He’s a genius. My one-month-old son — the rascal. He’s a GENIUS!

Know how I know already? Because something AMAZING happened this morning….

I decided to give the rascal some dreaded tummy time while I put on my makeup. So, I lay him down on a mat and set a colourful cloth book in front of him. (If my DANG CAMERA was working, we’d have PICTURES…. I WILL get a new camera this weekend. I WILL get a new camera this weekend!)

Immediately, he began pushing himself up. Gosh, even THEN, I was thinking “wow, look at my little smarty pants…!”

I turned away briefly to put on some eyeliner,* and, OMIGOSH, PEOPLE!!! There he was! O-O-O-ON HIS BACK!!!!! My LITTLE RASCAL! At exactly one month and two days old rolled from his stomach to his back! Are you flabbergasted?! Is he not GENIUS!?

(Hey, if you can’t brag to your internet friends, then WHO can you brag to. Well, there’s your mother — it’sgrandma. You can brag to it’sgrandma. But, come on, that’s not nearly as fun. Humour me!)

My little rascal rolled onto his back all by his little self! Can you say……”MENSA”? Say it with me (and, say it loud): MENSA!

Meanwhile…. Talk about GENIUS! My cheaty little monkey is saying ALL THE RIGHT THINGS at preschool!

Just yesterday, her teacher pulled me aside as we were leaving and told me how the monkey brought a toy cow over to her, pointed to its udders and said “COW VAGINA” (which sounds more like “cow FAgina,” of course). Her teacher was laughing! And, if I didn’t LOVE HER TEACHER SO MUCH (shout OUT — she reads this blog…LOVE!), I’d be at least a little bit mortified.

We’re actually having some “FAGINA” issues with the monkey. She thinks it’s hilarious…, especially when yelled out over and OVER at the dinner table…..

Also delightful, the monkey asks this little gem of a question ALL THE TIME: “Are you fart?” “Grandma, are you fart?” “Joshi (aka, Dada), are you fart?” “Mama, are you fart?” etc., etc….

But, I love it the most when my monkey says this: “I LUFF YOU, RASCAL.” And, she says it UNPROMPTED!

She loves her brother….

The monkey loves the rascal!

BRILLERS!

Freaking. Brillers….

* Actually, I’ve started using an eyeshadow as eyeliner, at least for the bottom lashes, and I apply it with one of those angled brushes…talk about GENIUS! You should try it. Again, pictures would be here if camera was not BROKEN.
