This isn't weird at all, is it?

"This isn't weird at all, is it?" is what William kept saying in the big bathtub that he, his brother Andres and I were in with him.

William woke up laughing and he was telling me something about Grandma and the bathtub, but I couldn't really understand what he was saying and I didn't want to wake him up further to ask.

New York to Santa Fe

The boys traveled well, I think they're experienced travelers and old enough not to be quite the handful.

Andres slept on the Dallas leg and William slept on the Albuquerque leg. I didn't give Andres his Dramamine because they wouldn't eat in Dallas. There was a bit of a dust up because I won a game of Uno. Andres had a bit of a snit for a while. And refused second attempts to eat. So I didn't give him the Dramamine. So of course in the turbulance into Albuquerque he chucked, and then after we landed, the complementary diet coke was coming out his nose, and then later in the drive to Santa Fe he hurled some more. But instead of going out when we came, we played some soccer, and tossed the football around that I bought in Dallas (people told Andres that he had a good arm), and William went grocery shopping with Glamma. Glamma wants to teach the boys cooking, and generally go more into food. They got to roast their hotdogs on the grill.

William tried swordfish, and went back for seconds, at Whole Foods.

They didn't watch any TV yesterday.

Dream

William had a dream there were no "bad words", swear words. People would just say, "come on".

dreams

William had a dream that letters and numbers were mixed up in the alphabet.

Andres said he kicked the soccer ball up to heaven. Above the clouds. It's real dad. We watch movies and Andres says after like 45 minutes, "that's not real." Andres has had some difficulties distinguishing fiction and subjectivity from real and objective at times.

So I had a great weekend with the boys. Last time ice skating until September. Now they're taking swimming lessons. No Sunday school till September too. No soccer, but Andres likes to kick the soccer ball around, and William does sometimes too.

We look forward to a week in Santa Fe coming up.

Compassion

William came running, "they killed him.". He was upset and crying. The other boys had found a caterpillar, and killed it. I was happy that William had compassion for the living being.

He had a catapillar on his neck later. I took it outside so it could live. William was freaked out by it. He said, "are we going to tell Mom my dirty little secret?". Where did he get that phrase from?
