Remember the Tree!

Owing to a quirk of our driveway, there is a tree which is a major hazard for people backing out of our driveway. It's been hit a number of times, most recently by my Dad (in my Mom's car!!!) resulting in a pretty major body repair. Apparently it's been hit by virtually every regular visitor to this house in the last decade or so. I personally have come within a foot on at least one occasion.

It's gotten to the point that when you leave, Owen is likely to yell "Remember the tree!" as you walk out the door. He's well aware of the hazard.

Which makes it especially disappointing to report that Owen himself has had multiple collisions with said tree. Albeit with much less structural damage.

Goldilocks

Owen: Tell me the Goldilocks story.
Jed: How does Goldilocks begin, Owen.
Owen: [slowly, with great enunciation] Gold...eeee...locks.

Body Part Conversations

Disclaimer: This entry has some graphic details unsuitable for those not comfortable with body part names.

There's been a lot of interest lately in body parts. In particular, Owen has been very interested in penis talk. Who has a penis exactly?

Owen: "Mommy have a penis?"
Mommy: "No"
O: "Mommy have a 'gina."
M: "Yes"
O: "Daddy have a penis?"
M: "Yes"

Sometimes we review who is a girl and who is a boy...Aunt Ginny? 'Gina. Uncle Bob? Penis. Greta? Booty (of course). Spencer? Penis. Pop Pop? Beard.

By the way, this makes for great dinner conversation when we have friends over. Especially when Owen decides to SHOW everyone his penis. Ah, to be 2 again.

Sunday Mornings

Typical Sunday morning...
1. Help Mommy juice oranges for orange juice
2. Help Daddy make buttermilk waffles
3. Specifically, beat the egg whites
4. Daddy checks to make sure that the egg whites are done! AHHHHH!
5. EAT yummy breakfast

Everyone Poops

Well, everyone poops, but not everyone has managed to poop on a potty. Owen still prefers diapers, although we have a lot of quality potty time with no results. All in his own time...

Thanks to Aunt Ginny, Uncle Bob, Spencer and Greta for this hand-me-down book. We've read it dozens and dozens of times! Good literature for all occasions.

Piano Man

Owen was playing some songs from the "kids book" today, including some original songs and lyrics...video to follow soon.
