| coffeeYesterday we went to Starbucks. Judah climbed up on the chair and asked me with a very serious face, his head tilted to the side, brows furrowed and hands uplifted,
"me coffee too, mom?"
how can i say no? so we got him some "coffee". he was so excited.
"my coffee!?"
yup. that's for you, buddy.
"my name's sam"
oh. right. well, that's your coffee sam.
do you like it, sam?
"ya. me like coffee."
good. :)
as you can see...we are living with a grownup in the body of a 2yr old.

| mother bear on a bikeyou know that "mother bear" instinct that mom's have? the thing that kicks in whenever you feel your child is in danger and you instantly become some kind of vigilante and develop super powers that amaze everyone?
ya...that is totally true. i am grossed out easily, but have plunged my hand into my child's vomit to see what the heck it was that he was throwing up..it looked like slugs and i was horrified to think that he had them inside of him so i "instinctively" picked it up and squashed it between my fingers to check. they were grapes. after i had time to think about it...i almost threw up.
i am scared of bugs. but after seeing one crawling on my child's chest, i immediately grabbed it and smashed it with my fingers. spiders scare the crap out of me. but i didn't have time to think and i did something totally out of character and saved my child's life. i'm sure the itsy bitsy spider was completely harmless but that's not the point.
the point is...why can't i be that brave all the time? why can't my cat-like reflexes come at times of other emergencies (like flaming decorations at baby showers?) and stay with me during normal activities...like riding a stinkin' bike! i have no balance, no control and i feel like i'm 7. sam laughing at me in the background doesn't help either.

| his most holy reverendthat is what i have to call sam now that he is ordained. :)
we took our first road trip to Kerrville this week as a family of four...and wow....that was LONG! thing were great on the way up...but coming back..it was insanity. why do our kids choose to poop when there are no rest stops around? and why does the second one poop five minutes after we've just pulled over to change the first? these things we may never know....
but there were some fun times to be had. i took sam to Outdoor World (his first time) because i feel every man should have the experience of being in a place that's totally full of testoterone. it was amazing..we stopped at a new one outside of San Antonio and it was HUGE with waterfalls outside and inside and it was really like going to the zoo, they had so many stuffed animals..of course, the animals at the zoo aren't dead but judah loved it anyways and the gigantic fish tank provided great entertainment for all of us.
of course sam took me to a yarn shop because we have to have balance with all those hormones so that was nice...if not for anyone but me! :)
well i have to clean "his holiness the ordained minister of the lord's" house... ;)
