From Monsters vs Aliens to Boys vs Girls

Lucian is starting to make observations about boys vs girls.

L: "Mommy, do you have a penis?"

Me: "No, I don't have a penis."

L: "What!? You mean you just have a butt?!!"

And then, the Kindergarten Cop movie script presented itself.

Ahhh the new challenges of parenting a preschooler: where anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of preschool.

I can just hear it now in the morning potty routine: "I pee with my penis but my mommy has a Volvo."

Babies come from hospitals, right?

Happy 4th Birthday to The Boy of My Dreams!

Dear Lucian,
You are the little boy of my dreams. I'm so blessed and lucky to be your Mommy. My life is so much better and I'm a happier, stronger, and more patient person since you were born. When I found out you were growing inside me, it was a dream come true. It wasn't easy getting you here. Feeding you and caring for you was a tough challenge, but I learned a lot from you even though you are a small child.

Your Daddy and I love you so much, we made another little boy to share with you. You are the one that made us a family. I thank God each day for you, my special gift.

Happy 4th Birthday!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy & Keagan

May all your wishes come true!

My Funny Valentines

I was just looking through my iPhoto library and showing my Dad some photos of the kids. I snapped this one of Keagan just a few weeks ago so he is around 6 months old.

The photo below it is of Lucian when he is about 5 months old.

We make some goofy kids.
Above is Keagan's "Make my day, Punk!" photo.

This is Lucian's "Who farted?!" photo.
See the resemblance?
