Connected at the Butt!

Jess raises my gown as I'm brushing my teeth yesterday and says, "Mom, you have a butt just like mine!" I say-"O-k-a-y!!!!" And then he says, "Oh yeah, I remember now, that's because when I was a wittle-bitty-baby that's where I was connected to you!!!!! LOL!!!! Gonna have to have that talk soon! Ha!

Today on the way to day school he says, "Mamma I'm sweepy!!! (sleepy) I say me too! And he starts rubbing his eye and says, "This eye is sweepy, but not the other one-it had a nap!" LOL!!!! Ahhhh!!! Life with Jess!!!!!

He also wore his swim goggles to day school as a fashion statement!! He wore them last night in the pool and then would not remove them until bed time and the had them on again this morning. I ask why, and he says, "Just because I like them and they keep my hair back" How can you beat logic like that??

Yeah! We finally got Jess in the pool yesterday!!! He's had a horrible fear of bugs this year!! Scared that mosquitos were going to, "Suck his blood out til he dies!" - type fears!!! I even decided to give into the fears since no amount of reasoning was working to dispel his terrors and took him to the library to get a book on bugs and mosquitos-thought knowledge would give him power! Well it helped a little bit until Memorial Day weekend when the poor guy was swinging on his swing set and a darn red wasp who was disturbed by me, in cleaning the bird feeder, flew over and attacked Jess!!! Stung him on the leg!!! Poor little guy!!! They hurt so badly!!! Well ever since then he stays in the house and won't even swim in the pool!!! Until yesterday he finally ventured out! Thank goodness!! We had a wonderful time!!

"You Broke My Heart!"

What do you get when you have a 4 year old, worn out from hot days of summer and the night time experience of going to Vacation Bible School for 3 nights in a row?? A Drama Queen!!!!

Jess was complaining and whining and finally called me a "Stupid Mamma!" when I was not moving fast enough to provide him with my hair and his juice!!! (His comfort position) Well, Stupid Mamma had a magazine in her hands and had enough, rolled it together and smacked him on his rear and told him to not call me or anyone else Stupid! He ran bawling to the front of the house to tell his father on me!!! After about 5 minutes he comes back while I'm reading said magazine and crawls into bed with me and very quietly and gingerly requests his juice. After a few more minutes I tell him that I love him and he starts crying and says "Mamma, you broke my heart when you spanked me!" I said well you hurt my feelings and I've told you you cannot call anyone stupid. And he says, "But Mamma you broke my heart into a million little pieces!" I tried not to laugh outloud and Bruce comes in and asks what's wrong with him?? I said there's nothing wrong with him! Other than being deliriously tired!!! After about 10 minutes Jess was out! Sleeping like the quiet angel his Mamma knows and loves!!!
