Memories and Food

Do all 4 year olds have INCREDIBLE memories? Last year, at the end of September, Xander was barely 3 years old. We took him to the fair & he asked my mom why she didn't want to ride the rides. She told him that rides make her sick to her stomach. He dropped it... never mentioned it again....UNTIL TONIGHT! Okay...so that was a year ago...now tonight at dinner we were talking about the rides at the Coweta Fall Festival (going on this weekend), and he says, "Ya-Ya can't ride the rides though because it makes her sick to her stomach!" How on earth does he remember that? There are many examples where he remembers insane things from over a year ago.... it floors me! Do all kids this age have this kind of memory? And if so.... when is it that we grow up so much that we lose our minds & remember nothing????

He made us laugh tonight....another cute quip from Xander....My mom had a bumble bee on her shirt. He pointed it out and said, "Bumblebees can hurt us because they have a pokey thing on their bottoms!" We just laughed...as seen from a 4 year old's perspective... he doesn't understand the "correct" phraseology...so he says it like he sees it... it is a "POKEY THING!"

I went to see Julie & Julia again tonight. Now, ordinarily, I wouldn't see a movie twice (full priced) in the theater. I may go 2 times if it is at the $1 theater; otherwise, I just wait until it's out on DVD. BUT my mom and MIL wanted to see it, so we thought a "girl's night" would be fun. I think I loved the movie more this time than the first. It was so good. I just can't say enough how much I think Meryl Streep actually became Julia Child. She completely personified her character & NEEDS to win many awards! I can't wait to see it again and again... plus, seeing it makes me want to cook fun recipes! My mind starts whirling about all the fun things I can throw together! I WILL NOT BONE A DUCK, though!!

Bella cut her first tooth yesterday! FINALLY!! Jonathan cut 2 in the same week- 6 weeks ago! We've been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for her's to cut!

Thanks for reading! Until next time.............
