Stage debut

Noah is having his stage debut in a 5- and 6-year-old production of The Rainbow Fish. Such a proud and nervous Mama!

Testing remote blogging

Well, now I'm a cow with an iPhone. Checking out an app for posting to blog from phone.

Well, another milestone achieved.

Son tonight uttered the pivotal words:

Mom! You're such an embarrassment!

He also hit me with this doozie:

If you don't come help me right now, you're out of a job.

So much for Mommy's most favored nation status....

The joke of the day, Noah-style

Him: "Hey, Mom, you know how to make an elephant float?"

Me (gullibly): "No, honey, how?"

Him: "You take one scoop of ice cream, two squirts of soda, and three scoops of elephant!"

Dissolves into hysterical laughter

At his 5-year-old checkup, the doctor commented that he had a very well developed sense of humor. She had NO IDEA. God, I love this kid.

I taught my son the interrupting cow joke.

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Interrupting cow.

Interrupting cow wh...

MOOO!

Okay, it's stupid, but it's my favorite knock-knock joke. So I taught it to my 5-y-o. It took two days to get the timing right, but he's been very creative with it since then. Interrupting cow. Interrupting goat. Interrupting sheep. Interrupting dog. Interrupting chicken. Interrupting rooster.

Yesterday morning, he climbed into bed with us in the morning. "Knock knock!" Who can resist? "Who's there?" "Interrupting tushie!" Interrupting tush..."

FART!

He actually timed it so that he farted to interrupt me responding to the knock-knock joke. I can't decide whether to be insanely proud or horrified.
