mooooo




We visited Deanna Rose with friends Saturday morning... Alex milked a "cow", got to ride the little tractors, played in the teepees, and fed the goats.

The most hilarious moment was when we exited the chicken house and Alex and Owen both ran around flapping their elbows and clucking like chickens!

A good time was had by all! :)

It's not the ring around the tub you should be afraid of...

Getting ready for bed this evening I glanced down only to see a dinosaur staring back up at me! This is what I get for letting Alex have bath time in my big tub... A T-rex overseeing my bedtime routine.

Alex plays with two dinos in the bath, rex here, and a velocoraptor that he's decided is actually a baby t-rex. It's a Daddy and Baby thing. They swim and dive and roar at each other. It's really very funny.

And I don't think that Alex placed the dino staring up at me on purpose... Though anymore, I can't put it past him. He gets much more than we assume, every now and then he slips up and we can see the depth that that little noggin contains! Today, it was a play on words while watching Phineas & Ferb. He laughed at the humor - we laughed in amazement that he got the joke!

It is so cool being Alex's Mommy!

Conversation with Alex

Sunday afternoon, after his nap, Alex struck up a conversation. It went a little something like this:

I Alex Nice.

Yes.

You Mommy Nice.

Yes.

I am a boy.

Yes.

You are a girl.

Yes. (he requires validation)

Alex Nice is a boy.

Yes.

Daddy Nice is a boy.

Yes.

Mommy Nice is not a boy, Mommy Nice is a girl.

Yes.

I am Alex Nice.

Yes.

You are Mommy Nice.

Yes.

I am Alexander Nice.

Yes.

You are Mommyxander Nice.

Um, no... (chuckling) I am Mommy Tracy Nice.

Oh...
