The first thing Park said this morning was, "Can I go on the court?" When Damian said not right now, he took it up a notch. "Can I go on the court and play tennis??" Then it was, "Can I go play tennis and swim?" Finally he resorted to, "Can I watch tennis?"

The boys are always coming to me saying, "Ooooops...." This tells me nothing. I don't know whether to drop everything and run to clean up dripping liquid or broken glass, or if a piece of paper simply fell off a shelf.

Yesterday I hear Parker say, "Ooooops..." Liam says to him, "Honey, oops doesn't tell me anything. Say 'uh-oh' instead, and that tells me something."
