Soccer

Most improved team with only one loss. And we're all besties. That makes soccer even more fun.

Math

e: What is 2 plus 3 equal?

M: You figure it out. If I have 2 apples, and you have 3, how many do we have all together?

e: (thinking) 5!

Lasts

Last week of pull-ups at night. I'm an official big boy. 

Flying high

Mamma looks so small from above. It's nice to turn the tables and have her look up to me.

Sunday morning selfies

Favorite place

Saturday night date for Mamma and Daddy. Walking around IKEA for no purpose while we play in Småland for and hour. 

Morning brew

In my new self-painted mug.

Bathtime conversation

e: You're going to die first Daddy. And then Mamma. And I'm going to die in a really really really long time.

D: Well. I hope that by the time Mamma and Daddy get really old that we can upload our consciousness into computers.

e: Yeah, then we'll need smaller beds.

Soccer

Another season has come to an end.

Doctor

My favorite superhero is the Hulk. Because he's big and green. I'm just big. 95th percentile big. I'm as big as Nina was when she was 6 years old. And I'm just 5! And I'm almost as heavy as her. Which the doctor doesn't like. But have you seen my huge head? Why do they not take into account brain mass in these BMIs. Brain Must be Included. Hello. 

Mamma and Daddy started giving me medicine at bedtime to help me sleep. Which worked 2 nights in a row, and then didn't. See, I told them I could go to sleep by myself. NiceDoctorLady said they could go from 1mg to 3mg of medicine. I think I can fall asleep all by myself. Who cares if it is at 11pm instead of 8:30-9pm? 

Doctor

At my annual doctor visit, I was told I was perfect. In height and weight. But I generalize. I'd been getting nose bleeds at night. Mamma and Daddy thought it was related to the change in weather and allergies. What do they know? Nothing. I have a sinus infection. Thanks parents. Way to take care of me. I get antibiotics to treat the sinus infection, and then Flonase to help with my allergies. Which has the side effect of nose bleeds. I can't win.

Master artist

My house. Daddy's going for a walk. Mamma's watering the plants. Nina's playing in my room. And I'm hanging from the sky. 

Philosophy

NeeNee: Wait till you get to Soccer Tease.

D: He Kant wait!
NN: Sarte like... Eucliding me?

Philosophy

Reading from a Jack and Annie chapter book about Ancient Greece.

M: They met a man. He had a long beard and said "hello, my name is Plato."

e: (laughing hysterically) Playdoh. What a crazy name. He's named Playdoh. (Continues laughing hysterically)

Lego monster

DO NOT INVADE MY LEGO SPACE!! YOU INVADED MY LEGO SPACE. Humph. Now I have to build it all over again. 

Dipping Dots

They taste good. But they don't make sense. They avoid the spoon. They melt in your mouth. Novelty wears off pretty fast. 

Gardener

I am also a Master Gardener. I am one with the dirt. I live with the dirt. More plants please.

Lego

I am a Master Builder. Beware heads on stakes.

Clean teeth

Wore an Iron man suit for X-rays. Used Thor to brush my teeth. And was told I was perfect. Dentists aren't so bad.

Mothers

They're the best. And they know it. But they still like to be told they're the best. These are facts learned in elementary school.

Sour face

My training as a baby worked! I can eat lemon no problem now!!

Wildstyle

Love the Lego Movie. Love Wildstyle. Aka Lucy. Channeling her hairstyle. 

Bye NeeNee

We were on top of the world when you were here. Kinda literally.

Mamma's water fun

Just as fun. But we're starting to feel that Mamma has an alternative motive when she gets out soap and water.

Haste

How our house looks at the idea of water fun.

Water days

Air temperature: 84'

Water temperature: 59'

Water fun: priceless.

Bar Macbensen

NeeNee: I'm thirsty.

e: I'll get you a drink. What do you want?

N: I don't know.

e: We have beer and wine.

Body parts

e: That's not a big toe. That's a thumb toe.

Volleyball?

Playing soccer in the backyard.

n: Handball!

D: I didn't use my hands, I used my forearms.

e: Daddy is so silly. He said he has four arms!

Spelling words

M: Nina, how do you spell 'joy'.

n: (thinking)

e: g-i-n.

Le Creuset

D: I'm going to cook a delicious dinner tonight.

e: What am I having for dinner?
