D-ism #...idk

So, the other day - my adorable grown up boy in a child's body - comes up to me and says; and I quote:

"hey mom, can you do me a solid and get me a popsicle...thanks chicky! (insert wink, wink)" and runs off to finish his latest mission with all of his Army and Police guys.

A...Solid?? I wasn't sure what this meant at first and therefore I had to ask my 15 year old neice, Tori. For those of you not up to par with the "lingo" this statement translates to "...can you do me a big favor..." When did this statement/question, whatever you want to call it, get changed?? I was NEVER notified so I am pretty sure I am among the un-cool that still say "...do me a big favor..." but I am pretty sure people still know what I mean! Sheesh!! And let's not forget about the "chicky" part! When did I become "c-h-i-c-k-y" funny, I thought I was m-o-m?!? Oh gosh, I am not sure when it happened...but it did...and I am worried for myself!!!

WOW! TTFN

GIANTS!!

Dominic had his very first, EVER T-Ball practice yesterday. It was THE cutest thing I have seen (since the last cutest thing I saw him do :)). His team is the SF Giants. I find that so ironic considering these are probably the tiniest little boys I have ever seen!!! To cute!! Anyway, here are some pics I took from his practice:

Here we go boys!!

Dominic acting as pitcher and...the pitch

Up to bat for the 1st time as a GIANT! And...it's good! Um...where ya headed?!?! 2nd base is the other way!! LOL!!! Run home Forest, run home!! LOL!!! Bless his heart, he was just-a-runnin'! Oh, dear!!

Practicin' the slide!

After the players were dismissed, D said "mom, can I go talk to the coach" and I said "sure, what do you need to tell him" and he said "oh, I will tell you in a minute." So he runs down to the field and I look over to see them givin' a high-five to each other (of course I missed that Kodak moment! :() and then he runs back. I said "what did you need to tell him baby" and he says "oh, just...thanks for the game coach!" Is that not the cutest thing you have EVER heard...in your entire long legged life (except for the last cutest thing he said :))?!?!

Great 1st practice, mousch!!! I can't wait for the games to begin! I know you will be the all-star that you are with everything else!!! I love ya like no body's business!!!!!!

Ain't Nothin' Better....

than having your adorable, gorgeous, unbelievably stunning little 5 year old boy look at you while you are adjusting the rear view mirror and say..."mom...you are just beautiful". Now tell me how I can have a bad day after that!?! ...oh that's right...promptly having to drop him off at day care and come to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and...

I cut my hair...OFF...short...bye-bye...gone...I...yeah!
