Things to remember

• There is a giant roach on the ceiling (too high for us to reach) and Milo just asked Curtis if the roach could come sleep with him  (EEEWWWWW!)

• He can read "Jesse Bear" and "I can Fly" with some help - so sweet.  Also, he sings all of "I'll Be there."

• He always asks me to stop singing "No Mommy singing!?!"  He's just like me - he wants to be The Star.  It kills me, though.  In all of my wildest dreams, when I imagined what rebellious things my child might do, I pictured him joining fraternities or being a big jock (things I wouldn't approve of but wouldn't disown him over or anything).  I never imagined that the worst thing he could do (so far) was dislike my singing!  I mean, what am I supposed to do now? 

• He also doesn't like when I drum on the steering wheel:  "No drumping, Mommy!"

• He likes to put on a party hat and sing Happy Birthday to everyone in the room (so, if there are five people in the room, we sing five times)

• I always call him Sweetie, so the other day I said "Okay, Kiddo, it's jammie time!" and he said "Oh Sweetie, no jammies!"
