I guess it’s true what they say – give someone a computer and show them how to blog and everyone becomes a writer. But enough about me – let’s talk about my brother. He’s a “professional” stay at home dad who, among his multitude of talents, has recently decided to share his wisdom via his blog stayathomedad101.blogspot.com
He may be my older and much funnier brother, but I still have him in the good looks category.
Ok, quick quiz for those who think they may be good at interpreting the linguistics of a 2 yr. old.
This morning, Wesley requested a tortillla (“tort”) and wanted us to put “co-co-pa” on his tortilla. Here’s the audio of him saying co-co-pa. The question is this – what is Wesley requesting?
a. Cocoa powder
b. Sugar
c. Nutella (chocolate spread)
d. A $14.3 Billion loan from the US Government to insure liquidity
e. Cocoa Puffs
If you answered “b” – you’re right! Plus you have the linguistic leanings of a toddler. Our only thought is that sugar is “cookie powder” (maybe?). But when Krystal went down the baking aisle today, he shouted “co-co-pa” and ran and pointed at the sugar, so we’re sticking with sugar. (Incidently, he does also call sugar “shuug“)
Krystal’s Uncle Robert, who lives in suburban Baltimore, has a tradition of letting us know when they get snow up their way – inviting us to come and build a snowman and to shovel out his driveway. One of these days we’ll actually take him up on it, but not this week. In a freak chance storm this past week, Houston received (in some places) almost 2 inches of snow! The pictures was crazy! Sadly, we didn’t get any snow out our way, so we’re still waiting for our Snow Alert call from Baltimore. Hopefully it won’t come around Jan 20th – not sure we want to be in the craziness that will be the greater DC area for the inauguration.
Kayla was honored today at school as “Aussie Author of the Month” for November. She got to read her story on the morning announcements before the whole school. As you can imagine, we are very proud. She’s a very imaginative girl and a great writer! (Hit the box to the right of the volume indicator (speaker) to view in full screen mode)
