We've been swimming every day this week and even though Zack hardly EVER sleeps anywhere but his bed, he has just been too TUCKERED OUT to handle life in the pool. The night I got my camera back, we found him asleep like so:
The boys (including my husband) had built a fort and were playing video games inside it. I tried to take Zack to bed, but he insisted on watching them. 30 seconds later, he was out cold. I LOVE that he still has his hand on the remote--as if he knew what he was doing with it.
A few days ago, he caught a crazy 24 hour flu bug. We put him in bed and a minute later he came out saying, "I FRU-up on my football blanket! I fru-UP!" He followed me downstairs as I loaded the sheets and blankets in the washer. As I came out of the laundry room, I watched Zack open [the running] dishwasher and pull out a wet bowl. and THEN I see him put it down on the floor and throw up inside it. I couldn't believe it! He's a frickin' genius! He didn't get a drop of it on the carpet or his pjs. When he was finished he said, "Mom, I FRU-up in that bowl." YES you DID, my son, and I couldn't be more proud! He is now my favorite child!
Another thing that I am just EATING UP is this PRINCESS phase he's going through. He started calling me a princess every time he saw pictures of me in my wedding dress. Then it got more frequent... like on Sundays or anytime I was wearing any type of skirt. Now he's calling me a Princess all the time and I love it! Right after he wakes up in the morning, he will get really close to my face and say, "Mom, you such a pwetty pwincess." A girl just can't get enough!
And it gets better. The other day, we were cuddling on the couch and he laid down on my chest. He sat up quickly and said, "Mom. You have one pwincess, you have two pwincesses." At first I was confused, and then he said it again, only this time pointing to my boobs. I am raising a boob-man.. he's a total perve.
A couple of months ago, he came downstairs from a nap and said, "Mommy, the baby's coming!" I was excited to hear this revelation and I said "It is? Where is the baby?" He pointed at my chest and said, "The baby's in your boob-boos." But he was wrong. No babies in my tummy or boob-boos. Bummer. But I am happy with the three little boys that I DO have. And deep-down, I am still hoping that someday I will get a little princess of my own.

I love it when kids fall asleep in random places. It was nearly an everyday event growing up in my family. The princess phase is pretty adorable, as well, especially with the boobs.
I love hearing him talk!! It's probably one of my favorite developmental stages- when they start speaking. They're little voices are so sweet & it's a peek into their little brains.
I CANNOT believe he pulled a bowl out of the dishwasher to puke in! that totally cracks me up. and I love the video. SOOO cute.

ps. I am getting my blog up and running--THANKS to you and all your help! of course, it won't ever be anything like yours, but I am proud of myself!
Ok, how do I teach my kids to be a super genius and pull out their own puke bowl??? I would even settle for them picking just ONE spot to puke in. My kids seem to try to cover as much area as possible.
And seriously, I don't think little boys come much cuter than Zack. Unless you're going to try to compare him to my boys, of course.
He's such a cute smart little boy. I love his voice! So you have princesses and he has hippos huh? lol. Vaughn will always pat mine (many times in public) and say "boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie!). I guess we're both raising pervs. :-) At least they are super adorable.
Oh, I FINALLY got google reader up and running. Yeahaw! I don't know how I ever lived without it.
He is a freakin genius. My kids do alot of self talk saying to themselves" Don't throw up, you can do it, don't throw up!" It doesn't work, but they try everytime. I love the sleeping pictures, so cute.
He is so cute. He reminds me a lot of my little Isabelle. Always going
Okay, any child who gets out their own puke bowl automatically gets favorite status- they don't even have to be mine. So, he's my favorite now, too.
My midget walked in to my closet after I put my clothes on for church today and said, "Mama, you a pincess!" Highest compliment she can give. I was ecstatic.
Also. I think I'm raising a boob GIRL... Maybe I should be worried. She's always poking them and grabbing them and saying, "I got yours boobs!" I think I need to get her around some boys.
Ty sits with his leg crossed like this as well. so cute! He is also obsessed with getting a baby sister some day and is telling randoms that I am going to have one soon. I get questions if I am pregnant and try not to be offended thinking I may look pregnant. sheesh
Anj- who would EVER think YOU looked pregnant when you are not? unless you are at your sister in laws wedding and you had your baby like two days before... Seriously. that might have been the worst moment in my life.. plus I kept talking to you about how terrible law school is. I hated myself that night.
So sweet. Love that he calls "Pwincess"!
This post had me laughing out loud! Of course it did. My favorite is Zack pulling that bowl out of the dishwasher to "frow-up" in. Him calling you a princess is great too! Thanks for the laughs before bed.
