sorry – my real job is taking precedence this week, and although i would much rather rant about all things new and on my mind, i gotta take a break so i can support my diet coke and shoe addictions…so anyways - i only have time for a quick post today, BUT because of this, my NEXT one will be EXTRA good, i promise! ;)  …so you’d better check back soon!  as i mentioned in one of my earlier ramblings, i will try and post at least two times a week so here goes…

my son jalen and i have a new bedtime ritual inspired by the movie wall-e.  each night after his bedtime story and our small chat about his day, we pretend he is a robot and i proceed to ‘power him off’ by pushing a button on his forehead.  this is his clue that he needs to quit talking and go to sleep – because just like his mama, he is a chatter-box and can go on and on and on… ;)  after about a week of this fun new game preparing for sleep, jalen started ‘moving’ the button around to mix it up a bit (gotta love his creativity!).  one night it will be on his hand, the next on his foot, then his belly button, etc, etc… however, last night the funniest thing happened – when i pressed jalen’s ‘power off button’ on his toe (the last place it ended up at) – he told me as he often does – ‘no mommy, that’s not where my button is anymore!!! – then he proceeded to say – ‘my button is now HERE (pointing to his ‘pee-pee’) and i can turn MYSELF off and on by touching it!’

got a funny line or incident that happened with your precious offspring?!  i know you do – please share!
