"Mama, will you marry me?" Huh?
In the car (without me prompting/noticing what he sees): "Oh. Cool. Mama, that's cool. They're building a new building. They're buillllldinggggg a new builllldinngggg. See, Mama? See those cranes?"
"Mama/Dada, Stop talking." Not proud of that one, but we hear it a lot.
Driving by downtown on the freeway - (yelling) "HI DADA! WE'RE GOING TO CORONADO! WE'RE GOING TO CORONADO PARK!"
Coming home - "Hiiiiiiiii Shep. Hiiii Shepper-weppers" (I melt)
Looking up towards the sky - (yelling) "HI FREDDY! WE'RE PLAYING CARS, FREDDY!" (I melt)
They have been making Valentines for the parents in class and, according to his preschool teacher, Eamonn is the only kid in his class that, the first time she asked him what his Valentine should say, chimed up "I love Mama and Dada" (rather than "I love my trucks, lollipops, swimming, etc.") We're doing something right.
And I come home from a work function tonight and manage to sneak in a kiss before he had fallen asleep. "Mama, where'd you go?" Me: "I had a meeting with Miss Kitty (coworker); why - were you upset?" E: Silence for a minute; then he rolls over onto his side "It's O-K Mama; It's O-K" Then: "Want you to sing ONE MORE song" *He's into bargaining - I had not sung any - but he's so used to asking for one more anything it creeps in often.
And lately - every morning now - he gets out of bed and bursts into our room with one of two phrases:
"I have stinky pants!" or "You need a diaper change!"
It's the little things...
This week our neighbors began an exciting project!
Both Eamonn and Shep were captivated. What could it be?
A huge cement mixer pulled into our cul-de-sac alley...
And laid the foundation for a swim spa!
That prompted Eamonn to get right down to work.

Introducing......SHEP!
We (I) made it 3 days without a dog (it felt like an eternity!). We (I) had been monitoring the pug rescue site contemplating a friend for Freddy, and so I inquired about one dog I had been eyeing - turns out he was being cared for less than 2 miles from our home! So we met him and the rest is history...
Shep will turn 6 on February 13th. He is 25 pounds and by far the best-looking dog I've ever owned (non-pug-lovers hold your tongues). He doesn't shed, smell or bark! But apparently he is very attached to his new mama - perhaps because I picked him up first? They TELL me (Greg, nanny, backup babysitter...) that when I leave the house Shep goes to the door and howls. For a while. Even though there are other people home. So we are contemplating another pug playmate for him. Stay tuned!
