Lately, when I give Declan something that he's asked for, he asks if I'm doing it because I love him. Of course I say yes. The thing I tried telling him, and I know he may not understand for a long, long time, is the reason I do just about everything is because I love him (and, of course, Logan).

Boys and Girls

Declan, on the Cartoon Network website: Mommy, how do you spell Courtney?
Me: Why do you need to spell Courtney?
Declan: Because you're a girl.
Me: Yes?
Declan: It says "email" right here. Emails are girls and males are boys.

...sigh

Declan: How do you say "wiener" in Spanish?
Me: I have no idea.
Declan: Let's ask Dora. She always knows things in Spanish.

Music is in the air

I've been trying to get some songs and performances on video lately. We had a burst of creative energy with Halloween. Here's a sampling:

Halloween Song by Declan
(I insisted Declan put on a shirt, so he did and we had to compromise with invisible pants. Also, possibly the best part of this video is the countdown at the beginning.)
