I think it's the six-year-oldness of St, but he is a riot currently. Just a few tidbits...

Sitting at dinner, we were talking about what he was doing in school. C was constantly interupting, trying to tell St's story; therefore, C lost the privelege of talking, which was killing him. St finally got to the point: in class they are working on "br" words. We were all coming up with "br" words and C was wildly gesturing and pointing at his head. C is of course thinking "brain"; Stuart shouts out "BRICK!"

Working on creating some Trilogy coursework, I was reading aloud From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya to A & St. Here's our conversation.
St: Mom, I'm tired of learning about these inventors.
M: St, they're missionaries, not inventors. Do you know what a missionary is?
St: No
M: Missionaries are people who tell people about Jesus.
St: I thought those where just Christians!?
M: Well, yes! That's true. We tell people about Jesus, and we are missionaries here in St. Louis. Some missionaries travel far away to different countries where no one has ever heard of Jesus.
St: Ok, but I'm still tired of learning about the inventors.


A is teething and had been fussing in the night; not really awake or crying just kind of sleepy whining. Then she really started to cry, so I got up. At her door I meant with Stuart coming out of her room wearing this lego head lamp on his head. It startled me, but he was totally calm. I took said head lamp, sent him back to bed, and dealt with A. The next morning, I asked S what he was doing, wondering if he'd even remember. His reply, "Mom, I was going in to calm A down. She was bothering me."

Wednesday around 10:30PM, C got up to go to the bathroom. When he left the bathroom, he didn't turn the corner he went into the kitchen.  We called him a few times, but he kept walking...straight to the garage door. Opened the door (we're still calling him), opens the van door (again calling him), climbs under the baby seat, and gets in his seat in the back. I almost had to get into the van! He finally climbed out and shuffled back to his bed. Didn't remember a thing in the morning!

I ordered a set of  Baby Legs for A off eBay. Several of them were Baby Legs and several were an off brand from China called "Animal Kids." The description underneath reads exactly:

Use Everydoy,Needs Everyday
For All Person Wear Well

Awesome.
