"I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon. The moon runs away. But imangine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We are born lucky. Yes, we are born lucky."
Ernest Hemingway - The Old Man and The Sea
"Man can be destroyed but not defeated." Ernest Hemingway - The Old Man and The Sea
"You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason."
Ernest Hemingway - A Moveable Feast
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it." Thomas Jefferson
May 21 6 YEARS OLD!Can you believe that our Spiderman is turning 6?! I can't.
It has been an amazing 6 years - so many accomplishments! And we feel so lucky to have him in our lives.
He is a miracle and to this day I wonder how it happened. The only explanation is that he was meant for us!
"We love you, no matter what. Never forget it." - your parental unit.
He thinks he is having a "Ben 10" party... I have no idea what that is... what he is having is dinner at Red Robin with a friend!!
May 18 Ring BearerThis week-end we went to a wedding.
Spiderman was given the honors to be the Ring Bearer! He took his job very seriously and could not wait for the big day. I think he was just as excited as the bride.
"Mom, can I wear my Marine uniform?" he would plead.
Me: "no, we need to keep nice and clean for the wedding."
"Please, please, I promise I won't mess it up!"
Me: "still no."
And finally the big day came. We were all very nervous but Spiderman kept his cool and did a really good job. We are so proud of you!
Let's not forget the Maid of Honor, also the bride's sister, on whom he has the biggest crush! He did talk to all the bridesmaids, which was really funny to watch. We told him he needs to go ask them for a dance: "Spiderman, you need to ask them this: May I have this dance?" "No thank you, I am going to ask them if they want to exercise with me. Do push ups or sit ups."
Us: "oh, ok, that sounds like fun..."
And on he went, very sure of himself and very proud as well.
We've noticed Spiderman has a style... yes, all the girls he really likes have a darker complexion and are usually brunettes and most of the time are much older than him!!
NationalsWe went to a Nationals Baseball game yesterday.
We met up with family, which was really nice! Luckily for Spiderman some of his cousins were there.
Die Hard Phillies' Fans!
May 15 Wanting to be older...Last night during dinner Spiderman was talking about the teenagers he knows who babysit him and proclaimed:
"Mom, you know I can babysit?"
No, I had no idea. Do you think you can babysit Master M.?
"Yes, of course I can!"
Oh, so what do you do if Master M. cries?
Dread Pirate yells across the room: "I wanna Rock!"
"I rock him or pick him up and walk around."
What kind of food does he eat?
"He drinks some kind of liquid, milk."
Can you change his diaper?
"Yes, I can. You just open his diaper and wipe."
Have you watched Ms. C. do it?
"Yes, I have. That's how I know how to do it."
Very good...
So, C. looks like Spiderman knows what he is doing!! May 13 Boy oh boyThe trials and tribulations of a 5 1/2 almost 6 year old boy.
Spiderman and I were at a birthday party tonight.
He was being rude and impolite almost the entire time.
Finally I had had enough, it was time to come home.
All of sudden the sweet Spiderman that I know turned into Black Spiderman right in front of my eyes. I could not believe it!
There is a dark side to every superhero.
So when we cam home I politely asked Black Spiderman to pack his bag and find a new home - I lost the Real Spiderman, I tell him. The black one needs to go.
"No mom, no, I don't want to go. The Black one was just a ghost, the Real one came back. I am sorry I was so rude and I am sorry for talking back. I just want to go back to the party."
Well, the party is over for you and it is time for a bath and then bed. |
