Tell Me How You REALLY Feel, Cowen.

I had started a quilt a few weeks back (my first one!!) Today I decided to finally pin it together so I could start the very scary process of putting it together. As I'm on the floor, cutting excess batting cowen flips over the couch to see the quilt laid out perfectly. He says "Holy cow!" I respond with "pretty cool huh?" He tells me "no that's not cool, that's wicked!!"...right at this point I'm feeling like one super rad mommy...then he proceeds to tell me why it's wicked...

"I can't believe you did it! I'm so proud of you!!! You never do anything by yourself! "

...thanks cowen, I feel much better now! Doesn't he know you're not suppose to say stuff like that to your mom right AFTER your dad has left?? :) if only he knew, huh?

Gay Pride!

So I'm sitting here on Facebook with cowen looking over my shoulder. He sees a pride picture (thanks Theresa! Lol) and goes "oh wow, that's so colorful! What is it?" I told him its the pride festival. Being the, I need answers kinda child he is, he asks "what's pride?" So I told him "its a festival for gay people to show that they are proud of who they are. Its full of dancing, music and food." He asks what a gay person was. I told him "a gay person is a boy that likes boys and girls that like other girls, your aunt Theresa is gay" (Thanks Theresa! Lol)

...."uhm, you're gay too mom."

Oookay! Maybe a better explanation is in order :D
