march madness

sweet pea has his bracket set.  any indiana state fans out there?  sweet pea picked your team (reesie) to go pretty far.  and he picked "the stinkin badgers because that's who mack likes."  but in the end he has louisville going all the way.  because that's the team who was playing when he was born.  and yes.  the tournament was on while i was giving birth.  nearly six years ago.  (seriously...)

today is story snack with the kindies.  we made green birthday cupcakes.  i am reading pickle things by marc brown.  because pickles are green.  and we needed a theme. {little known fact about me:  i love pickles.}

sweet pea won't let me pull out his second loose tooth.  it is so loose.  my fingers just itch to yank it out.  i'm strange that way.  i beg him.  he smiles coyly.  he says no way.

he told me a boy in his class said a girl on the bus was "hot."  i overreacted.  he suggested pretty would be a better word.  he gets me.

and in summary, does anyone else think this almost six thing brings with it a lot of drama? 

i'm hoping someone will confirm the earth shattering, injustice of it all, totally crushed disappointment of not getting exactly what said almost six year old wants when he wants it, crying alligator tears thing is a phase. 

if not, i need help.  happy st. patrick's day!
