another week…
another week has come and nearly passed, it’s been busy to say the least. Arlin’s wearing a new shirt I bought him from Old Navy, they’re having a crazy blow out summer sale…I figured for $1.99 I couldn’t pass it up, we’ll just add a long sleeve under it for Fall.
mmm, beans…this was our last dinner with Papa before he had to leave again for business. All Chad’s recent work travel has been rough on the Captain, and it makes me realize just how awesome of a Papa Chad is. This morning when we left for school Chad put him in his car seat and said …“Papa’s gotta get on an airplane and go to work o.k.?..Papa see you in awhile buddy…I love you.“
As we drove around the corner Arlin started crying…”Papa!Papa!” he cried the whole drive to school, real crocodile tears *ugh* and when we pulled up to school all he was saying over and over was, “work,work,work.“
this is pretending to be a “truck” one with a forklift…with he’s food tray, it’s great fun.
I took him shopping Tuesday when it was raining to pick him up a cheap fire truck toy of some sort, something that maybe made sounds and was small enough for travel. I thought it’d be good to have some visual/verbal lessons because Arlin Jack can’t seem to say the word “truck” correctly, we’re working on it though…”cruck”, is what most often comes out, however, the other day when moseying up and down the isles of Big Lots it was “caw-ick” sounds like “cock” he was very animated and repeating the word over and over… louder and louder. I couldn’t toss a fire truck into his lap of the shopping cart fast enough!…I was dying laughing and so were the other shoppers around me.
O.k. o.k. shhhhhhhsh. Arlin here’s a fire “truck” just for you…
Arlin’s favorite words this week; “yeah” (means I want), Paw-mer (Palmer), cruck (truck), cracker (any food he sees), Peee-ease (please), tank u (thank you), Mama, Papa, work, poo-poo…and of course “No.”
