Owenisms

Owen is just so much fun to talk to lately. Okay, I should qualify that. Most of the time he's fun to talk to. He has definitely hit the stage where he knows everything and you know nothing. Anyway, the other day he was watching a Spiderman show and called me in to ask who one of the characters was...

Owen: "Mommy, is that the Green Lantern?"
Me: "I think it is... wait, no, actually I think that's a bad guy, but I don't know his name."
Owen: "Yeah, that is a bad guy. Don't worry, I know Spiderman will destroy him"

Destroy him??? Since when does he talk about bad guys being destroyed? Maybe I'm indulging this superhero obsession a little too much.

Yesterday he was upstairs painting and after a while he came downstairs and said, "Mommy alot of people at my school have colored nails so I thought I would color mine too!"

Luckily I managed to explain to him, in a very convincing way, why he had to wash it off. I won't lie, I was tempted to let him keep it on so I could show his teachers.

He just seems to constantly surprise me lately. He's becoming such a big boy and I'm not sure I like it. He hardly ever plays with my hair anymore, one of my favorite habits of his, and when he gets hurt he rarely wants me to hug him. I know, poor me.

Yesterday he drew with chalk on the driveway. Here are his drawings of Batman (inside the big circle) and a bat (inside the smaller circle on the left).


Then he went inside and got his coloring pages so he could find a picture of Robin to copy.

So creative, right??

Anyway, for those of you who haven't yet seen these pictures from Easter, here's a treat.
This is a great picture of all of us. I couldn't get Katie to keep her hands down.

In this picture of Katie and Owen, Owen is growling. We tried to get him to smile but he insisted that something smelled. None of us listened to him but it turned out he was right. Katie was poopy. That's probably why her smile is so big!
