As I came home from the gym this evening, I was welcomed with the lovely sounds of chatty V… Currently Little Man is babbling away and excitedly says ‘Mama’ and ‘Dada’ when either of us enter a room.
It pretty much melts my heart every-time he calls me ‘Mama’ in such an excited tone of voice. If I wasn’t sure how devoted I was to him, hearing ‘mama’ uttered on a regular basis has turned me into the ultimate baby slave. Since I already was (as is the whole family) this is more of a public confession than a realization.
Am I spoiling him? Who cares. M and I love watching him explore and he has free rein of the apartment (within reason, that is).
Every morning when Daddy and V go to the park, M encourages him to climb all over everything. Like he is a mountain goat. I have seen it…. I don’t play like that. I play Mummy-games. Those type of games are more ‘Let’s read a book’ type of games…. things along that line.
Daddy games involve smashing things. And throwing things. Violent stuff. Please God, I would like a daughter too….
*Ahem*
Anyways…my big confession of the evening started out with dinner. M made turkey burgers. So good.
Paired with Tater-tots. Also good. Perhaps not as healthy.
As I confront M with that very statement, he immediately got quite defensive. “Jame. It’s just potatoes…. There’s no fat at all”.
I dared to argue with him . Tater-tots do not fall into a healthy category with me. They fall into a delicious category. That’s a little bit different.
Well, my ‘healthy’ confrontation resulted in M storming to the freezer and that was followed by a detailed recitation of the complete health list. “Jame, they are 0% fat… Only 150 calories per 18 pieces. AND I baked them. Jame. Healthy.”
I followed this recital with laughter. M was not amused. I was.
Dear, darling daughter…you are too funny!
M. does not stand a chance with that logic…poor sweetie pie…!
My golf friend is trying to lose 20lbs…she has decided to eliminate potatoes completely!
O…and bread…poor dear…but, it’s working!!

I love those little tater things – maybe they are not even real potatoes! You guys win the prize for the most fun parents – little V will be bringing all his friends to your house. Makes me want to have kids again…hmmm on second thought maybe just visit the kids again.
