Hot Wheels, part II

Cake is in the oven.

Aaron opened the oven.

Aaron inserted nail clippers.

Thumped him, removed clippers.

Came back in my room,

he opened it again.

He put in a hotwheels car and

melted the tires.

He managed to not burn himself.

I had to pry the car off the botom of the oven with tongs.

HOT wheels, get it?

 

dream dream dream

I had a dream I was in a musical version of Pride and Prejudice on roller skates and my coach was Richard Dreyfuss.

I think I was Mrs. Bennett, but I don't know for sure. I just remember my knees hurting. (which they do in real life right now-thanks to this Mastitis infection of death) It was a performance and a competition and the opposing team kept putting like, 6 or 8 different kinds of salt on the skating surface.  This fascinated my coach, Richard Dreyfuss, who was surprisingly gullible in real (dream) life.  I kept sweeping it up with my scrub brush, hoping no one would notice what I was doing.  Then i was at County Market (grocery chain in Champaign) and I bought some stuff. It was just regular food

but I felt so guilty so I returned it all with the excuse that I would come back and buy it next week when I had some cash.  They felt so bad.  Then Aaron tried to escape so I had to go catch him. When I got back, my shopping cart was full of even more food which the store had given me but I didn't figure that out so I was walking around the store asking people if it was theirs.  Oddly enough, some people said that it was theirs, so I gave all the food away. But I had really wanted a steak sandwich. In my dream a steak sandwich is not what it is in real life; it is a sandwich with steaks as the bread in addition to a tasty meat filling, and I think some avocados. Sounds good, right? I wouldn't know, I didn't ever get one.

also, once I convinced my mom that Julia Louie-Dreyfus was married to Richard. She believed me. It was funny.

He can only take so much

Austen is a great big brother. He will do anything for his new baby. He feeds him, changes him, "reads" to him, sings, dances, anything that needs to be done. There is one thing he can't handle as evidenced by this comment he made today:

"Mom! Peter barped on me. You take care of it. He's your baby."

Aaron likes his hotwheels HOT

Our toaster is in a cupboard accessible to Aaron. It can't be child-proofed.

The toaster is irresistible to him.

He sneaks it out every day and puts pieces of paper and hotwheels cars in it.

Conversation Between Daddy and His Henry

Daddy: "What is this" (they were coloring together)
Henry: "Um... um, I'll put a gun on it!"
Daddy: "But what is it?"
Henry: "I'll draw squares on it. There's a square, there's a square. I drew a square, so look at it!"

Aspirations of a 5-month-old

I caught Austen consoling his baby brother, Peter, today with this: "Don't worry, you'll be a superhero someday"

name change

Austen asked me if he could change his name to Spiderman. I said yes. He asked if he could tell his friends to call him Spiderman. I said yes. I am now asking all of you to call him Spiderman, per his request, and would appreciate if you did so in the future. Thank you.
