"Why, Why and Why"

Yes, the day has come already...I thought for sure we'd have more time to prepare for it, we'd study lots of interesting fact books, we'd quiz each other on trivia, we'd be so excited to finally hear it...but instead it went something like this...
Mommy-"Van, please pick up Howie off this restaurant floor"
Van-"Why mommy?"
Mommy-momentarily stunned into silence..."because it's dirty"
Van-"Why mommy?"
Mommy-suddenly realizing it's not just a trick question...he's really asking it. "Because people might have dropped food on it"
Van-"Why mommy?"
Mommy-"Because they were messy"
Van-"Why mommy?"
So you get the picture...the "why" phase begins, the tough questions are right around the corner. We better get the cliff notes on useless facts and trivia now. I have a feeling this kid isn't going to accept "because I'm the mommy" as his answer.

Beds? Oh imagination

A typical play date for the three amigos...

"Look Mommy, Look!!"

Yes, I would if I could...
Aunt Beth gave us quite a chuckle with this one...

All Aboard!

Van's obsession with trains continues...he's found the Geotrax website (okay I admit, I found it and made the fatal mistake of showing it to him...my bad). There's a photo gallery of boys and their Geotrax sets so now he's pining for all sorts of additional trax and trains...as if this collection doesn't fill the room already. He's also obsessed with getting his photo on the Geotrax photo gallery..."where's me? where's me?"
So in case the Geotrax folks don't get him on the world wide web, I decided we better. I promised him that his picture with Geotrax would be on the computer tomorrow when he wakes up...

Holiday Happiness

"Where my Christmas tree go? Santa come back when?"
We aren't ready for the holidays to end...so here's a happy dance to keep them around just a little longer...
