Lady's Legs

My parents just visited us. There were many fun moments and comments, but one in particular from Jack seemed bloggable. We were sitting in the playroom and out of the blue Jack said 'Mom, why does Grandad have lady's legs?'

My dad has very fair skin and hair so it almost appears that he has no hair on his legs. This was somewhat concerning to Jack and he wanted to get the answer. We all laughed and then thought that Jack may have to get used to having lady's legs too if his hair stays as blond as it is currently.

Yeah Charles!

Yesterday we had the privilege of watching Charles receive his degree from Cambridge. It was a very fun day. My parents were able to time their yearly trip to include the festivities and we were extremely grateful to our good friends who were willing to watch Jack and Theo for the day. After many hard years, it is official.

Nearing the end of Charles's PhD I presented him with a shirt that said 'Gitter Dun' referring to the idea that he just need to work hard and get the PhD done. Well, yesterday I had a new shirt made that said 'Gotter Dun'. Well DUN Charles! We are all very proud of you.

Wait until you finish eating

Charles is away on a conference so some of our neighbours invited me and the boys around for dinner. Jack was a non-stop talking machine during dinner - talk about nightly entertainment, whether we wanted it or not. Repeatedly I had to tell him to wait until he was done chewing/eating to talk. Then when he was done completely with dinner he announced, 'I'm done. Now I don't have to wait to talk'. I think his desire to talk may have been the impetus for being done. I am sure my parents think this sounds exactly like his mother 28 years ago.

Best thing about holiday

We went on holiday last week. We had a great time staying at some friend's house. After arriving back home, Jack has been asked my multiple people what his favourite thing on holiday was which he quickly answers by saying 'Watching lots of television!'.

Should this concern us as parents?

Sharing through the eyes of a three-year-old Vol II

A quote from Jack while I was voluntarily sharing MY dessert with him:

I want the turns to go Me, Mommy, Jack, Me, Mommy, Jack.
