Whoa!

Tonight I showed C and K my ever expanding belly and my belly button. Sadly, my formerly "innie" belly button is now nearly flush with the surrounding skin. K's response, "Whoa! That's a lot of stretch marks!" C concurred, but in a more analytic manner, I could almost see him scratching his chin, "Yeah Mama, that is a lot of stretch marks." Later as the boys were wrestling around with Johan, Johan cautioned them, "Careful, you're close to mama." K was quick to move away, but mumbled, "Yeah, I have to get away from her enormous body."

Another quotable quote from K this evening:

"Mama, do you want me to show you how to do 'Bird Beaks?'" Not sure what to expect, I watched as K launched into a series of "Burpees." Burpees are the fitness training move that is sort of a jumping jack/push-up. The boys do burpees at Tae Kwon Do every week, and apparently K, for over a year now, has been hearing "Bird Beaks," not "Burpee." Even as I corrected him, K insisted, "No, bird beaks!" He demonstrated with his hands how at the top of the jumping jack move his hands come together in a peak that arguably does resemble a bird beak.
