The Birds and The Bees -Conversation 1

Smart Flint Goldensword was running around the house with just his underpants and the following conversation ensued with Daddy:

SFG: (Laughing while touching himself) Daddy, there are two balls in there.
Daddy: In your sac?
SFG: Yeah (laughing).
Daddy: All guys have two balls in there, buddy.
SFG: Ok. What are the balls for?
Daddy: Right now, they don't do much but when you get older, they'll make seeds.
SFG: What kinds of seeds? What do they grow?
Daddy: Seeds that will make babies.
SFG: (smiling) I can make babies inside of me?
Daddy: No. You have to give those seeds to a woman.
SFG: Like mommy?
Daddy: Well, yes, but you'll have to find someone different...someone you love....I love mommy and I gave her my seeds.
SFG: How do you get the seeds out?
Daddy: Ummm, that's complicated. I'll have to tell you about that when you're older.

Synopsis: We're in for it. For sure.

Nerd Alert: Nose In a Book

Lately, Little Miss Reader has gotten into the habit of yelling at me in the morning. It's not because she wants out of her crib...no, no, no. That would be normal. She will yell at me and sign the word "book" over and over until I bring her one. And I can't just give her any book. Her current favorite is "Mr. Brown Can Moo...Can You?" This is a big step given that her favorite book last week was "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb."




It's not much different in the afternoon either.

Little Farm

I decided to take PCS over to a farm to be "one with nature." We took some lettuce and celery to feed the animals while we were there. We saw some interesting things at the farm. First off, we saw this lonely chick....never mind that she is of a different color:

Sam said that the chick was by itself because it had been behaving badly. I think he is speaking as a man of experience.

We moved on to the cows. I feel like each of these cows was kinda smirking at me thinking, "Go ahead, lady, take our picture. We're here all day."



We then transitioned over to the coup where this angry turkey dominated:



And these poor ducks came over to us after said turkey was "gobbling" at them:

We saw some lazy pigs.....

A rooster...

And a beautiful stream....


There was a tractor on the farm so, of course, we took a picture. We also watched one of the hired hands take dirt back and forth across the farm for almost half an hour.


As a result of watching the tractor, this is what he looked like at the farm and once we got home:

Birthday Agenda -Part 3: The Pirate Health Survey

Pirate Captain Samuel had his 5 year check-up on Tuesday. He loves going to see Dr. Meier and Nurse Karen mostly because he gets to pee in a cup. He thinks it's hilarious. Although I have no funny stories about it like last year, I will say that he was much more mature in his responses to Dr. Meier. For example:

Dr. M: Sam, what's your address?
PCS: I live out at sea...hahaha (he answered for real afterward)

Dr. M: What's your phone number?
PCS: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8,9,10

Dr. M: What are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing most?
PCS: Nothing...Um, actually, I don't do anything because I'm Smart Flint Goldensword.

Here is a shot of him at least year's check up:

And here he is at a proud 44 in. and 44lbs.:


And here is our requisite blood pressure shot with Nurse Karen:

We also discovered that Pirate Captain Samuel, aka: Smart Flint Goldensword, has perfect vision. Apparently, Smart Flint Goldensword knew this all along because he let all the nurses know that he can spot bad guys from "super far away."

Birthday Agenda-Part 2: A Sweet Ride

We got Mr. Big Stuff a big boy bike. The first video is of him riding around at his future school and the second one was when we surprised him with it.
