awesome like that

me: thank you for sharing. that was very sweet of you.
the kid: yeah, I'm awesome like that.

football superheroes

the kid is watching football with his daddy and is beyond excited... apparently it's Green Goblins (Green Bay) vs Black Spidermans (Chicago), and they're having quite the battle.

great guy

the kid to his daddy: Allen, you're a great guy.
and then to me: mommy, you're a great guy, too.

and the bug's name is...

the kid, feeling sorry for the bug in Wall-E because it has no name, has decided to share his name with the bug. so, for all of you who were wondering, the bug's name is Matthew.

true love

Now I KNOW the kid loves me... he gave me a bite of his chicken nugget.

owie!

the kid, pointing to a very small (almost healed) scratch on my arm: mommy, you need a baindaid.
me: no, it's okay.
the kid: but it hurts really really bad and you need a bandaid to make it feel better. 
me: oh. I didn't know it hurts.
the kid: you're lucky to have me so I could tell you... daddy, please get mommy a spiderman bandaid for her owie.

trumped again

I find it amusing that my declaration of "when Daddy gets home, you're all his. I get the night off" was answered with the kid falling asleep in the car on the way home and sleeping through the night.

making my head spin

mommy, this show is making my head spin. can I play my Spiderman game? it won't make my head spin, and then I can stop whining. please?

rest time

mommy, I had a bad dream about resting. so maybe I shouldn't have rest time today.

sickies and yuckies

I am never more certain that I have turned into my mother than when my child is sick.

the kid: mommy, I don't want to go night night. it will make my sickies have more yuckies. can you just hold me and we can watch Spiderman? please? (pout, bat eyelashes)
