Henry: Mommy, I'm a boy and you're a girl.
Me: You're right.
Henry: And some people are big and some people are small.
Me: You're right.
Henry: And we don't talk about how big people's bums are.
Me: You're right, honey.
Henry: Look at me, Mommy. Look at what I'm doing.
Me: (Looking at him doing nothing but looking back at me) What are you doing?
Henry: Look at me. I'm not saying "sucks."
Me: (Turning my face so he can't see me laughing. Speechless).
Henry: Mommy, I'm not saying "sucks" because it's rude and inappropriate.
(Did I mention how much I'm learning from my kids?)

I think Henry and Svea should write a book. Definitely. And illustrate it.
Casey - can't wait to see you!
Did you ever hear Eric Clapton's song, "Livin on Tulsa Time"? You would rewrite it, Livin on Toddler time. A sure hit.
I say "sucks" all the time! Does that mean I'm rude and inappropriate? And how the heck does he know the word "inappropriate"??? In the interest of full disclosure, I once told Arwyn that her attitude sucked. Awesome parenting moment.
