This week in Sawyer

First, he hid Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because, he said, once we figured it out after searching for it for two nights, "mom was reading to Ridge too much!" We were lecturing about honesty and jealousy through the giggles.

Just now, we asked what his class talked about in Sunday school today an he said, "this guy. John the Baptist. He ate bugs and honey and stuff. Gross huh?" That is all. That's what the lesson was about.

Last night we had a mommy/daddy and Sawyer date while Ridge was at a sleepover. Nice treat for him to get all our attention!

Keepin it real

As I was putting the boys to bed tonight, we talked about how much fun we're having on vacation and I said, "wouldn't it be great if we could do this all the time?" Ridge said, "well, no, because we would miss tests and fall behind in school!"

We had a really sweet memorable day just the three of us!

After the jellyfish sting

First nap in as long as I can remember!

People Pleaser?

A sign that Sawyer might be a people pleaser...after getting stung by a jellyfish he asks "do you think the jellyfish don't like me?!?" He really believes he has some control over the ocean...waves, marine life and all. (All that Jedi/ninja living he does.) Getting stung stung not only his leg but his pride.

Having a ball!

Summer Days

These hot and shirtless days of summer are excellent for perfecting the art of armpit farting and trying to teach it to your little brother. I continue to suggest (in vein) that Ridge (who is an amazingly strong reader) teach Sawyer (who can't identify the word "I," bless and love him) to read. But armpit fart noises win out every time.



I'm laughing right along with them. Can't say I mind at all. But I can still wish there was some reading track in Ridge's mentorship.
