Seriously where is your mother and when is she taking you home!

I remember bringing Lucas home that first day and Fabio and I stared at him thinking "what do we do now". He was our first and he looked so fragile and delicate. We were afraid to break him. We felt at any moment his real parents will be picking him up. We still feel that way at times and at times we still look at him and wonder "what do we do now". Especially when he asks me questions I don't want to answer. For example, he asks "mommy why are u sitting in the toilet, you are doing it wrong". I say "Lucas mommy and girls pee different than boys we have different parts". He says "let me see what you have". "Absolutely not" I say. "Mommy you see mine all the time and now I want to see yours". Where is your mother? Of course I didn't him let him see mine.

I volunteered at Lucas school for an event, it was the apple experiment. As the teacher was cutting the apple she was using a knife and telling all the kids that they should never use knifes because its dangerous. Lucas out of nowhere says "knifes are dangerous that's true but you just have to be really careful you don't cut yourself. Like when I need to cut something and no one is around I know where the knifes are and very carefully I use the knife and I never cut myself". All eyes were on me from the moms to the teacher to the kids. I wanted to say " I'm Just waiting for his mother to come get him". From then on the knifes and anything sharp is put away in a secret location. So secret Fabio and I can't even find it.

On another occasion, we were going to a restaurant with the boys and the waiter came to ask what we wanted. Noah gently grab the waiters hand and said "Hi! I want to eat. I want pasta". The waiter looked at us probably thinking if we ever feed him. I wanted to say "his mother still has not picked him up and he is eating all our food".

We went to see a play in our local theater "the wizard of oz". It was Noah's first play. Lucas kept asking questions forgetting to use his indoor voice. With a gentle fake smile I asked him to please tone it down but the whisper voice was a loud whisper. At the end of the show we went to meet the cast. As we approached the witch Noah screams "witch witch you bad you bad, you dead". It was cute at first until he kept yelling it and then demanded food. We shoved a cookie in his mouth and ran out before he asked for more.

Fabio let's me sleep in every Saturday as I let him sleep in every Sunday. It's so nice to know I am getting to sleep in without having to feed anyone on Saturdays. One morning my Inlaws got to our house early to stay for the weekend. My mother in law asked for me and Lucas said "mommy Is sleeping, she sleeps all day long and we never see her". Thank God my mother in law loves me and knows this is not true.

I am still waiting for their parents to show up but fortunately they are all ours and are with us forever and that is just perfect. If only the little guy would go easy on the food intake. Does he not know our economy is not doing well? Thank God pasta is cheap.
