Mom Jeans

As Lu and I were driving to karate he asks "Mom, why do you wear jeans everyday?"

Later on that night Alice said "You hair crazy, you need go like dis" (while she's miming smoothing ther hair down with her hands).

Oh, there's nothing like kids to boost your self-esteem!

Now it's off to the mall for some new clothes and the hairstylist for a much needed cut.

Besties

      After Tom put Alice to bed (it was his turn) she asked me for kissies. I finally have a kid that likes to hug and kiss! I love it! So I bent down to kiss her and she wrapped her little hands around my neck and said "hug too" and then out of nowhere she smiles and says "you my friend". Heart = melting. The girl can be the sweetest of sweets at times. She can also be the grumpiest of grumps.

KARATE!

Lucius has been doing martial arts classes for about the past 7 months. Recently he earned is advanced yellow belt. He's been doing great with it; however, he wasn't interested in pursuing it further. When I asked why he didn't want to do karate anymore he would come up with excuses like "It always gets in the way of other plans" (um, what other plans does he have?) and "I don't like how Coach Mark just keeps telling us what to do" (um, that's what coaches do). Tom and I decided to sign him up for one more year. ~Osu
