Hellooooo?????? Anybody there????

So, yeah, almost a year since I've blogged. Facebook has essentially taken it's place. But I've noticed a couple of my friends using their blog a lot just to keep track of cute things their kids say, and since I've not been doing a very good job of writing that stuff down lately, it seems like the thing to do at the time, and maybe I'll end up posting more over time. So here we go with the things that have either cracked me up or just seemed memorable at the time:


*G. told us a couple weeks ago that he thought "Mommy should lay another baby". This is his current term for 'having a baby'. We went to a mini-concert type program at the library a couple weeks ago, and afterwards, the performer was holding his young son. G. asked him "Did you lay that baby?" The guy looked a little surprised, and said "You mean like a chicken?" I smiled and said "We don't exactly have all that straight yet." But he has continue to use that 'lay a baby' phrase, and it really cracks me up.

*We were riding in the car a couple days ago, and here was the conversation, after, for some reason, we'd talke about what 'being a fan' of something means.

G: I'm a fan of 3 things.
Me: You can be a fan of lots of things.
G: Well, I'm a fan of the Hawkeyes, and a fan of the Buckeyes....
Me: No, I'm sorry, you can't be a fan of the Buckeyes.

LOL. I backed down when he insisted, because really, what good reason do I have, but it made me laugh.

*A couple weeks ago the Hawkeyes were playing the Michigan Wolverines, in a night game, that looked like it was exceedingly fun. But anyway, at the beginning of the game, when coverage was starting, G., on his very own, started the "It's ANOTHER....BIG TEN....FOOTBALL....WEEKEND!!!" cheer. He really has been showing signs of being quite a little fan (in spite of the above-mentioned conversation). :)

Ok, that's all I can remember right now for some reason...more later. We'll see if anyone is 'out there'.
