So, No Way

Lily has been picking up some fun new words. Yesterday, it seems every sentence began with the word so...

So...Mommy, do you want to go to the playground?
So...Mommy, I'm thirsty.

It was extremely funny. When I take the time to read what I have written on my blog before I hit the publish button, I have to take out about ten instances of the word so.

She also picked up the phrase NO WAY! Instead of saying no, she now says NO WAY.

We had a great Halloween, lots of fun. We had a block party-pot luck dinner, followed by trick or treating. Lily lasted about 20 minutes, just around our street. We then went in the house and I traded her trick or treat candy for some homemade candy that was OK for her to eat. My friend went to all the trouble of making it for Lily from scratch.

Lily is not used to having sugar. She had two pieces of candy and went bonkers. We went outside with Dad to hand out the candy, Lily ran around like the Energizer Bunny. It looked like she was drunk. Her speech was incredibly loud and fast, every sentence beginning with the obligatory so...

I need to find a candy donation site to get rid of all the chocolate in my house before my head explodes.

While news of our next assignment could come any day now, the final deadline is in two weeks.

SO... two weeks is the longest I will have to wait to find out where I will be living five months from now.

I have become addicted to real estate websites, dreaming the dream of someday owning a home.

Happy Halloween!

for the first time, griffin crashed from all his candy. i'm certain it's because we let him have it late at night.

now, christmas. CHRISTMAS. we learned our lesson -- no candy in stocking because thy day will be ruined with thine sugar. thine sugar is sent from the devil.

i think i need to go to bed.

yes way! my son went through a long phase where most of his sentences began with "Actually..."

last christmas he snagged a stocking full of hershey's kisses, dragged it to a hidden place, and ate them all. the next morning he threw up for four hours. he learned the hard way that he has to spread the joy of candy out a bit.

So i have the So disease also. So i tend to try and start pretty much every sentence with it. So i have to go back and edit fiercely.

Capello: thine sugar is the bane of my existence, it totally messes with my head and makes me crazy, yet I cannot stop.

Mamadaisy: Actually, I love it. I am glad your son was able to learn about the evil of sugar, me, so far not that smart.

Meno: Glad Lily and I are in good company with the so issue!
