School's In Session

When Brent got home from work, Cullen was ready to play with him. First thing on the list was school. Cullen was the teacher, and Brent was the student. It went something like this:

Cullen: "Sit down on the steps for school."
Brent: "What is your name?"
Cullen: "I don't know. What is it?"
Brent: "Mr. Estes"
Cullen, "No, I'm Spiderman T-Rex."
Brent: " What is my name?"
Cullen: "Sally."
Sally: "Is it lunch yet?"
Spiderman T-Rex: "It is school all day."
Sally: "No lunch?'
Spiderman T-Rex: "School all day. Now, lets learn about dinosaurs."
(Then Spiderman T-Rex told a story about dinosaurs.)
Sally: "Is this preparing me for my Standardized Tests?"
Spiderman T-Rex: "NO!"
Sally: "What grade is this?"
Spiderman T-Rex: "Orange grade."
Sally: "I think this class is too advanced for me. I'm going to another class."
(Sally gets up to leave. Spiderman T-Rex begins to push Sally back in his seat.)
Spiderman T-Rex: "You can't leave. School's not over."
Sally: "I think it is against the law for you to push me."
Spiderman T-Rex: "No, sit down and watch the dinosaur movie."
Sally: "Is it recess yet?"
Spiderman T-Rex: "No, it is school all day."

It continued on a little longer until Sally convinced him to play ball.

We have noticed lately when playing Cullen exhibits fits of uncontrollable rage. Brent asked him what he had to be so angry about? He responded, "NOTHING!!!!!" Then laughed. He may need some sessions with his Uncle Chris. (It is playful rage)

Babysitter

Brent and I have been wanting to go on a date. The last time we went out, Cullen began his Night Terror stint. I do not want to traumatise again, so we thought we would talk with him about it. It went like this at the dinner table:

Me, " Cullen would you like Ms. Hiedi to come over and play with you in your new house?"
Brent, "That sounds like fun."
Cullen, "No!"
Me, "Why not?"
Cullen, "Will you and Daddy be here?"
Me, "No, Mommy and Daddy might go some where."
Cullen, "Where?"
Brent, "We want to go look for bicycles for you, and we need to go without you."
Cullen, " I can go, too."
Brent, " I thought you liked Ms. Hiedi."
Cullen, "No."
Cullen, " I don't need to play with Ms. Hiedi. I have mommy and daddy to play with."

A few moments later:
Brent to me, " I guess the babysitter thing might not work."
Cullen, " Why do we need a babysitter? We don't have a baby."
Cullen, " We can go buy one. Yeah, that would be fun."
Brent, " What kind of baby would you buy?"
Cullen, " A boy."

Lots of Stuff

Catch up:

So much, has been happening since we bought our house. We are moved in. Not totally unpacked but moved in. We are slowly going to fill our house with furniture and decorations. We have a lot of room. Everybody and animal could have their own room, and there would still be rooms left over. I absolutely love the house and the area. Cullen has agreed to live in the new house. At first he wanted to go back to the old house, but now the new house is fine. He doesn't like change and is a home body like his Daddy.

Cullen became sick with Strep Throat our first night in the new house.

Cullen and I are out for summer. We have been to the pool four days this week. It is alot of fun, and we have met some new friends.

PawPaw Estes came to visit and brought us a dining room table to use. We were large tableless. Thank You PawPaw!

Uncle Chris came to see our new house. Cullen has decided that Matthew and Brandon must come next time Uncle Chris comes. He says they would like to play in his new rooms. Aunt Melissa, you can come too.

We are taking it easy and enjoying our new house. I'll get better at blogging.
