…when you call the school nurse to tell her your son will be absent and she recognizes your number from the caller id?

ZACH (age 4): “When I grow up and help Mikayla make my baby, stuff will come out of my penis.”

Must hide It’s So Amazing. (Dylan has been reading it to him.)

**SIDENOTE: He plans to marry Mikayla when they grow up.

Scene: Dylan and I filling out a mad-lib type thing in the back of his National Geographic Kids magazine.

ME: Body part

DYLAN: Uterus.

ME: Uterus?

DYLAN: Uterus.

ME: No, one of your body parts.

DYLAN: I don’t have a uterus, you do. Can I say *whispers* penis?

ME: No, no private parts. Unless you are a grown-up – as private parts make it so much funnier.

After far, far too many minutes…

ME: Well? Body part? arm? leg?

DYLAN: Teeth.

**SIDENOTE: Thanks Uncle Mike. He loves the magazine.

A while back I promised a picture of Zach’s pink cheeks when he went out to play in the first snow…

• see him

This picture does NOT do him or his cheeks justice.

• hide him

The Halloween picture I promised… (Not even a month late – not bad. Unless you were planning on getting me a digital camera. In that case, way, way too long to wait to see my adorable kids!)
