Riding home this evening with the kids in the backseat, I was playing the iPod. The Faint - The Geeks Were Right comes on. Daedalus "I LOVE this song! I love it more than gummy worms!" He then proceeds..."Really? What is my hippie music" Him "Oh, everything that makes me go BLAAAAHHHH! Eamon doesn't like it, and neither do I. He is right, and you are wrong mom. The Geeks song is good music. I know this.
Putting Daedalus to bed tonight, his story was about this boy that got dinosaurs with everything one day. Very cute story, he got a haircut, and instead of a balloon, the barber gave him a dinosaur. He...when the dinosaurs lived, and really, Noah didn't kill the dinosaurs with a gun. This is why god parents are awesome. They tell your kids things that they believe forever, that make great stories
when teaching little daedamuffins their letter combinations don't always let them choose the letters themselves. It's a fun enough game for the refrigerator, but be wary. Teaching "uck" sounds for instance. D + uck = Duck (that's right!) Y + uck = Yuck ( that's good! yucky!) Tr + uck = Truck ( Truck! very good) F + uck = #$%! (right! it's my turn to pick the letters now)
Eamon has the Dr Horriblesoundtrack on the iPod touch, and he plays it in the car all the time. He and I sing along, of course, and get all into it, all Musical Theater about it. Daedalusism : I am working on something for Van on the computer. Daedalus is in his room, playing with Transformers. I hear the sound of his sweet little voice wafting into the living room "And crashing to the ground! I...
...he is thrilled to pieces about. That is what the kids are up to. Van is taking back the rodent to school this week, she is going to miss her. I just can't believe summer is almost over already! Daedalusism : At his Godfather's house, he had a circus peanut. He chewed it, and made the most odd little face ever, as if he had absolutely no idea what to make of the thing in his mouth at all. We...
...on them. She doesn't get upset. She doesn't freak out. She just works through them. And she got them all right, on the first try! Every single one! I am so proud of her!! She is so proud of herself. Daedalusism : He crawls into bed with me this morning, Eamon is already gone for work. He says 'Mommie, where is Eamon? He needs cuddles too". I tell him Eamon is at work already. He says "Oh. That sucks...
...!!!!! This is the second confirmed word that he can 'read'. The other one is exit, and I think he recognizes it more than he reads it. I am so proud of him! He'll be a reader in no time. I'm so excited! Daedalusism : 'Mom I want to have a WHOLE DAY of fun! When can we have a whole day of just fun?' What the kids are up to : We all went puddle jumping and played in the rain the other day. The kids had...
Daedalusism : I am looking at photographs of cupcakes online. He climbs into my lap and starts singing silly songs about cupcakes. Such as : 'Myyyy cupcake brings all the girls to the yard! And I like girls and they like cupcakes!' I turn off music after we had it on for most of the day. Daedalus had been in his room playing when I turned it off. He comes out and very very politely and seriously...
Daedalus has been sent to his room....and after calming down comes to sit on the bed and immediately says, "Mom i have to tell you something." We ask if he is done crying and fussing first and for the...with his opposite palm at every syllable. "it's an unconscionable restrolbility"(sic). So, fighting through the smirking... we asking, "What does that mean, buddy?" "It means it's a bad idea.
Daedalusism : He is opening a package of crackers. He says 'Another Famous Daedalus Opening!' and I say 'Wow! It's famous! Awesome!' he says 'well, no, but I did open it!'. He is in the bath. I am about to wash him and get him out, I tell him I am going to go get his towel (which I forgot). I get back and he says 'Mom, don't look at me ok?' and I say 'Why don't you want me to look at you Buddy'...
