Making Word People

Here is his belly,
and here is his head,
There are his arms
and there are his legs.





Boobey placed a fitting word over Word Person No. 2 after telling me he was a little something. More reasons why I think he reads. Also, yesterday he woke up and looked over to see what time it was.

Currently listening to: "Hang On" by Illinois.

Happy Thank You!

This is Boobey's 3rd Thanksgiving but the 1st that he'll be all up in the food. It's the start of another fight involving another mouth to feed with stuffing.

I'm not sure if A'Face will love the stuffing because he doesn't like much of anything other than chocolate but just so there can be even more fighting over stuffing, chances are he'll like it.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Boobies!

Note: H1 wished him Happy Thanksgiving and he responded with Happy Thank You.

Wash and Tumble

Here he is getting a good washing at JJ's birthday party:

Just like Bunji and Or 2

It's too soon to tell but every since he was younger, he's been fascinated with playing doctor as previously blogged.

Dr. Boohead seems quite the versatile person.

The other day, as Bunji was giving money to Grandma, BooHead ran up to the transaction, shouted "money!", grabbed the money and ran.

Bunji is convinced Boohead is just like him, which means he could do some serious stock market buisness in addition to being a doctor.

I guess he'll also be a serious sous chef to somebody because he's been helping hism mommy out in the kitchen as well.

I'm happy my job will be taken over by another. Heh.

Some Funnies

It was clear a long time ago but we have to watch what we say around Boohead. He repeats and understands everything we tell him.

The other night, on Grandma's birthday, we went to the Chinese take out restaurant to buy Birthday Take Out for Grandma. We told him as much and as we pulled into the parking lot, he whispered "Chinese Store".

Then he went in and said, "Chinese Store". It was not a horrible thing but kind of funny too.

The other day, Angelo realised she speaks like Boohead when he's around.

"Boohead! Eat Food?" and in the same breath, "I'm talking like him now."

That's cute.

Birthday Routine

The tail end of the year means lots of birthdays for the HOChieS and friends, and BooHead has become skilled at celebrating. He knows exactly what is supposed to happen once that cake comes out.

For Grandma's birthday, he sweetly sang Happy Birthday and gave her the present he bought for her. As soon as he gave, he quickly tore the paper off because he's quite skilled at unwrapping gifts as well. He also demanded that she put on the earrings ('earrings!' he called in surprise as if he didn't know what he got for her) right away.

Last Saturday, we celebrated JJ's Birthday and went to her Birthday party in Brooklyn. There were many kids and parents about and as soon as the cake was unveiled he began singing Happy Birthday before everyone else. They weren't moving quickly enough I suppose, so he clamoured for them to 'candle in', 'light it', 'blow' and 'take out candle'.

He knows that you just don't delay the eating of the cake.

Smart.

Jingle Bells

I am quite pleased by the fact that Boobey can sing "Jingle Bells" like a pro. I'm prepping him for Christmas but the whole concept of sleeping under the tree does not yet seem to be sinking in. The tree's not up yet and I have until the 24th to train him.

He is Wise

He calls M&Ms "Ws" sometimes. Who could fault him?

"OH NO!"

Playing The Blues

I was standing in line at Michael's today (the arts and crafts store), when Boobey ran up to me and handed me a harmonica with all this ruckus behind it.

I could hear H1 telling him from the side that he should ask me to buy it please.

Which he did, quite loudly, "BOOBEY, PLEASE!" and had the woman behind me laughing.

He's been rather enjoying the purchase, which makes me happy even if he has been playing the blues.

Not a Hemo Either

For the past few days, I've been telling him that my headphones are broken. Yesterday when I got in the car after work, we were talking about the new headphones that came to the house.

He saw that I had my Ipod and wanted to hear 2 things by way of special request.

"Rock Band", he said.

So, I played his favourite "Blitzkreig Bop" for him.

After that was over, he requested "monkeys".

He wanted to listen to his Uncle Alex and Arctic Monkeys.

I was so proud and impressed.

Beetchie, he's not a hipster or an emo, much like I'm no Hemo either. Ass.

Shark Attack

After his last haircut, he came home with another new friend. I was hoping for another Monkey Duck but as we all already know, I love sharks so I was quite pleased. I was actually hoping for a Monkey Shark but that's okay too, I suppose.

Yesterday, Shark Friend held on to my finger.

"It got me!" I cried.

And when Boobey pulled it off, my finger was missing.

He cutely looked down the belly of the beast to see if my finger was eaten and stared for a while until it was revealed that Suga' was okay and the finger was magically reattached.

Needless to say he was not tricked again until my thumb disappeared after being engulfed by Shark Friend.

Thumbs aren't fingers.

Stinky II

A big hug and kisses were passed around this morning to his Momma.

::Kiss kiss kiss::

When suddenly, he pulled away and held his nose.

"Stinky!"

::gasp::

H1: Who's stinky?!
BH: Momma.
H1: That's not a very nice thing to do to your Momma! Who's stinky?!
BH: [Boohead]
H1: And who else?
BH: People!

Sometimes he doesn't keed.

Touching Story of the Day

Beetchie,

Boo-Head saw a picture of you today on your Facebook and asked for you and said, "Come back".

Awww. He remembers and he truly listens when we tell him stuff.

She Like Me

As he entered his room downstairs, he spotted something that belonged to me.

BH: Boobey!
Grandma: What yuh calling her for? Boobey doh like you.
BH: Boobey like me.

It's true. I do.

Stinky

His daddy slipped a fart under the covers while Boo-Head was under there. He flew out from ther equickly and cried what we already know - "Stinky!"

"Big Bird is..."

"...A'Face."

It's not yellow if that's what you people were thinking.

Just so it is known, "Elmo's hat is on his..."

"...bottom."

And there you have it.

Doctor Boobey-Head

With doctor's instruments (measuring tape) in hand, Boo-Head began inspecting Grandma's ears, arms, head and legs, in what was to be a routine check up.

The full physical included taking blood and as he said, "check boobs".

Perhaps in her loopiness, X is right.

Maybe it should be Boo-Head for President in 2040 but I worry about the scandal he'll bring to his campaign from his days as a doctor!

Happy Halloween!

Yeah, yeah. So I'm over a week late in posting. Meh.

Boo-Head's costume? A Sensei, non-sake carrying, non-katana wielding, Yakuza type.

His attack?

The power of cute.

And Thomas the Tank Engine.

Ferris Wheel

It's a Boobey and Suga'Face first - we went on a ferris wheel.

Monster Attack on the House Under the Tree

All of a sudden, there it was!

A Monster perched on top of Boobey's House!



It was trying to crawl through the chimney or was waiting until an unsuspecting Boo-Head ran by.

See it looking down ready to pounce?

It's the stuff of nightmares, that.

Ben, The Verizon Guy

On Tuesday, our Verizon Fios had to be fixed because the On Demand Feature and the Program Descriptions weren't working on any of our televisions.

A nice gentleman from Verizon came around to check the situation out. At some point, right after he arrived, he had to go back to his truck to get something.

Boo-Head ran to the window, looked out and called to the man, "BEN!"

Now, my first question when I heard this story was, "Is that man's name Ben?"

It was not Ben. The man had not even told Boobey his name yet and Grandma asked him, "You're calling him Ben? How do you know that's his name?"

Boo-Head ran to the kitchen to see Grandma and asked, "Name? Name?"

So when "Ben" the Verizon Guy came back, Boo-Head asked him, "Name?"

Turns out, it's Bobby.

Boo-Head took it upon himself to name that guy and named him "Ben".

We have no idea where he got "Ben" from because we don't know anyone by that name other than someone my Mom knows, who she called at least 1 month and a half ago.

I don't think that's where he got it from, but I'm convinced Boo-Head can read. Clearly, he misread "Bobby" but there are other reasons I think he can read and has in the past.

Ha.

Ben...

Guilt Trip

I called Boobey from work on Thursday last to let him know that I wouldn't be coming home until later.

I knew the conversation would be difficult when he answered and never before did he do this but he came on and was very excited to talk to me.

"HI Boobey!!!!!", he said.

I was shocked.

Then I told him I wasn't coming home on time.

"Come home. Play, Boobey," he replied.

I explained, "I'm sorry, Boobey but I'm not coming home right away, okay?"

"Okay" he said, very teary and genuinely sad.

It broke my heart. It almost made me really stay home because I was already debating whether or not to go see The Last Shadow Puppets.

Presents for A'Face

This week, Boo-Head took pieces of paper and wrapped up presents for A'Face.
Today, he wrapped another.

I hope A'Face likes packets of duck sauce and rubber bands.

The Great Bottle Regret

This was not as sad for Boobey as it was for H1.

A few days ago, she threw out his bottles and it made her realise that she truly does not have a baby anymore.

It'll be okay, H1.

He's still ridiculous.
