Ummm ... okay.
Ole: "Mama ... did you know that I just tasted my ear wax ... and you know what?!"
Me: "What?"
Ole: "It's really sour..."

When he's a rebellious teenager ... he'll listen to Barry Manilow

On the car ride to camp this morning ...
Ole: "Mama ... put on Black Sabbath.'
Me: "Ok."
Me: "Ok."
Ole: "I wanna hear War Pigs."
Me: "Ok ... is this it?"
Ole: "No. That's The Wizard."
Me: "Is this it?"
Ole: "Yeah ... that's War Pigs."

This kid is gonna be trouble...
He was pretty grumpy when he woke up yesterday morning ... and here's why: he told me he had a dream that he saw the most beautiful girl. He said she was really pretty. She kissed him. He liked it.
He was grumpy though ... because he said he wanted to see her again. Needed to see her again.
Who knew he was so passionate???

I didn't ask him to elaborate...
My mom and I were talking about how I've lost some weight ... and Ole says,
"Since you're not so fat ... you should give your fat clothes to your fat friends."
"Since you're not so fat ... you should give your fat clothes to your fat friends."

More Ole Wisdom
Ole: "I wish I was a crow."
Me: "Why?"
Ole: "Because I could fly and eat dead squirrels in the street."
Me (trying to stifle laughter): "I see"
Ole: "Also because I could land on electrical wires and not get any electric on me."

Ole said all of this before 9am today...
"I am the king of drawing butts."
"Look, mama I drew a penis. No wait ... actually I drew a whistle! I can draw whistles!"
"I'm never gonna get married because I'm not that girly."
"I love Luke more than space."
"I want to go to the beach ... and look at the ocean as far as the eye can see."

It seemed normal at the time...
In the car ... driving out of the parking garage at work ... on our way to an event ...
Diana: "Remind me to put my shirt on when we get there."
Me: "Okay."
Diana: "Remind me to put my shirt on when we get there."
Me: "Okay."

Because he's so advanced...
Words Luke says:
Mama
Papa
ball
hi
banana
flower
He has started walking ... and by walking I mean he takes a few steps at least once a day.
He pushes toy cars around and makes car sounds.
He flies toy airplanes and makes plane sounds too.
Everytime an airplane or helicopter flies overhead ... he points and says something which I'm sure means airplane in his brain.
He also loves his brother SO much ... even when he's asleep on the couch:

How do these two questions get confused?
Becky: "What time is it"
Me: "6:13"
Becky: "No. I mean ... what's your zip code?"
Me: "6:13"
Becky: "No. I mean ... what's your zip code?"

Master storyteller...
Ole has figured out that he can lie.
I don't think he even knew it was a possibility before. Then ... suddenly it occurred to him that he has the ability to NOT tell the truth.
When I picked him up from chess class today, a little girl came up to me and said Ole told her there had been a fire at his house. She wondered if it was true. I told her no ... he was telling stories. Then she went on to rattle off a list of things he's told her. I'm not even sure I can remember all the lies he told her, but I'll try.
That rug burn on his forehead ... he told her he was injured in the fire.
His cat died.
We live in San Francisco and he takes BART to school.
His mom is in the hospital (that's me!).
Jeez ... that's not even the half of it, but I can't remember any more right now.
What have I done wrong???

Six going on sixteen
So I'm in the other room ... getting Luke ready for bed. Ole and Rune are arguing in the kitchen.
Rune is telling Ole it's time to get his pajamas on ... to which Ole says: "Blah." Rune repeats his request about the PJs ... to which Ole says: "Blah."
hahahhahahahaaaa

Because he's a boy...
Me: "Ole, what happened to your head?"
Ole: "What are you talking about?"
Me: "Did you fall or bump your head or something? There's a big mark on your forehead."
Ole: "Oh ... I was on the rug in my class and then I started rubbing my head in a circle on the floor."

fairy failure
We are horrible, horrible parents.
Ole lost a tooth yesterday and dutifully put it under his pillow last night.
The tooth fairy DID NOT COME. shit shit shit.
FUCK! We totally forgot. I'm not sure if there's anything worse than this.
Rune told him the tooth fairy must be running late. I debated just telling him the truth, but he is a total believer, so I told him the tooth fairy is probably bringing him something extra special and needed more time. That way I can buy a guilt-toy today ... the fairy can leave him tonight.
We are total failures.

multi-racial family
Ole: "None of us are african-american, right?"
Me: "Right."
Ole: "Except Piper ... because he's black."
Me: "Right."
Ole: "Except Piper ... because he's black."

ummm ... thanks?
So I walk in the door yesterday after work ... and am greeted by my beautiful boys. Ole welcomes me with this ...
"Mama ... I like your dress."
" Thanks, Ole."
" You're not fat. Remember how I said before that you are fat? Well you're not"
"Mama ... I like your dress."
" Thanks, Ole."

Why today is great...
Not only is it MY BIRTHDAY ...
Diana made me a birthday card that features a capybara.
I got a cake from the morning crew at work.
Rune sent me a dozen roses.
Pete bought me a cheeseburger and fries for lunch.
I got another cake from the afternoon crew at work.
I'm not sure it could get any better...

This is one of the runs Ole skied with his dad at Kirkwood on Saturday. Maybe it's just me ... but it looks pretty scary.
He rocks!

Ahhh ... public school
Me: Did you behave in school today?
Ole: No. I was in time-out.
Me: Why?
Ole: Because I was rude.
Me: How were you rude? What did you do?
Ole: I kept saying chee chee* and sex.
Me: Who did you learn those words from?
Ole: Nisiah. He says chee chee all the time. And he says Zaire is sex.
* I learned yesterday that chee chee means penis...
Ole: No. I was in time-out.
Me: Why?
Ole: Because I was rude.

Luke's first fat lip
Can you see it? It's there on the corner of his upper lip. His hand slipped off his chair as he was pulling himself up ... and smack!

Ole's report card
I promise this is verbatim. I haven't embellished at all.
Ole is a wonderful child. He is still a little wild, flopping himself on the rug for mysterious reasons, but he is also very focused when working, delightfully curious, and very kind and sensitive. His strengths are his positive attitude, natural brilliance, confidence, and good verbal communication skills. He is doing very well and I am sure will continue to do so.

A not so subtle message?
Luke was playing with these magnetic letters yesterday ... and this is what I found when he was done.
Do you think he's trying to tell me something???

Do they make muzzles for kids???
Cuz if they do ... I need one.
Ole has started copying me.
Remember when you were a kid ... and you wanted to annoy someone ... you would parrot everything they said? Well ... he's doing that ... AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!
Me: "Ole ... stop jumping on the couch."
Ole: "Ole ... stop jumping on the couch."
Me (giving him a very stern look): "I mean it Ole. Stop jumping on the couch."
Ole (not at all intimidated): "I mean it Ole. Stop jumping on the couch."
Me (trying not to strangle him): "Ole, stop that. DO NOT talk to me that way."
Ole (still not at all intimidated): "Ole, stop that. DO NOT talk to me that way."
This is making me insane...

Ahhh ... the love of my life.
Rune: "Have you figured out yet what you want for Valentine's day?
Me: "Ummm ... no."
Rune: "Well ... whatever it is ... I better be able to get it at Safeway, because that's the only place I'm going today."
Me: "Ummm ... no."
Rune: "Well ... whatever it is ... I better be able to get it at Safeway, because that's the only place I'm going today."
