Wine Riddle

If 4 oz of red wine has approximately 100 calories and there are 25- 28 oz to a bottle, does having a bottle 3 or 4 times a week make me an aspiring fat ass?

Answer: YES!

Solution: do not buy wine, if it is not in the house, you will not drink it...same rule we follow with regards to sweets.

I love when I press the EASY button on a solution!

I can almost hear the pounds melting off now.

Technology Fan

Remind mama to tell you what a technology nut you were, before u were even 2.

Now u ask for the iPAD(bapa) regularly. Reading stories on the ipad with mom and dad use to be enough to whet your appetite, now u like to have it all to yourself so you can peruse all your apps and movies. Favorite movies on the ipad, Cars and Finding Nemo. We just hand it to you and you navigate everything on your own....which may or may not be a good thing :(

Now that you have access to an ipad mom and dads iphone and the tv remote, hold no allure for you.

Learning words, fast and furious!

The average 20-month-old can learn ten or more words a day, but don't expect your toddler to utter all these words just yet. Now he's working on his ability to understand.

And even though we don't always understand which word he is using, he is adding new ones quite quickly.

When not learning new words, we are honing our technology skills via the iPad(or as Pax calls it the bapa). He knows how to quickly navigate his programs, turn up the volume and shoot emails to grandma and grandpa....ok well not really on the emails :)

Enter, the Step Stool....

unearthed from my closet(so I can reach all my shoes, kept up high) by the Pax man and dragged upstairs, to his room, this is now his favorite accessory. He steps onto it to look out his bedroom window, carries it to his bathroom so he can get up on it to wash his hands, brush his teeth and hair. He used to carry it down stairs to use at the kitchen sink, until he realized we keep another step stool in the laundry room, which he now uses for downstairs activities.

Who knew so much fun could be had from one step stool. Guess mama needs to buy one more, for her closet again :)
