For reals

I just had this conversation with Brian:

Phuong : You know, i do not like taking the iPad out with me because then I worry about whether or not I have it in my purse and not in my car and then I worry if my purse is still on my shoulder and not stolen....

Brian: are you ok?

Phuong: I am just fine. Why?

Brian : well you were saying that your purse was digging in your shoulder so I was just wondering.

Phuong : * looking a bit exasperated and laughing to myself because he really was trying his best.*

Brian : dang....

Oh well. At least he was concerned about me....

Dentist et al

Today, Michael went to the dentist and did a great job! He did not freak out for his teeth cleaning, (like he did last time) and he got all of X-rays done with no problem! Even I have trouble with those bite wing ones!

Luckily the dentist said everything looks fine. Considering Michael only has about 8-10 teeth that are not capped or fake, I should hope so. Poor guy. We definitely are more vigilant about his teeth than we ever were!

In the car, he said to me: "mommy! I am so proud of myself!"

Today, he had this conversation with me:

Michael: Mommy, I really like baby birds. Do you like baby birds?

Me: yes Michael. I do.

Michael: I really like baby birds. They are so cute.

Me: they are!

Michael: I do not like mommy and daddy birds because they peck people and baby birds don't do that.

Me: huh....

Michael: they peck people because they think their hands are food, baby birds don't peck people.

The end. Good talk.

While we were having lunch, Michael says to me, "mommy, 6 plus 3 plus 1 equals 10."

Ok then! Michael has never been terribly gifted verbally, but math is something he gets. Wonder if he got that from us... :) I did not know he had started to be able to add multiple numbers sequentially yet!

That is it for today.
