Stay cool this summer

A random tip offered at 6:30 am to a sleeping mother..."when I want to cool off my arm, I breath on it, but I use my nose breath not my mouth breath because it's hot."

Why boys toot

According to Ridge: "your teeth send stinky smells to your bottom and they can come out if there is too much."

Mama maintenance

Ridge cleaned up after himself tonight and has taken a turn for the ultra obedient so I complimented him on it and he says, "I'm being nice so you don't go coo coo because when you go coo coo, it freaks me out." He sensed my being at my wit's end on this, the 4th and final night of one of Tere's Seattle trips.

Here he is after his haircut today.

A Ridgely Bear on the loose at the Dallas Zoo

Guess who got lost during the kindergarten field trip yesterday? This guy...



He found a police officer (Or a police officer found him? I am not sure.) and got reconnected with the group within five minutes. I understand the chaperones were panicked. His teacher didn't know until later. I am rather glad I didn't know until it was resolved. Scary. Hopefully he learned a lesson...in a safe and familiar environment. He doesn't seem at all upset by it, only embarrassed that he got lost...he was aiming for the restroom but clearly got very off course.

Puzzler

This guy whips together a 60-piece puzzle in about five minutes.



He quotes a montage of movie lines as he goes. (With this puzzle it's mostly Cars lines.) It is very odd to observe...and of course super cute.

He also now refers to going #2 as "dropping off my dinner." (Always got to work in some potty humor. That's how we roll.)

My little old man

Me: "Did you find your lunchbox today?"
Ridge: "Sadly, no. I'm sorry mom."

"Sadly no?" What 6 yr old says that?
