Gramp's new wife

We were talking to Dominic about where he would live when he grew up. He told us that he wanted us to live with him when he was all grown up.
"But Dominic, you will have a wife and maybe you won't want us to live with you."
"Yes, I will. I'm going to marry Grammy and she won't mind if you live with us."
"But Gramps is married to Grammy."
"Well Gramps can just get another wife, because I'm going to have Grammy. And we're all going to live together."
Sorry Gramps! =)

Gravity

Yesterday the weather was beautiful and Dominic was out "mowing" the lawn with his little push mower. Caitlin was inside taking a nap and I kept peaking out to check on Dominic. When I poked my head out the window to tell him it was quiet time he told me he was having problems with his lawn mower not working. "Mom, gravity is sticking." Guess the lawn mower kept getting stuck in the grass.

Warning: N* Ahead!

We went with some friends to the aquarium and beach today. The weather was in the 70s and it felt wonderful. When we first walked into the aquarium there is a giant waterfall. It's pretty loud and Caitlin freaked out. She was trembling and wouldn't let me put her down for quite a while after wards. It's a bit dark in the aquarium and so between Caitlin and the lighting I didn't get very many pictures.Caitlin looks like a diva!Look at that precious little girl.The boys were "posing" for Jill. So I ran over and got a few pictures as well.Caitlin stealing Mikayla and Andrea's food."We're just going to look." I had brought a change of clothes, just in case. But had no intention of letting Dominic do more than get his feet wet.Then the pants get rolled up.Ahhhhhh! The water is freezing!Oops! Now my pants are wet.Then Dominic fell on his bum and apparently while I was taking pictures of other things the pants. . .. . .and then the underwear came off. But he's trying very hard to keep the shirt dry.Then he fell face first and the shirt came off.By the way, this water is so cold that Dominic's skin was beet red. It took my breath away just putting my feet in. He played in the water for at least 30 minutes. This is the child that won't let me come in the bathroom when he's going potty, but had no problem swimming naked in the ocean with a bunch of people watching. =)Caitlin and I with our toes in the sand.
*Certain words must be removed because of the disgusting people searching the internet for these words.

It fits, Mom!

Dominic was in my room having quiet time. When it ended he called for me to come into the bedroom so he could show me something.Caitlin is walking a lot better now. She is still very hesitant when walking, but will climb onto anything with no fear of falling. Which is very strange to me since she's fallen quite a few times and it's always more of a fall than if she was walking. But at least she's making the attempt now.

Caitlin is always getting food in her hair since it's so long. We didn't have time to give her a bath after lunch so I put her hair up. I think it looks so grown up and precious.

Bug in a rug

I came into the kitchen and saw this bump in my rug and Caitlin was giggling.Dominic has so much fun being "buried" and Caitlin is entertained just watching him.

New suit

Jon got a new suit and I asked him to let me take a picture. Dominic had to be included, of course.Dominic and Jon were making faces at me. After I finished taking pictures Dominic said "I'm stupid." He meant he felt silly. He had heard the word stupid a few days before and I'd told him it meant silly.

Silly stuff

Life has been a bit crazy around here since we got back from our ski trip. I have a ton of pictures and stuff to blog about. So I thought I'd start with all of the cute and silly things Dominic has been talking about.

"Do you know why my foot is rubbing your foot? It's because it loves you, cause I really, really love you, Mom."
I told him that was called playing footsie. A few days later we were at a friend's house and Dominic was sitting across from the little girl. They were both giggling and when I asked what was so funny. "We are playing footsie."

Dominic was out in the yard running around and making the funniest motions. His explanation for what he was doing -
"My shadow and I are playing handball." Looking around - "Where is he? Where did he go? Oh, there he is." And playing resumed.

Early one morning before I was completely awake, Dominic came running up to me and said "I'm going to enjoy all today has to offer." Then he laughed and ran off.

"Mom, please don't rerupt me when I'm talking."

Jon and I were talking about some deadlines and Dominic asked us why we were talking about dead lions.

"Mom, have you been married for 50 years?"
"No, Dominic, I've been married for 13 years."
Sigh! "Oh! I wanted to give you a golden anniversary party." He was so disappointed. =)
