Funniest comment of the morning

I told my five year old son that the person on his shirt was Jimi Hendrix and he was a musician. My son got so excited and said, “Wow, I love musicians! They do tricks!” Then he turned to his dad and said, “This is a musician! He does magic tricks. I love magic tricks!”

Confessions

I admit, I let my son play Mario Party on the wii. In fact, he knows what many of the characters say when they win. Now that I've confessed I will get on to the story.

I just told my son that he could play Mario Party. His face lit up in excitement! He exclaimed, "I love you mom!" I told him that I loved him too. Then he made a circle with his arms and told me that he loved me more than the world. I replied that I loved him more than the world!

My son's face became serious. He said, "I do care about the world more than you mom. But I do care about you."

My baby is growing up!

My son is the most wonderful little creature in the world. This morning we were in the bathroom getting ready and he said, “Remember when I swallowed Dad’s apple?” My thoughts grew worried because on more than one occasion I have found an apple peel stuffed somewhere in his room. I asked him what apple he was talking about. He replied, “Remember you told me that the bump in my neck was caused by eating Dad’s apple and now I’ll be a big and strong man?”

DIY Washing Machine Repair = Fail

One day I was doing laundry and noticed there was water on the floor. Truthfully I was not doing laundry but when my husband pointed it out there was indeed water on the floor. The washing machine was also full of water and wet clothes. Judging by the sticker it was only around five years old so I was determined to fix it.

Thank you to Tsu Dho Nimh for helping me diagnose the problem.

I am pretty sure that the tube is loose or there is a problem with the pump. I have repaired computers numerous times. I had no doubt that I could repair a washing machine. I took every screw out of that washing machine and the thing would not open.

I refused to read the manual so my husband put the screws back in after we spent over forty dollars at the laundry mat. My DIY Washing Machine Repair equals fail. (=

Prime Color Lesson plus Bath Incentive

I have found an ingenious way to teach my son his prime colors while encouraging him to take a bath. My four year old son hates taking baths. He does not like water and fights us at most bath times. I actually got him excited to get into the bath by taking out the food coloring. After a quick correction, he should not eat the water just because it had food coloring in it, he jumped right in the bath. He did an experiment and saw hands on that blue and red make purple. I told him we would combine red, blue, and yellow in subsequent baths. My fingers are crossed that this can keep his interest and help him become more comfortable in the bath!

What have I done? Back to school rap.
