lights out

today, panzer had his first power outage.  this is when mommy learned that the only time he has ever seen a candle is on a birthday -- and he is not above running up to your birthday cake in the middle of the singing to rob you of the joy of blowing out your own candles.

much bodily injury was threatened to keep the candles lit...

Healthy

Today, panzer did a little health screening while i drank coffee and ate a donut in the Safeway.  Mostly he likes the Spanish-SPEAKING lady who reads the directions to him.

mohs mohs bo bohs

today, panzer discovered the name game.  pat on the back for mommy listening to oldies, instead of mind-numbing disney radio.  it created 15 additional minutes of entertainment so far.

p's obvious favorite is mohs -- he says "let's try mohs" every other time.

mohs mohs bo bohs
banana fana fo fohs
me mi mo ohs
moo-oohs

gifts

today, panzer and i were running through all of his blankets and friends and puzzles and who gave them to him (because he is beyond spoiled by all his grandmas, aunties, friends, etc.... so everything came from somewhere.)

then he asked:  what gave me you, mommy?

what a sweet way boy.  granny todd and papa tom gave me to you, p.

dishwashin'

today, panzer told me he did not want me to put his sippy cups in the dishwasher.  he wants them washed by hand in the sink.

ok, princess.

pedal to the metal

today, panzer told me to slow down.

we were driving home from the babysitter in the truck, and the conversation went like this:

p:  mommy, i want you to go slow.  don't go fast.
mommy:  panzer, it's rude to be a backseat driver.  even when you're in the front seat.
p:  don't go fast, it's a speed bump!  go slow.  push on that one with your foot.
mommy:  you mean this one ... the brake pedal?
p:  yes!  push on that one and go slow.
mommy:  (obeying and thinking okaaaaay, how do you know what a brake pedal is?)

into the jungle

today, panzer was paying attention while we drove through a particularly lush area of cottonwood -- enough to ask "mommy, is there a snake in that jungle?"

he continues to amaze.  how does he know what a jungle is?  we live in arizona!  and how does he know a snake lives in a jungle?  again, we live in arizona!  (and snakes live in the dirt here!)

TWO.

today, panzer woke up and said "mommy, i have two holes."

mommy:  oh yeah?  where are they?
p:  in my nose.

boogers

today, panzer asked me "what's that on your nose, mommy?"

it was a booger.  at least i know i won't be allowed out of the house looking foolish.

view from the top

today, panzer showed me his mint.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(p.s. can't beat the skull jeans and monkey boots... stylin')
