Hudson was frustrated with Sol and said, “Uggghhh, you are so…” and before he could finish his sentence Sol inserted, “Adorable?”

One night after baseball practice Sol ran around the back of Josh’s truck to get in on the other side and a car drove past just as he went around the back.  It almost gave me a heart attack and of course I went a little on the crazy mom side going way overboard with reminding him about cars and the park and how he’s small and drivers can’t see him and I just made him feel like he was in trouble instead of me just wanting to remind him because I thought he was going to get hit by a car.  He climbed in the truck in tears and as we drove down the road I said, “Sol you’re not in trouble.  It’s just if anything ever happened to you…” and before I could finish Hudson said, “You’d never forgive yourself?”

The boys got in the car after school one day and asked me a question, which I don’t even recall what it was, but it required some explaining.  After I explained whatever it was Hudson leaned over near Sol’s face and said, “Sol, are you thinking what I’m thinking?”  To which Sol leaned over close to Hudson’s face and replied, “Oh I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”  And I never even got to the bottom of what they were thinking.

One of the boys passed gas silently the other day while they were drawing and coloring.  I was sitting with them and said, “Whoa, what’s so smelly?”  To which Hudson piped up with, “It must be you because your stink is strong.”

And lastly, I made the unfortunate mistake of taking the boys with me to get a new bra at Target.  It had to be done…like I was in dire need.  There were no alternatives.  There was no waiting any longer.  I should also preface this by saying we have had lots of mammal and breast feeding conversations in our house lately because Harper’s class has been studying animals.  Therefore, lots of breast milk questions and comments.  And we shoot straight with our kids.  As we entered the dressing room I instructed Huddy and Sol to sit with their faces in one direction, while I did my trying on in the other direction.  Amon was a lose cannon as always.  Hopefully he won’t be scarred for life. Sol sat silently.  Hudson, not so much.  He asked all of the following questions: “Like if you had to feed a baby right now would your boobies still make milk?”  “Why are you putting back on that old dirty one (bra), when you just had on that nice new one?”  “Hey remember that time you”…and then went into graphic imagery about an unfortunate breast feeding incident when Sol was a baby.  He was relentless…would not stop…just kept ’em coming.  And the ladies in the adjoining dressing rooms all enjoyed a good laugh.  I cringed just a little bit more each time I heard the friendly snickers.

Aaaaaand, you’re welcome.

Happy Thursday!
