2.) This post on BooMama's blog is just precious: http://boomama.net/2010/06/30/sometimes-i-understand-the-animals/ although with so many animal posts lately, I'm scared that I'm giving off a weird granola-eating, tree-hugger, peta-loving-paint-throwing kind of a vibe. Is that true?
3.) I read this great quote today and I'm loving it; it's the epitome of how I feel every single day. "Having a child is like pouring Miracle-Grow on your character defects." -Anne Lamott
4.) These are the runts' happy meal toys from lunch the other day. It's basically a plain plastic cow statue that you decorate with tiny stickers. The best part was watching how deep they got into their creative processes. Wyatt was on the verge of drooling. I fell in love with their masterpieces too and how typical they were of their respective 'arteests'. It's uncanny how much they remind me of me and my brother when we were little! (Left: Wyatt, Right: Callie)
5.) A few years ago, I walked into my local Bank of America and all the signs were in Spanish. There wasn't a drop of English around and I was lost on where the frik I was supposed to stand. I was so political-incorrectly upset that I later withdrew all my money and closed my account. Bank of America my ass.
Unfairly, I shunned all Spanish Romanticism and ranked Dora at the top. She was my arch nemesis. A few weeks ago, at the mercy of two very persistent three year olds, I caved and let the runts watch her. Unexpectedly, Dora blessed me with 30 minutes of heavenly silence and in fact, the show was pretty educational and sweet. About a week later, Callie was walking around the house able to count to five in Spanish! Wyatt, on the other hand... not so much.

Man, I miss Chick-Fil-A!!! My kids discovered Dora recently too. Zoe has a small Dora doll one of her teachers gave her and she has been carrying her around non-stop for almost two weeks! Aidan has started pretending he is Swiper too when he swipes a toy from Zoe. Ha!
