"Mommy, Where Do Babies Come From?"

"Mommy, where do babies come from?"

I explain.

"Wow, that's unexpected."

Atticus chimes in with "Nooooo, babies come from under couch!" (This would be where Atticus always finds his toy baby)

Wowza!

FYI, this was a brand new book which he had never seen.

ELMO!!!

More of Atticus's Birthday!

Sweet Moments

So it's been a crazy start to the year and I've done exactly what I swore I wouldn't- dropped on some pictures without so much as an ounce of color commentary.
So starting the term is always going to be insane; I've got that figured out now. Tomorrow is Atticus's birthday party and I start teaching Hebrew school on Sunday. Monday I have a paper due and Wednesday is a double fun dose of double stats.
So I spent all morning making Elmo cupcakes. Six months Atticus has begged and pled for an Elmo party. I scoured the country to find the only real sesame street place Elmo constume in existence (props to uncle Gary for picking it up for me!). Literally 18 Elmo cupcakes and 6 Cookie Monster cupcakes into decorating the 2 dozen cupcakes for tomorrow morning and this happens:
"Mama?"
"Yes?"
"Me not want Elmo party."
"huh?"
"No Elmo party. Me want diggers."

So I put construction hats on Elmo and Cookie. Sigh

Ok, so I just had what was definately the funniest conversation I have had in the past month.

I called D's grandmother to wish her (and the rest of the family who were sure to be congregating at her place) a healthy and happy new year. Here's the transcript:

Me: "Hi Grandma, happy new year!"

Grandma: " Hi, dear. We were just talking about you."

Me: "Well whatever I am being accused of, I didn't do it."

Grandma: " Obviously."

Me: "Huh?"

Grandma: "We were just wondering when you were going to get pregnant again. So, as I said, obviously you didn't do it, dear."

Well played Grandma, well played! Nothing like being out sassed by an almost 90 year old. I hope I'm just as awesome in 50+ years.

New PJs!!
