How Quickly They Forget

With tears in his eyes, BH held Grandma's hands and said, "When I grow up, I will be a daddy.  I will get a job and take care of you, Grandma".

"But Honey, I will be old by then."

"Don't worry, I will make you new again."

There were lots of hugs for grandson.

Then the very next day...

"Hi Bobo!" said Grandma, as she got into the car after work.

"We're going to Toys 'R US.  You stay in the car and don't follow us."

I suppose love for Grandma can only be on Fridays but not Saturdays.

Booger Hero

Grandma got lots of the nasties out of Boobey's nose the other day and he called her his Hero.

I was not going to post this one but everyone else found it amusing.

Bleck.

Christmas 2009

I do not think H1 and I will ever win that Present War again. Not that I could beat H1 these days but now with BH in the mix, even though we got him one big present, he still manages to collect the most.

His reason? He's lucky.

His reason as to why Grandma did not collect as many? She's naughty.

Too Much

Today, Grandma was told:

"You watch too many newses. It is time to watch my show now."

It's true, she does.

If only he were here at nights when Grandma watches Nancy Grace and CNN for about 2 hours every night.

May Conversations: Maids and Fish

Grandma: Are you ready?
BH: I am readymade!

Did he mean, "readymade" or "ready, maid"? If the latter, well that's awfully rude of him to treat Grandma that way!

Grandma: You are not to be selfish!
BH: ::runs into the kitchen:: I want to see selfish!

No matter what the fish, it should be cooked or swimming in a tank, I suppose.

He's Right

Grandma had a slip and out came a very loud sounding passing of gas.

BooHead, who had the misfortune of standing behind her, almost immediately yelled out:

"Big Poom! Gad, Stink!!!"

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.

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.

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!

Mmmm, GOOOOOD!

This entire week, Boobey has been climbing up on to the table to take an apple from his apple picking excursion.

The first day he pulled the climbing stunt, Grandma told him that he should not do that because the dirty apples had to be washed before being gnawed into.

Every day since then, Boobey will climb up to the apples, take one and say, "Mmmm, GOOOOD. Grandma! Clean up! Clean Up, Apple. Please!"

Even though he already bit into it.

Ugly

There was crying one day - an upset face and tears.

Grandma asked him to please stop his crying because, "you look ugly when you cry like that. Please don't cry, nah."

The crying continued, Boo-Head ran to a mirror, looked at himself and said through the sobbing, "ugly".

Heh.

Okay Then.

Or 2: Is Boobey whiney today?
H1: No, A'Face was happy to see him.
Or 2: Oh, okay.
H1: B'Cheeks was happy to see Grandma.
Or 2: Okay.
H1: Boobey was happy to see an apple.
Or 2: Wha'?
H1: Yeah.
Or 2: …okay.

Jeebus

Grandma was on the phone with H1 today, and in the background could be heard "Down, pleaaaassee. Down, pllleeaase!!"

When it was realized that Grandma was ignoring him as he sat in his chair, Boo-Head increased the volume of the screeching, "DOWN! PLEASE!!! PLLLEEEEEAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!"

After which Grandma said to H1, "Let me go, he's carrying on like he's on the Cross."

Clear As Day

He said "Blueberry" today, and quite happily.

The other adventures had by little Boo-Head today involved his being behind Papa and Grandma in the garden. There he was, trailing them, and getting all involved by picking beans and a green tomato.

He also tried to pinch me but it was so meek that I didn't realize that's what he was doing.

Back in March or so, when we found out that Chrissy Lee was coming, I taught Boo-Head how to give a meggie.

"What will you do when you see Uncle Chrissy Lee?"
::tssth:: and a tiny meg from a tiny hand.

It was awesome.

Tomorrow if all goes according to plan, when asked, "What will you do when you see Uncle Mitch?", he will raise his fist in solidarity to his Uncle MC.

Back-Entry for April 27th, 2008

The 18 month old with the 22 month old behaviour has known all that there is to know since he was 4 days old, when he looked Grandma up in her face from the bottom of the stairs.

He continues to be hounded by the paparazzi for all he does and he does a lot. He gets into things, acts like a big boy and amuses (and sometimes bewilders) us weekly with all the things he wants to show us.

For this week, (and maybe some spillage from the week before) here are the hi jinks from Boo Head...

April 20th - 27th:

He has learnt to give sweet eye. He can give it like nobody's buisness. We must take video of it because it's hilarious.

How does he know to call pretty girls "baby" is beyond us but it's very upsetting that he's doing it to the pies. Didn't anyone ever tell him there's no hot pie? She was nice though, at least. It was still unacceptable!

He's been going on a biting spree and the victim has been grandma. "Boohead? What did you do to Grandma?" "Bit. Bit." He knows.

This week he got an easel. At first he was very excited and proceeded to take chalk to blackboard and draw to his heart's content. He drew one line, "car!" and then drew another line which of course, translates to "More car!". Indeed, Boo Head. Indeed.
Then proceeded to take chalk to mouth after breaking it up in many pieces. What the eff?! When will he stop putting things in his mouth? What kills us is that he does it on purpose. Eh!
After he spat out the bad tasting chalk (Yeah, that'll teach you!), he threw down the easel in a fit of what? Don't know but he threw it down and started to climb all over it. He's ungrateful, that kid.

When Suga' asked for a kiss, he said very defiantly "no". Fine. When Grandpa asked for one, he was about to go give one but realized Suga' was giving him the evils so he turned his head away and quietly said, "no".

On Saturday, BH went to a farm. He loves chickens. He tried to moo at some cows, and a duck tried to bite him.

Apparently, he will acquire Suga's animal encounters of the assy kind. The same duck showed BH his ass and then laid down a poop. BH, unphased responded, "Duck. Poop!". Yeah... maybe Suga' should be unphased by such behaviour as well.

Finally, he still refuses to say "Suga'Face" but has taken to calling Suga' "blueberry" or "booberry".

Grandma: You want to talk to Suga'face?
Boohead: Booberry!!!!!! Booberry!!!! ::runs for the phone::

Ehhh. And there was the time H1 asked him where Booberry was. He smiled evilly and looked Suga' in the face.

This is ass behaviour especially since he can say, "Watanuki".

He slays us...
