Recently, I was not feeling well in the morning and got really sick at work after lunch. The email (subject line: Hey Babe, Just a Reminder) began as him reminding me that he had a late meeting and wouldn't be home until around 7 and some other mundane things. And then proceeds as follows:
Me: Ok. I was going to make salmon cakes for dinner, but I'm thinking about just grabbing something on the way home for Jackson. Maybe tacos. something easy. I don't feel well. Very nauseated. Good luck with the meetings.
John: Sorry you don’t feel well. Don’t make anything special on my account.
Me: (Totally JOKING!) I didn't feel well this morning either....it's definitely a boy. I haven't felt this way since my 16 weeks of morning sickness with Jackson :) My best guess is that we can be expecting Hudson John sometime in March.
John: If that is the case I will love him just like the others, but will be scheduling my Vasectomy shortly after the first of the year when my sick time renews. That being said, we might as well name him Jesus, or Trojan failure, whichever you feel is more appropriate. J
Me: I think that Trojan Jones has a nice ring to it. Trojan Failure Jones, Trojan Jesus Jones or Trojan John Jones will work.
Teenage and adult boys are not the only boys who act silly around girls. Apparently it's genetically wired and starts young. Friends of ours come over with their kids to hang out a couple of Saturdays ago. Dominick (6, almost 7) was hanging out with their daughter who is 8 and very pretty. They were all playing and at some point she comes downstairs and asks if I took Dominick and a girl to see a PG-13 movie? I told her no. She proceeds to tell me that Dominick said that I would take the 2 of them to see a PG-13 movie and not tell her parents. And that I have done this in the past for him with another girl. I think it's fantastic that he thinks I'm that cool! Although I'm not. But I'm definitely cooler than his dad in his book and at this point I'll take it :) He also told her that a girl at his school went into the boys bathroom and kissed him....definitely looked down upon at his private, christian school. He was really working it, trying to impress this older girl. It's pretty funny.
I also thinks it's funny that my kids don't quite get how the baby monitor works...basically that it's not a walkie talkie and I can hear everything going on upstairs over it. This past weekend we were getting ready to go to the Rangers game for Dominick's birthday. We were not taking Vettori because of the heat, so our babysitter was coming over to watch her. She walks in the door and I hear, over the monitor, Dominick telling his friend about how pretty his babysitter is and how his friend has to go see her. So they both poke their heads over the stairs and Dominick is pointing at her. They go back upstairs and they are talking about how pretty she is and how they love her. And then Dominick comes down to tell her that his friend thinks she is pretty and is in love with her. Little boys are so weird!!
Look out ladies...Dominick Jones is on the prowl....no one is safe!
At the Ranger game Jackson is very into the entire experience. He loves it! He liked the "Let's go Rangers" chant the best. He kept yelling it. At one point he stands up and turns toward the crowd behind us in Center Field and starts yelling Let's Go Rangers and clapping. They start doing it with him and pretty soon the entire stadium is yelling it. Jackson officially started the chant in Center Field! He was so excited. The look on his face was priceless. I didn't get that one on video, but here's a little video of one of the times he was yelling it. Sorry it's sideways, I can't figure out how to change it. I know he sounds special, but that's just how he sounds when he sings or yells and it makes my heart smile he's so stinkin cute.
Until next time....
