We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
Sasa is what Simon calls himself. We got a kick out of it at first because in Hawaii, “sasa” means beating. As in, “If you do that one more time I’m going to take you behind the shed and give you a sasa.” But after a while it got kind of old. I’ve been working with him on actually saying his name.
“Can you say ‘Si’?”
“Si.”
“Can you say ‘Mon’?”
“Mon.”
“Can you say Si-mon.”
“Si-mon.”
“Good. Simon.”
“Si-mon. Sasun. Sasa!” (peals of laughter)
It’s nice to know he can say it. It’s also nice to know how he arrives at his final destination.
man he is cute. that first picture belongs in a magazine.
too funny lizzie!! i LOOOVE the whole “behind the shed” stuff. u crack me up.
So funny. I remember my mom telling me stories about my sister and I insisting on calling our special blankets “bankie” even though we obviously knew how to say it properly. Kid humor, I guess!
That boy is just TOO CUTE!
