The Merry Mobile

"Buddy, It's the Marination Mobile!"
"What is that?"
"Something Daddy really likes. I'm going to call him."
"Why?"
"Because Daddy's going to come."
"Oh, I'm so escited, Daddy's coming! Lets go to merry mobile!"

The Mother of the Gremlin walked across the street, with toddler in tow, and realized it's just a pig van.

"Wheres Daddy?"
"Oh, Daddy's not coming."
"Why not?"
"Because its not the Marination Mobile."

After walking another block, the Gremlin turned to his mother.

"Mommy, look its the merry mobile!"
"Where?"
"Don't look, Momma, just dial."

Picture Update

The Gremlin recently went to visit some furry new friends


And I think they tuckered him out

 The Gremlin hasn't had too much going on recently, but this weekend should provide ample video opportunities as he is getting more and more vocal. Until then, we leave you with the Gremlin reading Good Night Chicago

Wisdom of a 3 and 1/2 Year Old - On Sleep and Beds

"Target? Oh, they have a sleep number bed there."
"What did you say buddy?!"
"They have sleep number beds there - like they have on Qubo Channel. It's where you have a room, and a thing with a sleep number. And you get the best sleep of your life."

Maybe He Can't Read

At the park a few days ago, we noticed there was something off about the Gremlin. It took us a while to place it as he was running, screaming, pretending to be a fire truck as usual. Finally, we realized that whenever he tripped or played with something near his head, it just stayed there - even after he wasn't holding it any more.

Upon further inspection, we determined the Gremlin had several leaves, a bug, wood chips, and 13 cents in assorted change stuck to his face, hair, hands, and legs. While I may have been slightly excited by the prospect of the Gremlin finally bringing me money for a change, the Mother of the Gremlin stopped me from getting the glue out and doing a 'touch up' on our little darling.

After cleaning him off, we guessed that the Gremlin was playing around in the back yard and had gotten sap all over him.

The next day, we asked the Gremlin to get ready to go to the park, and it was only accidentally that we walked in on him.

Instead of using the sunscreen, the Gremlin had mistakenly picked up a glue stick, and was thoroughly applying it to his forehead, cheeks, arms, legs, and neck.

Wisdom of a 3 and 1/2 Year Old - On Fixing, Spanish, and Having a Tough Life

"Sorry buddy, there's something wrong with the computer. I can't figure it out." The Gremlin, sitting on his mothers lap, thought about this before speaking.
"DADDY! COME FIX THE COMPUTER! PLEASE!"


That evening, the Mother of the Gremlin was trying to get the Gremlin to speak Spanish.
"Tiene sueno?" Are you tired?
"No thank you sueno."
"Don't you mean 'no tengo sueno?'"
"No, no thank you sueno!"


"It's hard to be 3 and 1/2. My daddy almost yelled at me!"
