A weekend well enjoyed

A sure sign of a preschooler's weekend being well enjoyed is falling asleep mid-Star Wars book reading.

Laundry help

As we ask the kids to help more around the house, I realize that I have to let go of some of my control needs. Dashiell was in charge of washcloths this week which resulted in a giant, precariously balances pile of washcloths (mixed with a few rags) in my bathroom, and no washcloths in any other bathroom.  Baby steps. At least they are doing the laundry!

Sally

Max continues to use language in adorable and unexpected ways.  Like when he asked me if we could take an Easter sally. I was terribly confused until he turned my phone over and showed me a selfie pose. Selfie, sally, sure.

Max-isms

Oh, where does the time go??  So many things have happened that deserve recording!

One of the best parts of my day is picking Max up at school and hearing from his teachers what hilarious things he has done during the day.  He is clearly well-loved by his teachers for his expressive (and excessive) language abilities.

1.  The Sausage

One day at school, Max and his friend Henry were playing diner on the playground.  They invited Teacher Lisa to eat at their diner where they were serving chocolate pancakes, sausage, and bacon.  Teacher Lisa told them that she is a vegetarian and asked if they had any vegetarian sausage.  Max and Henry did a little "cooking" and then presented Teacher Lisa with her "plate" of food.

Max said "Here you go, Teacher Lisa!  Pancakes and Unitarian sausage!"

2.  The Masterpiece

Teacher Jesa was reading a book to the class about colors and the last page described a masterpiece.  She asked the class if they knew what a masterpiece was.  Max raised his hand (Max ALWAYS raises his hand) and said "Yes!  A masterpiece is a great big magnificent piece of artery!"
