Ladies Man

This happened a few weeks back...but I didn't want to not document it and didn't want to forget. Owen has a crush.

A little girl named Alyssa... blond hair, blue eyes. She is a little older than him (maybe a few months) and in his preschool class. One day he was talking about her at home, so the next day when I dropped her off, I asked his teacher which one she was. There she was, sitting at the table, looking all cute and quiet. Owen, then instantly darted to her table...

"Hi Alyssa" he said. A quiet "Hi Owen" followed. And then, out of the blue, he started hopping on one leg for her. It was like his mating ritual... I don't quite know what he was doing, he was just hopping. So- not sure where he's learning these new pick-up moves...and I don't know if these will win him any dates in the near future (I'm guessing no- haha). Daddy may need to show him how it's done.

Owen-isms

I often go through life and have these moments where I want to stop time and remember things exactly how they are. It doesn't seem to happen. My memory is horrible- like really bad. I have a hard time remembering things that have happened over the years. It's somewhat frustrating- but I guess I remember the important stuff, and that's what really matters. I was driving to work this morning and wanted to make sure I remembered little things that Owen has been saying or doing lately. he's so fun- and funny- I didn't want to forget.

• He clogged up the toilet with toilet paper the other night. The water kept rising in the toilet and Sean wasn't home and I didn't know where the plunger was. I told Owen to go to bed and that daddy needed to fix it. He asked why- I said it was broken. His response- "It not broken. Just needs batteries".
• While running into daycare this morning with his football "Home Run". No Owen- touchdown!
• Of course from our walk last month when I was carrying him and begged to put him down because he was heavy "No me heavy, me little."
• At the farm golfing and Owen golfing for the first time with a club that Sean sawed down for him. I take my club and swing and miss. Owen comes up behind me "no mommy, like this..." Thanks Owen, for showing me how to do it.
• Driving to daycare every morning and passing the same house that has a fake dear in the yard. "Mommy- dear!" as if he is shocked to see it again.
• Driving to the farm and passing horses and cows on the way down. "Me want to pet the cow!"
• Driving home from daycare through the development and singing "Doggie, where are you?"
• Potty training and the first few times of learning to poop on the potty and Owen and I singing the meatball song ("on top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese). Love now that I think of meatballs and think of poop- thanks Owen.
• The constant tattle tailing "Hunter said I'm a baby. No me baby, I'm a boy."
• "Penis, penis, penis" I love that we are open about body parts. LOL
• "Boobie, boobie, boobie" see bullet above.
• "basketball broken, must see Dr. Deeena" (he has shortened her name). "barkey cough- must see Dr. Deeena". even driving down the freeway and seeing her building or any building that looks remotely similar "Dr. Deeena!!!"
• Not liking what we're having for dinner. "Me want peanut butter and jelly". Reminds me of my childhood.

I know there are more... will add to it when I do my Owen turns 3 post.
