I have officially become that person. The person that rates experiences in her life as whether or not they are "bloggable." Truly, I am very in the moment, but then afterward, I think... hmmm... I should totally put that on the blog! It's a shame, really, that I am counting on my children to do and say funny things to compensate for recent my lack of wittiness. The good news is... it paid off!*warning - religious subtext in story*I was driving all four children to Toys 'R Us to pick out a birthday party about 1 hour before said party was scheduled to begin. I had already given the laundry list of demands: you must stay with me. we are buying something for M (birthday girl) and nothing else. do not ask if I will buy you something. you can look at other things as long as I can see you and you can see me. don't whine, cry, scream or throw a fit.Out of the clear blue sky, Isabella says: "Jesus watches over little Jeremy." (our next door neighbor who is 6 months older than Bella and about the same size)I laughed to myself. I didn't really have a good response. She continued: "but, he is still really mean to me because yesterday he was throwing the ball at my head when I asked him not to."
I thought a moment, and couldn't resist the opportunity to point out the irony. I said, "Isn't it strange that some people talk about Jesus, but then they don't do the kinds of nice things that Jesus did?"
Maddie had been listening and piped in. "I know why, Mom."
Kat: "Why, Maddie?"
Maddie: "Well, Jesus did so many nice things and people killed him. So maybe little Jeremy does mean things so that people won't want to kill him."
So, I have to blog something about a kid that is not mine. Well, he is my soon-to-be nephew, so I hope that gives me some kind of rights to stories of his cleverness. I hope this isn't plagiarism...The subject: Logan. (My brother Kevin's fiance Jody's son. Seriously.) He's got this "business man in a 4 year-old's body" thing going on. He and Isabella get on famously. Jody and Logan recently moved in with Kevin in his place in Columbus. Kevin is now privy to the antics that before this, he could only hear about. Apparently they are having some trouble convincing him that wearing shoes is entirely necessary. He insists that if he puts on shoes and socks, his feet won't be able to see. Eventually, they insist and put the shoes on for him. Then, Logan proceeds to shuffle around the room, running his toes into walls because, obviously, his feet can't SEE! My brother Kevin, in his infinite wisdom and patience gives Logan a long explanation and justification that includes some superhero powers and something about his feet having x-ray vision. Logan is entirely unimpressed with this explanation and continues to run his feet into the wall.
I have no good excuses for my long absence from the blog world. As each day passed, the many things I wanted to blog about and pictures I wanted to post piled up. So, I set my goal this week to put up one or two shots a week of Jackson, and then fill in the anecdotes of the other kids after that. So, keep checking for updates, and don't forget to look back as far as the middle of August (when I last really made a regular post!) And to tide you over for current photos - here's one from today...
