This one was related to me by Z's mum:

Guy: ugh. My head's going to explode
Zoe: Don't Say that! It makes me think of Zombies!
Guy: So... You don't want me to say head's going to..
Zoe: AAaaa!
Guy: Ok, I won't say me...
Zoe: AAaaa!

Dweller: Morning, buddy, how are you doing.
Graeme: Good.
Dweller: Excellent. Want out of the crib?
Graeme: Cow in the crib!
Dweller: There's a cow in the crib? I don't see him.
Graeme: Cow hiding.
Dweller: Ah, well cows . . .
Graeme: Duck!
Dweller: Where? In the crib?
Graeme: No, Daddy silly. Duck running on the wall.
Dweller: Really? I hope he doesn't leave footprints.
Graeme: Farmer in the light (points to turtle-shaped light on his bedstand).
Dweller: Isn't he hot?
Graeme: No, farmer hiding.
Dweller: Ah, well then.

So, either we stop reading him Click, Clack, Moo and Duck for President before bed, or we get used to more conversations like this.

So the 'wreck Daddy's head' campaign is off to a good start then?

I can follow his logic much of the time, but occasionally toddler-logic makes Shrondinger seem perfectly accessible.

oh that's too funny! i love it when my kids come up and tell me bizarre things like "when you live in a peach you have buggy friends".

Someone's been reading "James and the Giant Peach," then?

actually, our current bedtime stories are "Where the Wild Things Are" and "The Moon Jumpers". i rented "James and the Giant Peach" from netflix for him to watch on the numerous rainy days. i am excited, though, i got "The Day I Swapped my Dad for Two Goldfish" with the cd for christmas. i can't WAIT to read that to him.

Graeme won't get into Where the Wild Things Are. I can read a complete 40 page book with a picture every other page, in one sitting, but not that book. It's weird.

Current favourite is probably Duck for President, though.

Have anyone's kiddos gotten into the Junie B. Jones books yet?

They are ever so silly.

Their kinda like Ramona Quimby books, only for first graders.

I teach a class for Columbus Children's Theatre for 5-7 year olds based around those---the kids get to act out all the adventures that Junie B. has.

I took the kids through this one exercise where they got to pretend they were chicken eggs, and hatched into chicks, and then grew up into hens and roosters, and I told the roosters to strut around. Aaron, age 6, turned to me and announced "I'm struttin' cuz I'm looking for chicks!"

I about died.

*laughs*

Kids are most natural comedians, that's for sure.

No Junie P. Jones books in Graeme's collection first, but I imagine there will be.

was doodling on a paper just now, made a spiral.
Zoe: awww, I don't want you to get hypnotized...

Aria came up to me just now and said, "What you doing, Dadda?" I told her I was "talking" on the computer (I was on Yahoo IM). She gave me a funny look, put her ear up to the desk, and hearing nothing, shook her head and walked off, saying, "Dadda silly."

Yes. Yes I am...

I was asked to write this here too. But I'm lazy, so I'll just quote what wrote in the shift:

Kasper had his first "real" bath today. There seems to be different opinions wheather it's good to give baby a bath before the bellybuttonthingie (I don't know what it is called in English) gets off. We decided to wait anyway, since there is some chance for infections. Anyway, he hated it. I suspect the whole town heard him scream.
I wonder if there's a nerd gene or something? If there is, he would probably have it, and that would explain the fear of clean water.

Anyways. We'll try again next weekend and I'll let you know how it went.

ok, pictures of my kiddies again.

my little girl, felicity. she is now 17 months.

my son simon, third birthday party taken at his grandma's house.

Just because I feel like some gratuitous Aria picture posting...

adorable! *hugs cute little girl*

in the car today, goofing around:
me: Zoe Zoe Zed Zoe Zed Zed Zoe Z
Zoe: Zoe Zoe Zed llama llama Zoe

hehehe!!!

YAAAYYY!!

ohhh that makes me so happy...

Was at Z's mum's house, and Zoe was tossing a ball in the air and trying to hit it with a toy sword (aka, Baseball).
me: Um, Zoe, while I don't know the rules here, I'm fairly sure that's not cool.
Zoe's mum pointed out the no hitting things or throwing things rules for her house. "Do you think that's ok?"
Zoe: "...*pause, considering if what she's doing matches said rules*... Now that you say it like that..."

BWAHAHAHAAA!!!!

Have I mentioned lately how much I love your kid??
