baby red

"i want you to call me baby red", he tells me while we are reading a story about animal babies, snuggled on the couch, sharing quesadillas. "you could say baby blue, baby orange or lots of things, but i like baby red or max." ok. baby red it shall be. gosh, i love. this. kid.

fresh from the yarn garden

i was photographing these for their new owner.

these are for the yoda craft swap, remember?

and my littlest son comes into the room,

jumps on the bed

and says to me,

"mama, i think you won the yoda,

these are such pretty flowers.

and he's going to be mine."

go figure!

the little boy hat

"i wanted a blue and camo one."

"it's itchy."

"can i take it off now?"

i guess we need to work on a spirit of gratitude.

well said

me: "why is it that you never want to sit with me unless i am sitting at the computer?"

him: "well, sometimes i am really busy. and sometimes the kids need me. and because your pants are so soft."
