Am I There, Yet?

The first couple days of school were great.  Titus came home from his first day of school and told me that he asked his teacher if he could come back the next day.  I asked him how she answered the question and he said, “She said I could come back.”

Lilly told us that her teacher told her that she’s the nicest 2nd grade teacher in her school.  That made her feel good about going to a new school.  I’m just now getting into the swing of things.  This is going to be a good year.

Titus says things that are really funny.  When he tries to be funny…he’s not.  When he doesn’t try…he gets me giggling so hard.

Titus really wants to be like his dad.  The other day I caught him in my bathroom with his shirt off.  I asked him what he was doing.  He said he was sweaty from playing Wii and needed some deodorant for his “shoulders.”  He grabbed his dad’s deodorant and put it on his armpits and said, “Don’t tell Dad!”

Last night the kids were eating some pork chops and were talking about how some food we eat used to be animals.  Lilly said, “Pigs don’t go to heaven.”  Titus said, “I know!  They go through your body and into the toilet.”  Lilly said, “Titus…that’s not funny.  We don’t talk like that.”  I was trying so hard not to laugh and thought that Lilly was wrong because it really was funny.”
