This morning we had some nice cuddle time, listening to Raffi’s Let’s Play. My favorite song is this one: http://www.last.fm/music/Raffi/_/Swing It reminds me of when older son was a baby, we danced to it a lot.
We were listening to that and all cuddled up in a pile, toddler, older son, and I, this morning. And [...]

It has colors like this and is like this and it is a real live pretend caterpillar. It likes to eat butterflies and when it wants one it curls up into a cocoon. No not really a cocoon, a spiral. And then when the butterfly lands it springs up like this to catch it. Now, [...]

I am going to start referring to youngest son as the toddler because he walks now. He also has started to use a few words:
ma = more
mama = mama
cheeez = cheese
ba = bottle
guh = older brother
daw = dog
eyessss= eye, nose, mouth, or other part of the face
grunt = I want to high-five you and then [...]

At the zoo today. It is true that the baby really likes grapes. I wasn’t sure where to start in explaining to the older son why grapes aren’t animals, so I just took this one as a joke.
Older son’s favorite animal is in transition. Since he first became aware of animals at the zoo, it [...]

“I have gotten to know your son this summer through day camp…I have worked with young children for about four years now, but no child I have met says more to the point and hilarious comments as yours! [...]

[i can't successfully upload pics on wordpress today, so imagine that right here there is a picture of a little tiny creepy-crawly centipede-type-thing in my older son's hand, and that he is sitting in my car]
As it turns out, rather than completing his bug collection we are conducting an (unintentional) experiment into whether this type [...]

Cheez-its make the baby happy
An observation by older son about younger son, at the zoo this morning. I wish my camera were working, because this post would be much funnier with the accompanying illustration. Slobbery half-chewed Cheez-its are really gross, even on a cute smiling baby face.

Who invented people?
Almost verbatim car conversation, from yesterday:
Son: “Mom, did you know that before people were invented, robots lived all over the earth.”
Me: (Pause) “Really?”
Son: “Yeah, robots.”
Me: (Pause) “Well, who invented people, anyway?”
Son: (Pause) “Oh, the robots invented them.”
Me: “What about the robots, who invented them?”
Son: “God. Actually God and the robots invented the people together.”
Me: “Oh, [...]

Older son loves to pretend to be an animal. I know, you’re thinking to yourself, well that’s cute! But you don’t understand. I mean, ALL OF THE TIME. For instance, if we are at the zoo, after each and every animal (and there are a LOT OF ANIMALS there), he asks if he can pretend to [...]
