August 7, 2010 by Adrienne

Apparently I’m highly predictable. While my search baby names is still on, Facebook friends came through with many name suggestions. About 80% are on my favorite list – a list of names that contains none that thrill my dear husband. But the fact that my friends have nailed almost my entire list is almost disturbing. Almost.

One morning Sterling came bursting into the back door with, “Momma, you’re the best…” He trailed off, paused, my heart was cheered by his outburst – and then he corrected himself. “Momma, I’m the best fire truck driver!” Ah, yes. For a moment there, I thought perhaps I was doing something just right for my boy. What a moment.

Mom’s Night Out last night. Such fun. No kids. It was awesome. And the snuggles I got this morning, evidence that I really was missed, were pretty awesome too.

“Momma, where’s the dutch tape?”
“You mean the duct tape?”
“I said dutch tape!”
“I know you did. It’s duct tape.”
“That’s what I said! Dutch tape.”
Ok, Eden. Whatever you say. Funny enough though, she may just start a new word around here. Then, when I informed her we didn’t have any in the house, only masking tape, I heard as she headed outside to tell Blaine, “Daddy? Momma said we only have mask tape. There isn’t any dutch tape in the house.” Yep, whatever you say.
