this'll help me stick to my diet

not by the big d.

big d's dad has one hand. little kids are not shy about asking questions, which d's dad always graciously answers. one of the preschool classmates was having a discussion with d's dad about this and after several questions about it he asked,

"did donovan's mommy eat your hand?"

ha.

donovan did not write a christmas post. he wanted to and he meant to, but he was so busy playing with all his toys he never got around to it. there was church, santa, food, love. the usual. xmas pageant. you know.

after giving me (mommy) a hug he said, "i am glad you're fat. that's how i know you're a mommy."


"i love you mommy. i love your pimples and moles."


after reading a book that involved a wishing pebble. i asked d. if you had a wishing pebble, what would you wish for?" this little 3 year old dreamer replies, "i wouldn't wish for nothin'. just love"


mommy was on the phone with the on call nurse because d. was throwing up green. i posed one of her questions to him, so the nurse could hear his answer thru the phone. "did you eat anything yucky today?" "yes," he replied, serious as can be...."i had to eat old leftover broccoli out of the garbage because my mommy wouldn't gie me dinner."
