Sunday, October 16th, 2011David: “Because I didn’t know I was going to roll up on Jenny from the Block (Jennifer Lopez) when I walked into the closet.”
What my husband said when I asked why he tried to stifle a giggle when he saw me in this hat.
The Boy Who Plays Soccer
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011“I’m a soccer player now,” I hear you tell your new friend
“You want to come to my game? I play every weekend.”
Red and blue are your colors and you’re on a team of eight
You’re really good at defense and you’re dribbling is just great.
Daddy is your coach and you think that’s super special
He runs drills with all the kids and hollers at you to hustle.
“Only 4 year olds play soccer,” at least that’s what you say
And that, you tell Latham, is the reason he can’t play.
So your brother does his own thing while we all cheer you on
And when you score an awesome goal, we go crazy on the lawn.
You love getting super sweaty and running really fast
You think your friends are funny and playing soccer is a blast.
But when when the game is over is my most favorite part
Because that’s when we go home and all your soccer stories can start.
First Day of Preschool
Monday, September 12th, 2011It’s your first day of preschool, my sweet little boy
And with your backpack strapped on, you smile with such joy.
‘I can’t wait to meet my new friends,’ you say grinning at me
I nod and give you a high five to show you that I agree.
We take a few pictures of your brother and you
Reichen is starting pre-K – which is a BIG deal, too.
As you walk down the hall – I can tell you’re a bit nervous
So I fuss with your backpack so we can have a little caucus.
‘Are you going to leave me,’ you ask in a small, tiny whisper
I rub your back and say, ’Yes, but I’ll be here right after.’
It appears you believe me and so you walk off head high
You meet your new teacher and my heart swells with pride.
And then you say ‘Hi. My name is Latham,’ to a brand new classmate
I just know, my 3 year old son, this school year is going to be great!

Husbandism #38
Thursday, July 21st, 2011David: “You know what I did today?”
Me: “No. What did you do today?”
David: “I learned how to do an Anaconda choke on You Tube.”
Me: “That sounds like a constructive use of your time.”
David: “I thought so! So, can I try it on you?”
Me: “Um, no. No, you can’t.”
David: “Oh. Okay.”
The true conversation between myself and my husband that took place right before bed. Welcome to my world.

Latham: “Daddy, why does that guy have big belly?”

Random Guy: “Um, I just realized your son is talking about me.”
The barrage of questions my 3 year old asked my husband about the man standing 6 inches ahead of them at Subway.
And, what the random guy had to say about it.
Can you say awkward?

Husbandism #37
Friday, June 17th, 2011David: “I love that you’re pretty. You have the face of an angel….. until you open your mouth – that’s when all the chaos comes out.”
After sharing this particular husbandism with me, I reminded David he doesn’t have to share every thought that passes through his head. I mean, he knows I have a blog – right?
