A Thousand Words Thursday

January 29, 2009

Posted on Thursday~January 29th, 2009

On his 3rd birthday last summer, Miles received a bird bath from Grandma Mary.
His favorite part, of course–filling it up.

Speaking of Miles:
I’m stepping out of the shower recently and he comes flying into the bathroom,
stops short, stares at me and says,
“I like your butt and your boobers. And your squishy belly.”

Gee, thanks.

Wow, Heather, that’s HILARIOUS. Once I got out of the shower to find a visitor, too, who said, “Wow, mommy, you look pretty.” Oh boy, their fascination starts early, does it not? And the birdbath picture is adorable.

Lara January 29, 2009 at 11:05 am

So funny! I’m glad to know that squishy bellies are likeable. And boobers, that cracked me up. :)

Kristina P. January 29, 2009 at 11:16 am

I totally forgot how little boys stick their tongues out when concentrating! Too cute!

Annette Lyon January 29, 2009 at 11:43 am

*SNORT!*

Here I was all enjoying the cute little tongue sticking out, and then I get to the next part. Hahahaahaaa!

(Much cuter than when I had a 3-year-old tell me my tummy was big. Thaaaanks.)

Becky January 29, 2009 at 11:48 am

Boobers! Hee, hee!!

Riley used to call me his big fat mama. Nice.

♥georgie♥ January 29, 2009 at 12:03 pm

The Mom January 29, 2009 at 12:08 pm

Look at that face, the tongue says pure concentration!

Izzy 'N Emmy January 29, 2009 at 12:13 pm

That is a great gift! Seriously, I will have to keep that mind.

Oh, and love Miles’s comment. LOL!

Brooke January 29, 2009 at 12:34 pm

He’s so cute concentrating so hard to fill that bird bath up. My son has noticed my “boobers” too. I’m also glad to know that I’m not the only one with a squishy tummy. WHat a cutie.

Wendi @ Every Day Miracles January 29, 2009 at 1:05 pm

Boobers? We are so outnumbered in a house full of testosterone eh?

Kazzy January 29, 2009 at 1:16 pm

Hilarious! When boy #2 was 4 yrs-old I got him and his older brother down for a nap and then hopped in the shower. WHen I came out barely draped in a towel his little buddy was standing in the hallway. He had let himself in and woken up the boys to play. I just wrapped that towel around me and screamed for him to go home! No nakedness though. :) Funny little Miles.

blueviolet January 29, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Wow, how DOES one take that? Happily? lol

Heather January 29, 2009 at 1:46 pm

That is hysterical! I once got greeted by my son when I was changing pants and he said, “Wow Mommy, you have pretty knees!!” All I could say was Thanks! LOL!!!

What a fun bird bath! Probably keeps him busy for hours!

Megan@SortaCrunchy January 29, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Oh, Miles! You charmer, you!

That picture is pretty priceless. The tongue . . . gotta love the tongue.

Noob Mommy January 29, 2009 at 3:51 pm

I totally agree with the other posters… the tongue! And that determination in his face :) Sounds like he’s a real sweetie and good with words ;P Watch out ladies!

Rebecca January 29, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Hee hee hee, gotta take the compliments however they come, huh?

Too cute.

BluRayn January 29, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Love the tongue!!! And the shower scene…too funny!!

a Tonggu Momma January 29, 2009 at 5:32 pm

What’s not to like about boobers? :)

Melissa January 29, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Listen to how “out of it” I am.

I read this post and then I read the one below it. I thought the picture was of you, and I thought, “Where is Heather hiding the squishy tummy?”

I could never get my eans to stay that way. My niece and nephew did it all the time and they called it “pegging.”

I’ve just never been that cool!

RosyRose January 29, 2009 at 6:07 pm

Hey that’s better then most girls get:)He likes em, that’s a good thing:)

Faith January 29, 2009 at 7:10 pm

He’s very cute, the look on his face is priceless! Love his name, my DS is named Miles too.

Rach@In His Hands January 29, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Heh. Now that’s funny funny stuff. Thanks for the giggle.

MoziEsmé January 29, 2009 at 7:19 pm

He says what’s on his mind – that’s a good thing! A male communicator…

Tracey January 29, 2009 at 7:51 pm

Well.

Thanks, son. At least he LIKES them…

Jessica January 29, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Oh my that is hilarious! LOVE the adorable picture too!

Betty January 29, 2009 at 9:00 pm

That is too funny. If it makes you feel any better, my boys walked in on me while getting dressed and started laughing and in utter disgust yelled “MOM, GET SOME CLOTHES ON!!!” as if I was offending them!

Jenn January 29, 2009 at 9:33 pm

Why do children have to be so brutally honest?!

Heidi Ashworth January 29, 2009 at 9:53 pm

This is the second time I have been here today–I just love that picture! It looks so sunshiney and summery! I miss summer (I shouldn’t whine–it was 65 and sunny here today . .)

happygeek January 29, 2009 at 10:21 pm

Gotta love it eh.

Eowyn January 29, 2009 at 11:00 pm

~snickers~ and the picture is cute too.

Every time I comment on your blog I get this barely controllable urge to end everything with goose.

Goose!

Debbie January 29, 2009 at 11:12 pm

Oh my word! My kids call my belly my “squishy”. And try to keep in mind how old they are:)

Evolving Mommy Catherine January 30, 2009 at 12:21 am

Kids say the sweetest things, don’t they.

Kate January 31, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Kids are so funny. I am amazed at your blog and all of your love and kindness to others. I will be back. Great blog.

Heather,

This is Susan Godfrey from SimplySusanGodfrey.blogspot.com I’m donating all the income from my shop during the month of February to the Whitt family. Also, a group of digital scrapbook designers and I are getting together to create a huge digital scrapbook kit to sell to raise funds for the family, plus there is at least one other designer who’s going to donate her income for the month to the family. Anyway, I tried to contact them, but it was on the day that Tuesday passes and I really hate to bother them again at this time. Is there anyway you can send me their paypal address so we can get this money to them at the end of the month? You can email me at simply.susan.blog@gmail.com

I’m really wanting to help this family, as I know first hand the expenses involved and the worry it causes. We lost our son Gabriel in 2006 and if it weren’t for the friends we made on the internet, we never would have made it through. They did a similar fundraiser for us and it took care of all the final expenses. I really would like to help the Whitts out in any way that I can. Thanks a bunch!

CC February 1, 2009 at 4:24 pm

His comments are absolutely adorable. I guess they fit in well with my guest blog post from the other day :)

I’m sad I didn’t see your donation post for Tuesday’s family before comments closed. My thoughts and prayers are with them all the same.
