No self-esteem problems here!
S: “Mom, I’ve been thinking alot lately.”
Me: “What about?”
S: “Well, I just don’t know how anyone could not like me.”
Me: “Well, I don’t know how anyone could not like you either.”
S: “I know! Its like….Its IMPOSSIBLE to not like me!”
Me: “You’re right. You’re cute, cuddly, fun and you’re very kind to other people. You’re also very good at sharing and you’re a good friend. What’s not to like about that?”
S: “I know! And I’m good looking and I have LOTS of cool super powers!”
Me: (trying not to giggle.) “Oh and you’re very humble too.”
S: “Yeah. I sure am.”
Uh-huh.
P. S. Speaking of kids… There’s a review (on behalf of Parent Bloggers Network) of Hip Hop Harry’s “Move Those Feet” on Midwestern Mommy Reviews today. If you take care of tiny dancers, you might want to think about this dvd.
P.S.S.Did you know that your uterus can fall out? Yup. And when it does, it apparently looks like a scrotum. Oy! But you know what can go a long way in preventing that? Kegels. (You’ve just freaked out a little after reading that and you’re TOTALLY doing Kegels right now, aren’t ya? Me too! But that’s one of the nuggets we learned during that little campy-camp thingee in New Jersey. Plan to give you the lowdown very, very soon.)

What a sweetie that kid is! I love those little conversational snippets we get to re-read and enjoy again in the years to come!
I’m just wondering what set off his train of thought? Was there someone who said they didn’t like him? (If so, I’ll kick ‘em in the ankles..
)

What they might not have mentioned is that if you are genetically predetermined to have totally shitty pelvic floor tissues, your bottom will drop out even if you are the Empress of Kegels like me. SOB. How’s that for major suckage. Your son sounds exactly like my brother, and he turned out okay.

Anxiously awaiting alllll the fun details. Of the trip, not the uterus.
And something else Seth forgot: everyone should love him because he has you as his mama!

Oooh that is a cute kid!
I secretly wish my uterus would fall out…no more visits from that bitch Aunt Flo.

Super powers AND good-looking! Watch out world!

I love kids! They’re God’s gift to humanity!
Actually, I DID know your uterus could fall out, and I learned that in the most unlikely of places: In a capital murder trial! Long story…. hahha!!

Well, it’s hard to argue with him when he’s right! And I would love to hear what superpowers he has (you know, to compare them to mine…)

Kegels??!! You’ve scared me so bad I’m going to start wearing a sling down there, to catch it if it falls.
And what a dirty trick that it looks like a scrotum. Couldn’t it look like a Prada bag, or a yummy pastry?

Here in New Jersey, we are all about health education.

Conversations like that are AWESOME!! Like the day my son came home from school and said… “…there’s this girl at school… everybody knows she wants me, she just won’t admit it.” I waited until he left and laughed until I almost peed.

I popped over from Candid Yammerings because I said that I’d kick anyone’s butt that beat her up too!
So, the first post I read of yours was very interesting. The doctor that delivered my son said that I came close to delivering my uterus. She gave me an episiotomy and I tore, big time. Took over 40 stitches to sew me up! Gross huh? TMI, maybe? Anyway, I’m glad I found you and yes, I’m doing kegels!

That is so cute! I love that stage when they are so self-confident. Then the assholes get to them and poof goes the self esteem! Grr! Let’s hope his super powers protect him from that. Uterus falling out? Maybe since I had a c-section, I’m safe from that happening. Crossing my fingers anyway.

I did know your uterus could come out, because it happened to a friend of mine right after she delivered her baby. What did the OB do? Pushed it back in, with her FIST. Then, they gave her some Advil and sent her home from the hospital 2 days later. Women are so much stronger than men, I think my husband would die if one of his organs fell out.
