Typical conversation with Tristan while in the car...

T: "Mama, can you count for three years?'

me: "Probably."

T: "How much would it be?"

me: "No idea"

T: "Mama, if you are still counting after three years, would you be out of breath?"
pause 3 seconds "What does out of breath mean?"

me: "Probably. And it means that you need some more breath."

T: "Ok, so if you are out of breath and count for three years, would you throw up?"

me: "Probably"

T: "Cooooooolllllll"

Yes, it's that time again - Things Every Mom Should Know!
OK, here's today's tip: Find out specifics for objects (example: "It has to start with the letter G, Mommy!")for Show and Tell before it's time to leave for school. Don't just assume that you can grab a cool object while running out the door. Otherwise, mass chaos and much dumping of toy bins will ensue. Do you know how hard it is to find a toy that starts with the letter G?

Man, I LOVE this picture.

Me and haircutting

I am not to be trusted with hair clippers. You know, the kind that make lots of noise and can shave a head bald. Yeah, ummm, I have tried to cut hair twice with them. Once I ended up accidentally shaving a bald spot on the back of Tanner's head, and ended up with a nearly bald Boo-boo. The other day, I was going to get after Tristan's head of hair, which is a daunting task. Dude has some HAIR. So anyway, 30 minutes, lots of screaming (from both of us) and a lot of tears later, Tristan is bald. Buzzed. Looks like a marine. I pressed too hard and cut a bald spot on the top of his head. Cade, my wise child, has informed me that I am never cutting his hair - EVER.

Tristan hilarity

Mama, if Noggin is preschool on tv, why can't I just stay home and watch it?

Me: What's your least favorite thing?
T: Lunch
Me: *sigh* I had to ask...
