Daddy Would NEVER Hide Things. Really!

The other day the Gremlin was looking on the laptop. He's found that we frequent Kids Woot, and was looking for the "Track Mover" actually named Harvey. He found a collection of trains that included Harvey, and then turned to the Mother of the Gremlin.

"Momma, is Daddy going to buy those, hide them in his closet, and only show them to Grandma?"

"What do you mean, buddy?"

"You know, like Molly's talking station."

Sadly, there may not be a Gremlin update next week - the Gremlin has decided that talking to Daddy on the phone "makes [him] too sad, and [he] wants to cry." But rest assured, after that there will be numerous updates from the Gremlin's time in Seapple - including his first realization that he has a yard.

Favorite Toy of the Week:  Jeremy  

He's excited to 'ride Jeremy to Seapple to see daddy.'

Sure I Will ... It's Just A Question of How Much

This was back when 'Uncle Zach' was in town - the Gremlin was getting used to being toted to his destinations. So it was a surprise when the Father of the Gremlin informed the Gremlin he was tired.

"Okay buddy, I'm tired. Can you walk for a bit?"
"Sure daddy."

So I put the Gremlin on the sidewalk and stretched my back and arm out, while the Gremlin promptly turned around and walked the three steps over to Uncle Zach and put his arms up. He was hoisted up without so much as a word of protest, and the Gremlin returned to his accustomed spot on high.

Favorite toy of the week: Fellowes Small SmoothMove Moving Box, 10 Pack, 12 x 12 x 16 Inches

The Gremlin has spent the last two days taking anything given to him - such as toys, clothing, dinner, etc...  - and 'packing' it in a box, stating he was 'ready to go to Seapple.'

Kids Say The Darndest Things

The Gremlin has been spending waaaay too much time around his mother. We were talking yesterday when we had this little exchange.

"So, buddy, are you excited about moving to Seattle?"
"Um, no."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to live in the suburbs"
"Oh, buddy, Seattle's a city - not the suburbs."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it is a completely separate city than Chicago. It has suburbs, but it's a city."
"Oh, well, I guess I can live in Seattle then."
