The Bee

One day, while BH and I were running around the yard, he decided that he would play a bee and 'sting' me.

Regardless of what H1 thinks, I maintain that I did not teach him this nonsense nor is he 'pick up' his ridiculousness from me. He inherited it from his mother.

Learning to Fib

Today in the car, he told his mommy that he was 'tarving. Starving, even. And starving, still.

It was of course, Grandma who starved him all day, according to his story.

All this drama for a sit down dinner at the Train Station and some nerds candy.

It turns out that when I got home, Grandma was starving me.

Can you believe that woman failed to have my hot dogs ready and waiting?!

I'm Working On It

On Saturday morning, BH awoke and made a declaration:

"It's Summertime!"

I'll continue my work to teach him the days of the weeks, months of the year and the seasons with him because he clearly has not gotten it down yet.

Telling It Like It Is?

"Boobey is Naughty boy" - Grandma
"No! Boobey good boy!" - BH
"No! You naughty boy! That is why you're so skinny!" - Grandma
"No! Boobey not skinny!" - BH
"You are fat then!" - Grandma
"No! Boobey not fat anymore" - BH
"Is Grandma fat?" - Grandma
" 'es". - BH

How insulting!

This Is How Things Are...

"Yes" is "es" with a shake of the head in agreement. He's finally saying "yes", kind of...

BH is a grape! He'll defiantly say 'no'. Yesterday he told me he's a good boy in response.

"18" is not a fluke. He knows that number well for some reason.

He won't speak to his mommy or me on the telephone while we're at work, but a little trickery by telling him it's Auntie Angelo and he's all on the phone "Hiiiiii". I'm sure there was sweet eye to boot.

X is traumatized that we used her good name to trick him into speaking with us on the phone, and just like the boy who cried wolf (except messed up for her, not us), he wised up to our trick and when X really did call to talk to him, he ran off screaming bloody murder. Heehee.

He loves those little girls... he's got three new friends that he met at Aims'. What a clown.

Wiping Away, Birthday and the Crane Game!

This past week, Boo-Head has done many things of the 'naughty' kind.

He has begun to wipe off his mommy's kisses! And pretty much everyone else's too.

The other thing he insists upon this week is saying that his birthday is on Saturday.

I got a box of presents that he contributed to, and what does he do?

"Open it!"
"No, Boobey, it's my box! It's my stuff for my birthday!"
"Jogan's! Train! Open please!"
"No, it's MY birthday! Suga'Face's!"
"Jogan's" ::taps chest to indicate it is his birthday.
"Suga'Face's."
"Jogan's."

Eh. That kid likes to keed.

One cool thing he has started doing is creating 'scenarios'. This week, he set two of his cars up as if they had been in a bit of an accident and overturned, left them, then went to find a crane to get them out of the drain.

Yep, he told Grandma that he needed a crane.

And in a bit of an interesting news non-Boobey Head related, A'Face told me, "I cry. I hate school."

I don't know where he learnt the word 'hate' either.

Currently: Really thirsty. I wish the cats would get me water.

Singing

This weekend we went to Toys R' Us so that Boo-Head could buy himself a toy with some of the birthday money he got from our recent house guests.

It turns out that Toys R' Us were celebrating Geoffrey The Giraffe's birthday this weekend in stores.

Party hats, colouring books, Thomas the Train wooden whistles, and stickers were all given.

In addition to this, H1, Dadda and Boo-Head joined the parade march around the store, which began with a Happy Birthday song to G. the G.

Boobey thought the song was being sung to him and was rather proud of himself.

It's the same kind of proud smile and look-around look he gets when we applaud him for doing something smart.

H1 had to stop singing because she was laughing so hard.

Another favourite song of his this weekend is the spaghetti and meatball song.

Bold letters are the sentences he completes:

On top of spaghetti,
all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
when somebody achoo.

I like his version better.

I don't know if I've mentioned it but he's finishing the lines to "Blitzkrieg Bop" to my delight.

And finally, Grandma only sang this song in front of him once but I guess it's the only thing that makes sense to him and he'd be right:

I had a little monkey
he went to the parlour to buy me some bread
the lady there took a piece of charcoal
and shove it up he nose hole
oh lord now my poor monkey go ded

It's tragic he knows that horrible song.

Grandma's never to sing that again!

Note: The lyrics are probably wrong but that's basically how they go because I, myself never want to hear that song again!

No Longer Shu'Dace

Apparently, I am no longer Shu'Dace or Blueberry.

He calls me "Boobey" now.

Which probably means, he's no longer Boobey.

Dirty

H1 just reminded me of that time when Boobey was looking at a blemish on Grandma and after inspection said, "Mole dirty".

To which Grandma replied, "my mole dirty?! Your penis dirty!"

He knows all about that because he wanted a bath once and told his Momma that his penis was dirty.

Still Sweet, Even When Sick

Boobey's had a fever for the past week. He went to the doctor yesterday and admist crying due to fact that he was in a small room with a doctor, he still managed to be polite.

H1: Boobey, say bye bye to Dr. E.
Boobey: ::bawl bawl:: Bye bye ::bawl bawl:: Tank ooo (thank you) ::bawl bawl cry cry::

He was sleeping when his fever came back last night, at which point H1 had to wake him.

H1: Honey, you have to wake up because you have a fever…
Boobey (sleepily): Hot.
H1: Yes, honey, you're hot…
Boobey: Medicine?
H1: Yes, honey, I have to give you medicine
Boobey: Drink?
H1: Yes, honey, I have your drink right here.
Boobey: Tank ooo

This morning when I saw him, he had his paci in his mouth and I told him, "Okay, you're going to have a day of play with Grandma today! Hopefully no more fever. And when you see the cats say hi to them, alright?"
He looked up the stairs and said, "hiiii, braaowww (that's what cats are and that's what they say, apparently)".
"Yep, say hi to Pumpkin."
"Pumpkin, hiiiiii".

It makes me a little said that he says Pumpkin so clearly now.

Three Little Birds

He and Momma were singing this today. The parts in bold are the words he sings - he completes the line...

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
On my truck
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, 'this is my message to you'

...other than the truck and the 'you-ou-ou', he completes the lines pretty well for the most part.

Question

Or 2: Boobey? Did you poop?
Boo-Head: No thank you.

He's clever, that one.

Pending Rain

At some point during our day of play, the clouds turned black and the wind started to blow cold and fierce.

With the threat of rain, I tried to gather up Boo-Head and A'Face to hurry indoors. "Quick! Let's go in the house!", I shouted.

Boo-Head ran straight into his play house, closed the windows and prepared for the coming storm.

Hilarious.

Full of Keed II

The day after he was pretending to be asleep so as to not speak with us, we called to talk to him and this time he covered his ears.

Full of Keed

Today we called him as per usual and when asked if he wanted to speak to his Mama and Suga'Face, the answer was the same in both instances as Grandma informed us: he pretended to be asleep and therefore could not speak with us.

Apparently this is what he does now when he doesn't want to talk to us.
