an accomplished ancestor

We are in the middle of a move so there is little time to share anything but it is Christmas time which invites lots of great moments.

Last night Thing1 received a Christmas card from his Grandma Ally. As he opened it up a $5 bill fell out and he exclaimed "cash!" When we asked what he would spend it on he told us, "a new mommy and a new daddy," but refused to elaborate on the whys and hows. He then pointed at Honest Abe and asked, "is that Grampy Bob?"

Those of you have never met Grampy Bob should scroll down to find a picture of him.

Oh, the minds of children.

Medium and I are both sick so we are pretty much permanently on the couch this week. On Tv there is a train chugging down some tracks and he calls my attenion to it saying, "Mom! It's a tractor bus."

These small glimpses into his mind where everything is brand new are some of my favorite parenting moments.
