The Rotten Egg!

Ever heard the saying, "The last one...is the rotten egg!"?  We use that saying all the time. Last one in the bathtub is the rotten egg. Last one to the car is a rotten egg. Every time we say it, we laugh because the boys like being the rotten egg! They haven't quite figured out that being a rotten egg is not necessarily a good thing. Although the saying still works (because it makes them move faster), they fight over being the rotten egg!

Tonight, I said, "Last one in the tub is a rotten egg!" Sage had to go potty and didn't want Kai to get in first.  So, Sage pushes Kai out of the way and says, "I'M THE ROTTEN EGG!" Kai says, "No, I the rotten egg!"  Too funny!

Pillow Talk

Over the last few weeks, Kai and I have developed a new routine before he goes to bed...pillow talk. After we put him to bed, he will call me back to his room with a, "Momma!"  When I get there, he asks me some seemingly random question like, "Why is it dark?"  When I answer that, he follows it with other questions such as: Why does the sun go down? Where does the sun go? Why does the Earth turn?  On and on and on and before I know it, we are having a deep conversation about the ways of the world. I just have to laugh because it seems strange for him to be asking such big questions before he goes to sleep!

Bookworm!

Sage is up way past his bedtime. When I just reminded him that he needs to go to sleep, he said, "But, I've got one more book to read Momma." How can I say no to that?

What's today's adventure?

Since I managed to finagle a few weeks off this summer, the boys and I have been enjoying a summer of adventure.  Everyday, the boys ask, "What's today's adventure?" in their cute little 2 and 3 year-old voices.  Unfortunately, this has officially been the hottest summer ever in St. Louis!  So, we've been stuck mostly indoors.
