Jack just started playing soccer at preschool last week and he is a fanatic about it. Wednesday is soccer day so I got him out of bed by announcing it was time to get ready for soccer. He quickly got up and was ready to put on his "soccer clothes" and "soccer shoes". And that is the set-up for the following exchange:
Me: Jack, what do you do when you play soccer?
Jack: I kick the ball, I shoot it into the net and ...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAT!
(silence)
Me: Do you mean "goal"?
Jack: No Mommy, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOAT!
Me: Ummmm...Jack, I think it is "goal" with a "g". Guh, Guh, Guh, like in "gorilla". Can you say "gorilla"?
Jack: Gorilla. Guh, guh, guh.
Me: Right, good job. Now what do you do when you play soccer?
Jack: I kick the ball, I shoot it into the net and... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAT!
Close enough.

Emerging from the depths of motherdom
Egad! Could it really have been three weeks since my last post? Thats just ghastly, but my final words from that ring true.
First Alex started throwing up. Then Jack got it and began vomiting and diarrhea. Jack got better and went back to school, but Alex couldn't shake it. Finally found that she had a UTI (FYI, holding down your child to help them put in a catheter is a horrible experience). Treatment: antibiotics for 10 days. And the side effects of antibiotics is...you guessed it, diarrhea. So Alex stayed out of daycare until we departed for Dallas for her baptism. Probably close to 2 weeks out of daycare in total.
Ms. Alexandra took center stage last weekend as we took her up to Dallas for her baptism. She was stunning in her great-grandmother's dress (no, not the one in this picture, that is the slip) and decided that she agreed with the solemnity of the occasion and never cracked even the slightest smile during the entire ceremony.
She fell asleep as we walked out after the service, having given her all to be cute. Then she woke up just in time for the party afterwards to charm everyone around her.
Big brother Jack looked dapper and did a wonderful job of looking after his little sister.
Now I am off to take Alex to the doctor for another catheter-assisted test since they have to test her kidneys for any damage.
What's the limit on significant events you can put in one blog entry?
