Another child?


I thought the title of this post would get everyone’s attention. No, we are not expecting. Julia and I were riding bikes and she was talking about how Conrad is riding Weston’s old bike and Harper could ride Julia’s old bike. She said something about what would happen when we have more…

Rich: More what?
Julia: More kids.
Rich: What gave you the idea that we will have more kids?
Julia: Well, we might. You don’t know.
Rich: I don’t???
Julia: Well, you might have an idea, but you don’t know for certain.

So, now I’m trying to figure out if we just had the big father-daughter talk.

Burglar

From my bedroom, I hear a loud thud. This isn’t all that uncommon, so I keep doing whatever it was I was doing. I hear another thud. And another. I decided it was time to see what was going on. I walk in the living room and Weston has a chair from the kids’ table held high over his head. He told me the thud was from his throwing the chair. I asked him not to do that anymore and, out of curiosity, asked him why he was repeatedly picking up the chair and throwing it. He told me, in case there was a burglar, he wanted to show the burglar how strong he was.

Numbers


Julia drew these numbers getting married. She has the bride’s maids and someone playing the piano…all very cute. Then, you turn the page over, and on the other side, she drew all of them being eaten by a dragon:

That’s my girl!

Spin

Sometimes, when there are no cars and I’m on a small street, I swerve back and forth. The kids think it’s hilarious. I’m always very careful when I do this and I don’t do it very often. Conrad calls it “spinning”…

Conrad: Spin again, papa.
Rich: No, no.
Conrad: Because we could hit a tree that crashed down on a house……..long pause………let’s do it.
Rich: What’s the magic word?
Conrad: PLEASE can we spin again?
Rich: No.
Conrad: You didn’t say, “No, thank you.”

Kids Nowadays


Weston went to his school’s orientation yesterday. The teacher came back and told Claire how cute Weston is — but she said it with a grin that meant there was more to the story. It turns out the teacher asked Weston what he likes and his answer was, “Violence.”

UPDATE: After posting this, Claire wanted me to mention that she has since had a talk with the boys and explained that, when talking to other people, they like “action” movies, not “violent” movies.
