Could not be prouder of my little conservative-in-training

Sometimes in life, it is just a cheerio

I resorted to the old "airplane to the mouth" with cheerios today while sitting in the Dr's office to keep Bear entertained. I also started to make up new ones like, jet and submarine and helo and hot air balloon and got to make up all the cool sounds to go with. After I showed him all the sounds and how they went into his mouth, he wanted to do it himself and that was when the following conversation transpired between us:

Bear eats a cheerio: making the noise of an airplane

Me: "What was that?"

Bear: "Air-ane."

Next cheerio: Makes the noise of the jet

Me: "What was that one?"

Bear: "Jet."

Next cheerio: Makes the noise of the sub

Me: "Well what was that one?"

Bear: "dub."

Next cheerio: Makes the helo sound

Me: "What was that one?"

Bear: "hewo."

Next cheerio: silently puts it in his mouth

Me: "Well that's new, did you make that up yourself? What was that?"

Bear: stopped chewing to look at me very seriously-"cheerio."

After that we resumed the jet, airplane, submarine game. I guess that one cheerio was just a cheerio.

She bangs! She bangs!

Today I did the most daring thing I have ever done in my life. This shows how boring I really am, but it was scary for me to try something new.
I had my hair stylist cut me some bangs! I know I know, stop gasping, calm down.
I am so happy I had her do it. I have had the same hair style since I was born. Boring. That is what you could call my hair. Boring. Put it in a ponytail and call it a day boring. I am the type of person that will go to a resteraunt and order the same thing every time. I don't like trying new things. I don't like change. If I find something that works for me, why mess up a good thing right? But today was different. I felt brave, daring, like I could conquer the world(by getting bangs). Now I didn't get all crazy and have her color my hair. I am not that daring yet. Maybe one day, in a few years, when I have another Zena princess warrior day, I will have her put highlights in. Until then, I will just sit back and be proud of myself that I tried something different today!

Quite a striking pair if I do say so myself

Sooooo Handsome

Counting it as a biology lesson

Bear has been very curious about his appendage lately. He calls it his pee pee because that is where the "pee pee" comes from. I have tried out different names for him to call it but pee pee is the easliest for him to say so that is what we are sticking with. Mommy has a hoo hoo(or woo hoo as heather would call it!) and Bear has a pee pee.
Today I guess he wanted to know what Tela had. I walked out of the office to find Tela standing in the living room giving me a very dirty look because Bear was bending underneath her between her legs looking up. He realized I was now in the room and gave me a very quizical look and said, "the pee pee?" Like he was asking where is hers? I ran to the other room and bust out laughing. I love that he is so curious. Tela on the other hand does not appreciate it quite as much.

Do not call

31JAN07
Please do not call my house tonight after, say, 7:55pm(1955 for the military folk.) I will not answer my phone. Not that I really am so stinking popular that hords of people are calling my house after this time, but just in case you thought tonight would be a goood night to call and chat and "catch up on life," it's not. Tonight is the season premiere of LOST. I will be completely engrossed in my television unable to move from my spot on the couch unless the house catches on fire and I or my son or dog am in immediate danger of burning. If the fire is just in the kitchen or the bathroom, I have time and can probably wait until the next commercial break and then we will all safely escape and I will be coming to one of your houses to finish watching it.
So with all respect for any of my friends that just want to chat, I will be here all weekend. I might be on the phone with my dad discussing what we watched for hours on end like these are real live events and they really matter, but I promise to click over and let you know I will get back to you as soon as I have figured out what the heck is going on on that island!
Thanks!
