Darn'dest Things

Alexander told me that he has 3 crackers, "one, two, three."

I agree, and said, "Or odeen, dva, tree in Russian."

He agreed, and said, "Or in Babushka's language, quatro, cinco, quatro." He walked out of the room so proud, and said, "Daddy taught me," with his shoulders back & chin so high up in the air...

Darn'dest Things: Marriage

Alexander's been talking a lot about the differences between boys & girls this week. So far we know he wants to grow up to be a daddy; stay home, but not do nothing; and not have any kids. Hmmm...

Today, he said something about having a baby, then quickly corrected himself & said, "I'm not going to have a baby, boys don't have babies in their bellies." And I said something along the lines of, but your wife can have a baby & then you can have a baby... he didn't quite get it.

Then he asked if there was a baby in my tummy, and I said I wasn't having any more babies. He asked, "Is it Daddy's turn?"

But the conversation moved on, but not in a new direction.

"I don't want to get married."

"Why, Daddy married me."

"Did he find you outside on day? That's what married means, ya'know."
