The strangest thing Andy thought I 'stole' from him

When Andy loses something or discovers it missing, he gets this traumatized look and wails,"It GONE!  My ':ice cream cone, cookie, etc.:' GONE!"
Most of time its because he handed Mom the ice cream cone, cookie, etc and she ate it.  Well, what would you do with a half-eaten ice cream cone melting in your hand?  Only now she knows to save that last little bite so he can eat it.
Anyway, one warm Sunday we got out the pool and he discovered how to make mud.  He was running back and forth with his little cup of water from the pool to the rose garden.  Then came nap time.  When he got up he immediately went out to the garden.  What! No Mud!  We must have taken it!  "It GONE! My mud GONE!", he accused.
No, we told him, it dried up, just add more water from the pool.  He did and the mud magically appeared. Joy restored.

Cute Andy story

On the way to the babysitter's, there were a lot of trucks and oversize pickups on the road.  Andy announced, "I drive monster truck, Mama."  He thought for a bit and then said,"You sit in back seat."

Basic Information about me

I'm a single mom to my beloved 2-year old son, Andy. 
I realized, at the age of 41, when my younger sister adopted a baby from China, that unless I did something, like RIGHTNOW, I would never have kids.  Finding Mr. Right could wait, in fact one of my dear friends is getting married for the first time at the age of 50 something.  So I could find him, Mr Right that is, in my 50's or 60's, but having kids is something better done young.  I had one nurse ask me, why did I wait so long?  41 is really old to try for a child. 
I saw a lot of doctors, and nurses, and had a bunch of tests but in the end it took one try to get Andy.  Best 42nd birthday present, ever.

It is not brown play-dough

The title of this blog is something I tell my 2 year old son when I'm changing his diapers.   What can I say, I find it amusing, and so does he.  And then one time, while playing with the real brown play-doh (it comes in the snack-time set, with popcorn maker) I put a small ball of dough in a clean diaper and told him to take it to Grammy.  Fun times at home!
