on in the right direction. His new thing though, “going commando.” When I ask him about it, his reply is the same, “I like it like this.” Watch out Pre-school here we come!
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.
