We're Still Around...

...believe it or not!

It feels like ages since I’ve posted a blog, and to be honest, it has! Hopefully I still have a few readers out there!!

Anyway, just a few tidbits about our lives -

Alexis is a horrible nail-biter. We’ve been working on it, and it’s slow going. The other day she comes running in barefoot saying, "Look mommy! My nail on my toe is growing because I didn’t bite it!" Go Alexis!

Yesterday at pick up time, Tyrus’ teacher stuck her head in my van and said to me: "You know my husband and I have a little girl. But last night, I was thinking about if I ever had a little boy which one of my students I would most like him to be like... and your Tyrus was the first one I thought of! I’d love it if some day I could have a little boy like him." What do you say to that?!

Carsten is almost weaned. I’m happy about this because after 4.5 years of nursing so far in my life, I’m feeling done. He’s mostly only nursing before bed and early in the morning - during the day we’re done for the most part - so it’s not more to cut out. On the other hand, I’m a bit sad because he’s my last and it’s something I’ll never experience again...

Alexis’ new phrase is "duh, what was I thinking?" when she does something wrong or can’t figure out what she’s doing. It’s cute.

Tyrus said to me the other night, "Mom, is there such a thing as the year 2000 and 100? I said, "no, that would be the year 3000." The he says, "oh." A minute later he says, "If I’m still alive in 3000, I’ll be 98." Where does he come up with these things?!? Subtracting 2002 (the year of his birth) from that year!!

ETA -( Although, now that I re-read that, I realize that I told him the wrong thing. It actually would be the year 2100, not 3000. See, I told you I’m not a math brain!!! )
