Good news, loyal followers! There is a Starbucks near Ridge's apartment (6-100) in California AND he has an apartment in Texas.

I, for one, am way more relaxed now about that big for sale sign in the yard.

Sawyer Sayings

Sawyer has so much funny stuff to say these days. Last night he was looking at a book. (He loves to "read" and will do it quietly and independently for minutes on end.) The book showed an illustration of baby Moses in a basket in the river. He brought it to me and said, "oh no mommmy! Help baby!" He may have a more kind heart than he lets on.

He also told me this morning, "I stirsty." I love that word. It's right there with Ridge's badeddi. They'll likely go to college saying these things because we never correct it.

6-100

There is a for sale sign in our yard! Ridge asked why and where would we go. He remembered tge whole selling thing and I explained the tricky fact that we have no place to go. He offered that we could stay at his apartment, 6-100. Its in California, he says. The good news is that it's by the beach. The bad news is, it's a long drive, "but that's OK because I have a black car with a DVD player."

Adventures in Potty Training

Round II is on....only one year after round I. The older bro is inspiring on this front, as is preschool.

This post gets kind of personal, so stop now if you're not OK with that.

Where Ridge feared the poo, Sawyer is super amused by it. Surprise, right? He is a proud pooper. He gets on the throne, grunts and pushes, smiles and laughs, and with each excretion wants to flip over and have a look at what he's created. Then he wants to flush it and do it all over again. This is messy and disgusting...but not as disgusting as cleaning poop out of the tub which was happening way too often. When the weather warms, we'll give undies and naked time in the backyard a whirl. Seems crazy early, but he's into it, so we'll strike while the iron's hot and see what comes of it.

Missing Daddy

Ridge: I really wish Daddy was home. (Tere is going to Chicago today.)
Me: Awe, that's nice! Why? Because he is fun?
Ridge: Yeah, and he burps a lot.

Jacket Off!

Sawyer is talking so much. I was charmed to pieces when he said to me tonight, "jacket off, mommy!" So I went to report to Tere Sawyer's budding and exciting vocabulary. As I was saying it, I realized how truly genius he is. Repeat, "jacket off mommy." Dear.

WHAT-A-BURGER

I think everyone who lives in TX is at least somewhat familiar with the slightly annoying (Or is he charming?) Whataburger voice. Tere taught the boys this little Stupid Baby Trick during the Chocolate Brownie Pie promotion. We are sad that the promotion is over, but its legacy lives on at the Hancock house.
