Random Tuesday Thoughts

We’ve begun calling Bug Shadow because he’s with me everywhere I go. I tripped over him the other day because I didn’t realize he was SO close behind me when I turned around. Sigh... (I know, I'll long for these days when he's a teen and doesn't want me on the same planet, right?)

Now that he’s almost potty trained, he tells me he needs privacy in the bathroom. I use the same line when he follows me into the bathroom but it usually doesn’t work. Instead he thinks hiding behind the towel rack is enough privacy for me. I can’t wait for the day when I can pee without a play-by-play commentary from my bath towel.

This morning our neighbor gave our sons a ride to camp. This is the email I received later: Driving the boys to camp, J says:" Let's listen to Thomas the Tank." Bug says: "Let's listen to Bruce." That’s my boy!
****
My nighttime snack of choice these days: wine and M&Ms…a lovely combination!

Beg begged to go to church with me (see Shadow section above...) so prior to going we had a big conversation about being quiet. We sat in the back and he was fine until he announced in the stagiest stage whisper of all that he had to go potty. I didn’t know if there was a bathroom available so I quietly told him he was wearing a pull-up and it was okay to just pee. Then…a bit louder he demanded announced: “I want to put on underwear NOW.” I quickly found the occupied bathroom (sigh) and stayed in the back of the church for the duration while Bug played with his cars. When we left church, Bug told me he didn’t want to go to church with me again.

I’d really like a donut right now.
Go to The Un Mom for more.

  5. Hi- visiting from Un Mom. Bug in church is adorable.

    I bid privacy farewell a long time ago, but...I've taken to locking the door so my little guy can't join me.

  7. The church story is why I'm ever so thankful that our church has a nursery and a separate children's service! ;-)

  8. I have to tell you that my very cool, VERY teenaged (17) son is still my shadow sometimes.
    If he's not with friends, working, or with his girlfriend of course, he goes with me even if it's just to the grocery store or Walmart, and once we're there he doesn't even leave my side!
    It's so weird.
    And I love it!

  9. CUTE! lol! Once a kid was acting up in church and his mom carried him out of church under her arm. He yelled the whole way back to the cry-room, Don't spank me Mom!!

  10. He asked for Bruce without prompting, fantastic!

    That's hilarious that standing behind a towel is his fix-it for privacy. :)
