Alex was full of questions and opinions yesterday.
Today is an early release day for school. This is the last year of half day Kindergarten for us, so the boys will come home at their normal time. However, it is an early release day, so the entire school gets out at the same time they do. For some kids, this can be overwhelming. So I wanted to explain this to the boys. It went something like this: Boys, do you know that tomorrow is an early release day? Do you know what that means? It means that Sissy will come home when you do tomorrow. All the kids in the school will come home when you do. And you’ll ride a different bus home. Instead of Ms. Margaret, Mr. Martin will bring you home. OK?
I got the yeah, we understand response. But a few minutes later Alex comes and sits next to me, “Mom, I don’t want to come home when Sissy does. That’s too many minutes.”
“Awe, sweetheart, you don’t stay at school longer; Sissy comes home early with you. You’ll come home the same time you normally do.”
He quickly runs to share this information with his brother. Andy totally got it. Before Alex could even finish, he yells, “I know, I know, I heard Mom already.”
Poor kid, he was just trying to ease his fears.

Alex: “Mom, have you ever smelled a skunk before?”
Me: “Yes.”
Alex: “Really?”
Me: “Yes.”
Alex: “Was it disgusting?”
Me: “Yes.”

Alex has a colorful language. It’s not uncommon to hear him say: hey, butt crack or you have fart breath. This drives me crazy. I send him to his room, he goes to bed early but he STILL says it.
Yesterday he says to his sister, “You’re a fish head.”
Alyssa’s throwing a fit and wanting him to stop. I’m just happy he hasn’t used a more colorful adjective.
However, it wasn’t long and he was back to his old ways.
“Mom, you’re a butt crack.”
“Alex, to your room.”
“Why?”
“You know why.”
Will it ever stop???

O: What’s a yellow belly?
W: I dunno, but it is bad.
O: waaaaaaaaaah, you are a nose hair.

It’s times like this that I am grateful to have all girls! Good luck on that.
