I'm just a typical braggy sort of mom...

THIS POST WAS WRITTEN ON 5/1

I haven't written anything in my blog in almost 3 weeks...  Strange, since my mind's been as active as if I had.  What I mean to say is, I've been on a thought pattern that is so reminiscent of when I decide to write or when I get into a one-way conversation with my husband (who, thankfully, recognizes these times).

It's a shame, really, because I had *loads* of things to write about. 

Ah!  Yes.  Just when I thought it was safe to go back to being a disciplinarian, my son outdid himself yet again.  As of the last report, he had said to me "my mommy is my dream" when I asked him if he'd had "sweet dreams" the night before.  I have now been elevated to crazy levels of perfection:  he claimed in an impromptu song that (among his heart, his dream, his soul) I was his Holy Mary. 

I felt a rush of "we must correct this right away" rising towards my brain, but no.  I didn't.  Guilty as I may be of allowing myself to be so glorified, I shamelessly and selfishly let the moment pass, all the while noticing the triumphant look on his little face knowing, that yet again he had won and sold me over a million times.

Unfortunately, the next day I found him spraying the dog right after I had told him not to do that sort of thing (it's still too cool at night), so his new Game Boy got taken away for a week.  Well, it was actually more like 3 days, but he made up for it somehow.  I think.

So as not to make this journal "starring Mr. Charm", I have to say that our daughter has her moments of awesomeness too...  Hers are just different.  Although not the charmer, she does turn it on in a blatant way, to the point where we both get the giggles and this sort of bonding amazes me...  her sense of humor is so much older than her 6 years.
