Undead bunnies?

Superhero: Mommy, when is Easter?
Me: Well, this is still March, but it will be April on Friday, and Easter is near the end of April this year, so about a month.
Superhero: I like Easter. Easter is when the Easter bunny rises from the dead and hides Easter eggs.
*stunned silence*
Superheo: Really, my teacher told me that.
Me: Superhero, are you sure you didn't misunder--
Superhero: NO, Mommy, I'm sure, I was LISTENING!! She said the Easter bunny rises from the dead and hides all the Easter eggs for all the boys and girls to find!
Hubby: I don't care if that's what she said or not. That is AWESOME.

Oh, if only the world were perfect . . .

Artist & Superhero stayed with mom yesterday while John & I took Fighter with us house hunting. We discovered very quickly that Fighter LOVES being an 'only child'. Our boys don't get to have both parents to themselves very often--we endeavor to make sure they all get one on one time on a regular basis, but it's pretty difficult to arrange time with both of us. We've also discovered that the boys enjoy it different amounts--Superhero likes it, but also likes time to himself, Artist enjoys it for just a few minutes then starts asking where his brothers are. Fighter, though, just blossomed with both of us at his beck and call. He's been working so hard lately, and making amazing progress. We're going to have to figure out a way to give him more of the 'only child' time he enjoys so much.

Hungy boy

A few days ago, Fighter looked at me, rubbed his belly, and said 'Hungy, mama, hungy!" This is the first time in his 3.5 years that Fighter has TOLD us he needed something. Some times, it's the little things. But more often, those little things are HUGE--you just need to look at them from the right angle.

Vegetarians take care of animals . . .

Superhero: So that's what sushi is! It's raw fish!
Me: Not all sushi is raw, and not all of it is fish. Aunt Tabitha likes some sushi, and she's a vegetarian.
Superhero: Aunt Tabitha is a vegetarian?
Me: Yes, and so is Zara.
Superhero: Zara is a vegetarian? She is an animal doctor?
Me: That's a veterinarian. A Vegetarian doesn't eat meat.
Superhero: Oh, THAT kind of vegetarian! I wondered what an animal doctor had to do with sushi . . .
