So much for weekly updates, huh? Guess we'll have to settle for semi-monthly. So much is happening so fast, I forget half of it before I have a chance to write it down. I know I'm going to miss telling all of you about some of the really good stuff here, but until the Danimal can be trusted in the study, we're going to be limited to my memory at the rare times when I can sneak in here alone!
So here's what I can remember from the past few weeks.. Seth is in piano lessons and really loving it. He recently became very distressed however and announced that he does not have a "middle finger." His must be missing, he cried, since he's sure there are only four, two on the left and two on the right, with nothing growing in the middle! I assured him his fingers were fine, explained that the thumb was counted as a finger in piano, and resolved to call his third digit "tall man" from now on. At this, he quickly retorted: "Well if Mr. Thumb is going to be a finger now, I guess we'd better start calling him Shortman!"
Seth is enjoying 4 yr old pre-K and becoming quite the ladies man. One little girl in particular has caught his attention, and he has apparently asked her to marry him when they "get big." To his delight, she said "yes." Just for the record, her name is Natalie. I had explained to him one night, after watching Aladdin, that God knows the name of the girl he will marry someday and even though we don't know her name, we can still pray for her. That night after our prayers were said, he whispered to me, "Mom, when I grow up, if I get married to Natalie from school, I'm going to kiss her sideways all the time."
Daniel is recovering from a stomach virus and making up for lost time on all fronts. He has acquired a knack for opening containers with his teeth, and goes after anything that will either redocorate a room in our house or fill his bottomless tummy. This week's top contenders have been face powder (my bedroom is now Transluscent Ivory.. turns out its not so translucent afterall); pancake mix, Quaker oats, and today's special, guzzling Aunt Jemima right from the bottle! Yes, I do feed him, I promise. His other recent passions are screaming/squealing at the top of his lungs when life doesn't go his way, saying a very redneck "Hi" (more like Haaa) to everyone who looks his way, and spinning around in circles laughing and shouting "Dizzy! Dizzy!"
That's all for now, folks... check back soon.
