Mother's Work

Legend is a mess after enjoying an ice cream cone at the park with Mommy and Daddy.
Daddy begins the work of wiping him clean.

Legend - "Hey. Daddy. You wipe Legend with cloth just like... just like a mommy."

Helmet

Legend watches a Sesame Street episode that teaches about bikes and helmets. Legend thinks the helmet muppet is hilarious.

After the show Legend sneaks up on his oblivious father who is checking something out on his phone, lying on the couch.

Legend gets a sneaky little gleam in his eye just before pouncing on his daddy's head.

Daddy wrestles to get the crazy boy off his head, but Legend is both wiry and determined.

Daddy - "Legend! What are you doing?!"
Legend - "I'm HELMET!"

Anatomy

We are having craft time with foam red monkeys. Legend has glued his monkey to a piece of paper, glued two eyes on its face, and demanded I draw a smile on it.

He is putting a gob of glue on its lower belly as a finishing touch.
Legend - "Monkey's wee wee."
Me - "That's his wee wee? Maybe it is his belly button?"
Legend - "No! BIG WEE WEE!"

I guess he has all the most important parts of anatomy covered: face and genitals. Beautiful.

Honey

We have recently been learning all about bugs. Today, we are learning about bees, wasps, and hornets.

After watching a short video of honeybees in a hive, discussing how bees make honey, tasting a bit of honey, and reading books about honeybees, I feel the kids are ready for a little quiz to see what they have learned.

Me - "What do honeybees use to make their honey?"
Cash - "Canned tuna."

Hungry

Roisin is joining us for dinner. She is sitting at the table, somewhat impatiently, apparently starving. This tiny, skinny, little girl can pack away a surprising amount of food and is always hungry.

Cody puts a plate of steaks in the middls of the table. Roisin's and Legend's plates of food are cooling in the fridge.

Roisin grasps the edge of the plate of stacked meat with her teeny little finger and pulls the whole plate toward herself.
"That mine?"

Man

Roisin, Kayla, Legend and I are dancing in the kitchen. The song playing is a nice light, soft song, and we are pretending to be butterflies as we dance.

Kayla - "Now we dance princesses!"
Roisin - "Princess dance!"
Me - "Okay, nice and elegant. Twirl. Beautiful."

Legend points at Roisin - "That Kayla is named Roisin."
Me - "Do you mean to say that Roisin is a girl like Kayla?"  I think he just realized this fact.
Legend - "Yeah. Roisin girl. Kayla girl. Mommy girl."
Me - "That's right. And where is a boy?" I look around the room, searching for boys.

Legend yells - "I'm a big, strong boy man!"
He immediately beats his chests and stomps around the house, grunting like a gorilla.

Impressive

Legend and Daddy are getting ready to go to the park together. Legend finds Cash's hat and thinks it is really nice.

Legend - "Look Daddy. Look. Cash hat. Cool."
Daddy - "Yeah, that's a nice hat. You can wear it tonight if you want."

Legend traces the design on the front with his fingers.
Legend - "Yeah. That's really friggin' impressive!"

Me - "I blame you, Cody."
Daddy - "Yeah, that's me. Oh my."
