Bananas

About once every three days, one of the boys will ask to hold the baby. I relish in these occurrences because they’re short and sweet. They love their sister and don’t show any jealousy, but they also don’t really show a lot of interest very often either. So any time they want to hold her for .02 seconds, I let them.

Yesterday, Sawyer seemed to take an extra amount of interest in her, and I’d catch him from time to time laying next to her on the floor and telling her she was “the very cutiest girl ever” while patting her head. (Yes, it was just as freaking adorable as it sounds.)

He asked to hold her and I obliged, snuggling her into his lap as he wrapped his skinny arms around her and buried his nose in her hair. She started to fuss, which immediately evoked a response of, “Mommy, this girl is hungry.”

“Is she? Can you feed her?”

“Nope. I can’t.”

“Well why not?”

And then. THEN. He raised his shirt, and with an expression of complete seriousness on his face, he said, “Because. I don’t have any bananas on my belly.”

Nursing = na-nas (Beckett’s old pet term) = bananas = me peeing my pants. Damn kegels.

And really, I don’t know whether to be proud that he’s paid that much attention, or horrified that my boobs have surrendered to gravity so horribly that he thinks they’re on my stomach.

    That is just SO darn cute!!! I don’t think it had anything to do with the location of the, um, bananas. I don’t think they differentiate between certain parts of the body until later, so everything on the front is “tummy”.

    My son is not 100% fascinated with his infant cousin yet, because he can’t do anything, so it’s not just your boys!

  7. get ur ex back

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  8. slow startup

    No one likes a Windows XP When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix remove startup programs.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you slow startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.If your pc has already been aged, don’t consider now it has to end up being replaced right away. You will see several things which can be done that can help boost windows xp slow startup.Time period is a essential aspect to consider whenever startup your comuter. It all should only need near 5 minutes to slow startup. If it normally takes too much time, you must look for methods to cleanup, repair and also maintain your computer.
