Little piggies

Actually, there was one item of note
today. I was doing yoga this afternoon and took my socks off
part way through. When Lex noticed, he got very happy and ran
over, sat down and started doing “This little piggy went to
market” on my bare feet. But the funny part was, instead of
“this little piggy” he said “mommy’s little piggy went to
market, mommy’s little piggy stayed home…” :) He cracks me
up! We play the game a lot on his toes (he loves it and asks
for it all the time when I have his socks off “do piggies, do
piggies”) and I rarely say “ate roast beef,” instead I say
whatever he ate at his last meal (“this little piggy ate
Cheerios,” “this little piggy ate bananas,” etc.) Alan says he
hardly ever plays the game at all. So the funny thing is, Lex
*always* says “ate roast beef” when he says it. Like the rhyme
is somehow embedded in his baby brain and it doesn’t matter
what we say, he knows the proper words. Why would a piggy be
eating roast beef anyway?? :)

Random thoughts

I’m definitely carrying this pregnancy
lower than the last. It occurred to me today that maybe it’s
because Lex sits on my belly :) Maybe he’s doing his part to
help.

Not much going on lately. Always
busy, but nothing noteworthy anyway. We had Kaelen here again
today. Lex had fun for awhile then started packing up the toys
he brought. As if to say, “Ok, done with you now.” It was a
good day anyway.

Now he’s all bathed
(ate a marker so we had to take an earlier than usual bath) and
sitting in the living room reading books to himself. He keeps
telling me he wants to go to bed now, but then he changes his
mind before we make it all the way up the stairs. Up and down,
up and down… again, maybe he’s doing his part for this
pregnancy :)

That’s all for
now.
