"I just had to organize my penis."

Add that to the list of phrases I never thought I'd heard spoken out loud.

It went like this...

Ben grabs at his crotch a few times and notices I'm looking.
Ben says "I don't have to pee. I just had to organize my penis."
Then he follows it up with "It was stuck to my leg."

This kid keeps me laughing!

Ben's spring concert

First, I wish I had photos, but I knew his teachers would be taking lots so I'm waiting for theirs.

Second, it was SO, SO cute!

Ben sat right up front and center for his public school concert debut. The theme was the ocean and titled 'Oceans of Fun'. His class sang The Beatles' Octopus' Garden and an unnamed dolphin song.

Based on Ben's level of enthusiasm we'd say his favourite parts were the air guitar segment of Octopus' Garden (adorable) and putting on a pair of super-cool shades during the dolphin song.

Here's a pic of Ben looking handsome in his hand-crafted octopus hat. :)

Walking is near... for real this time!!

Several times today Caitlin has taken a string of steps; about five or six at a time, and is walking around holding onto one of my fingers.

She must've overheard me on the phone with Grandpa the other day telling him she'd probably start walking sometime during their visit. I guess she thinks she better get on it sooner!

Dada, Mama, and... Pablo

For the longest time Caitlin called everyone 'dada': Nic, me, Ben... even complete strangers. So, I thought I'd work on getting her to call me 'mama' consistantly. Finally, after much fanfare each and every time she called me 'mama' she started calling me 'mama' regularly... however, now everyone is 'mama': myself, Nic, Ben... even complete strangers.

You see the pattern, right?

Just when I thought one name for everyone was all she needed we stopped at the video store where, while sitting in her stroller next to a wall of 'new release' videos, she pointed and said 'Pablo'.

So, there is everyone and there is Pablo. I don't see Pablo getting her snacks and changing her diaper! :P
