cuteness, etc

So, yesterday Tready picked up a skirt that i had embellished with some patches and sequins.

He was really checking it out, so i seized the opportunity to toot my own horn.
(If you are ever having a bad day, or dealing with some self-esteem issues, tell a 4 year old about something you've done; they are the best, excitable audience-- ever!)

I told him that the skirt had some stains on it, so i decorated it to hide the stains and make it pretty again. I sewed pink & green flowers on it, along with some sparkly sequins and seed beads.

After careful study, he looked at me and said:
"I have a cool Spiderman patch you could sew on it."

Guess he's not into flowers & sequins.

Mind-Numbing Cuteness.

i could start a blog dedicated to my kid, but i don't think i'd ever get anything done....he kills me. right now, i should be packing for a weekend getaway to Hot Springs, but i just had to stop and write. it could be very possible that these things are only uber-cute to a mother, but.....i don't care. i don't have a "Baby Book" to put these things down....i've got my blog.

The other night, we were watching American Idol, and this rap-guy performed. The lyrics were way suggestive (talking about "going down"!!) for Primetime, and all the sudden i was feeling old and prude-ish. (I think its because my 4 year old was sitting next to me and there was all kinds of sexual gyrating going on whilst a sexy man and woman sang about oral sex to each other...)surely im not old and prude-ish.....yet.

Anyhoo...i told Tready i didn't like that song and he, of course, asked "Why?" I said that i liked songs where i could understand the lyrics, or songs that told stories.
Then he said:
"Yeah. Me, too. Like "Twinkle, Twinkle"

awwwwww!

Ick.

there is a mouse in our house and i am not happy.
