SPL's Blog

Do you know this sticky, gooey, happy child? As April 13 came and went on Sunday, SPL passed his 33 month milestone and here are some highlights:

The photo:  John and SPL have been out of their regular Starbucks weekend routine (read: shelved in favor of his basketball obsession) this month so it was a fitting way to bring month #33 to a close on Sunday. This was taken using John’s iPhone :-).

Favorite books this month: Seaweed Soup and Monster Musical Chairs — two books John found that focus on early math skills such as sets (Soup) and subtracting 1 (one monster is "out" each round of musical chairs).

Funny quotes:
SPL:  "I’m just chilaxin’ @ Old Navy."

—————————

SPL: "Dad, are you going to the farm? (we were going one Tuesday morning as we had the week off from music)"
John:  "No, I’ve got to go to work."
SPL: "Then who can hold my jacket?"

———————

SPL: "Basically Bobo slept all night (he worked really hard on going to sleep by himself and staying asleep through the night)."

———————

SPL: ‘Tomorrow can you remember to make some (pudding) for yourself?"
Kathy:  "You’re sweet SPL."
SPL:  "What kind do you like mom?  Banana?"
Kathy:  "No chocolate."
SPL: "Oh."

And watching UT v. Memphis men’s basketball game on TV, SPL misunderstood the UT mascot:
John (to SPL):  "It’s longhorn not lawn mower, SPL."  🙂

after talking with grandma on the speaker phone:
Kathy:  "Do you want to play Inside or outside?"
SPL: "Outside — grandma can come with us."
Kathy:  "How is that SPL?"
SPL: "You can bring the phone outside with us."

——————————

SPL: "The pigeons, they were on the roof (at Trader Joe’s) and they used our car as a potty.  Why did they do that?"

and then as a followup a few days later:

SPL: "and when it gets really dark the birds will poop on your car."

And then a week after this, we were back at Trader Joe’s and immediately upon driving into the parking space, SPL said:

SPL:  "I hope there won’t be any pigeons today."

—————————-

SPL:  "Something smells."
KH:  "maybe it’s your feet?"
SPL:  "I think it’s the whole house."

And my favorite:
SPL, after throwing the ball into the kitchen, looks me straight in the face and earnestly asks:

SPL:  "Can you tell me `not in the kitchen’ mom?"

more 33 months updates soon.
