Signing my Life Away

This morning we went and signed the papers to sell our house. The actual closing is on Monday but we don't have to be there. Amazing how matter-of-fact it all ends up being. I am only mildly nauseated over the whole thing and my breath is slowly coming back. Wow.

My big guy has been my comic relief lately. Yesterday we were having a "dispute" and he told me "That's Not Fair!" When I explained to him that life wasn't fair, he answered "Life Stinks." Very philosophical for a 4 year old I think.

Driving in the car the other day he was playing Dora the Explorer. Our babysitter was Dora, he was Boots and his brother was Swiper. When I questioned him about being Boots, he said "Mommy, (big sigh and rolling of the eyes) I'm only pretending to be Boots, I'm really Supergerky." Silly mommy. Oh, and I love that he taught his babysitter the words to the Dora theme song and the 2 of them were singing at top volume "Come On Dominoes, Everybody Let's Go.." (should of course be come on Vamanos).

Magician's vocabulary is getting a little more varied every day. Still just simple words for now though - up, out, mama, car, bye-bye, hi, baba, etc. Athough if his speech progresses anything like his walking did I fully expect to come home one day and he will be reciting the Gettysburg address or acting out Shakespeare in perfect rhythm.

I just need to get through the next 2 weeks.... I can't believe we close on MONDAY!
