*i squish those cheeks!
munchkin is 4.5 years old now, but one
year old in the above foto, making a blanket
tent with sweet pea! he constantly amuses me
with the things that he says.
these related to me by his preschool teacher,
mrs.p.
munchkin : i won’t see you tomorrow!
i’m going on a long weekend to new york city!
(we were going a few miles up to carlsbad. =)
and when mrs.p asked why i hadn’t gone
to the preschool open house along with
daddy. (i was at our annual autumn potluck
for brush art class.)
munchkin : she’s got a book signing. it’s
sooo boooooring.
at home
munchkin : why is mommy reading books
all the time? they’re only words!
(despite this, he does enjoy stories, ha! =)
helping sweet pea read winnie the pooh.
she’s having issue sounding out “tea”.
me, giving a clue : it’s what daddy drinks.
munchkin : BOOZE!
a preschool mom died very young and
unexpectedly recently. so i’ve mentioned
death a few times, and how sad it was to the
bublets.
munchkin : we have to do everything we want
before we die.
me : =O that’s right! where did you hear that from?
munchkin : nowhere. i thought it myself.
today after reading starwars easy reader
munchkin : i wonder what droids eat?
me : i don’t think they eat anything.
munchkin : yeah. neither do aliens.
me : no. i think aliens do eat.
munchkin : what if they ate their buggers?
(”boogers” in munchkin speak.) that’d be
disgusting!
haha!
sweet pea is the epitome of nerdette.
we have homework every night (including
weekend homework) usually involving math
and book reports and daily reading. she also
needs to memorize addition tables (like 1+1,
2+2, etc). each day, she is thrilled to do her
homework and says how much she loves it.
i bought her some flash cards and she loves
“playing” with those too!
hope this nerdiness lasts! =D
in exciting Silver Phoenix news, i’m thrilled to
announce that foreign rights have been sold
to indonesia! =D i hope to share a cover soon
once it’s finalized! hoorah!
also, stacy whitman interviews me for the new
small press, tu publishing, focused on multicultural
fantasy and science fiction for children and young
adults. i really enjoyed this interview!
