Men in trees
One of Seth’s favorite things to do is climb the tree in our front yard. He loves to sit on his favorite branch then peer down at us “little people” as if to survey his kingdom. A few weeks ago, when he heard we’d need to trim some branches, he was worried he’d lose his prime spot. But his worry turned to extreme delight. Can you see why?
“Hey Mom,” he said excitedly. “It looks like I have a really big wiener! Take a picture! Take a picture!”
This, from a child who refuses to let me take pictures of him.
And do you see how he’s leaning back? As if to say “CHECK THIS THING OUT!” He did that on his own! (And now all of those pictures at Desperately Seeking** make so much more sense. It must be instinctual!)
Oy.

P.S. Am guest blogging at A Bun’s Life today while she enjoys (what is hopefully) some rest and relaxation. Oh and there’s a feature on Kim from Parachuting Without a Net on St. Louis Blogger’s Guild up as well.

OMG. Water. Out my nose.

BAHAHAHAHAHA…..
Marc must be so proud. And yes, it must be an instinct for males to strike that pose. I don’t think a girl Seth’s age would go, “Hey, I have really big boobs!” if she encountered two large balloons, and then stick her chest out toward them as if to claim them as part of her physique.

Ha. I totally didn’t notice his ’stump’ until you mentioned it.
Now I can’t stop laughing.

Oh boy. It does start early doesn’t it. All us non-penis-bearing folk can do is sit back and laugh, I guess. Be sure to save this picture, though, and “whip it out” at an opportune moment of embarassment!

That is too funny! I’m with Jill… hang on to this. It will come in very handy on prom night.

OMG! That is so funny. It’s amazing that a boy that age gets fascinated with the “size”. BTW - saw the photos of your family on Raquita’s blog, and I am just astonished at what a beautiful family you have!

Oh MY GOD! That’s hysterical. Puberty is going to be SUCH a disappointment for your boy.
By Gregg, July 19, 2008 @ 11:16 pm
Beth,
BOTH of my daughters have done exactly that. Of course, they put the balloons UNDER their shirt.
They weren’t flashing. We don’t roll like that in my household.

The girls are in deep, deep doo doo.

Hi Lisa - first of all, thank you SO much for reading my blog and commenting on it. I was so excited to see an outside person had checked it out. And I LOVE your blog. I’m flattered you came to mine.
Second of all - OMFG!!! This post almost ruined my keyboard as I spit my Diet Coke out in a Mount St Helens like-eruption. Luckily, I had the insight to turn away and douse mostly myself instead. But that is just dang funny. Thank you for a wonderful dose of Monday morning humor.

I understand adult men better than ever before now that I am the mother of a son.
They really are like that from BIRTH. Really.
*shakes head*

Totally didn’t notice the “pole” either - till you pointed it out. OMG, true form for a boy . . . still, you gotta love him!

Oh he cracks me up. Save that one to show to his first girlfriend…lol
Got your comment on my blog- let me check if my parents can watch Hope and I’ll let you know. I don’t know what they have planned and my mom’s been on vacation this week so I haven’t talked to her much.
By Isabel, July 23, 2008 @ 7:24 pm
Oh man…I LOVE SETH and his big wiener.
