|  Marcus loved his motorcycle ride at the park... kind of like a go-kart, but really slow and just for little kids!
 Marcus enjoys his new swimming pool (and speedo) just about every day. I can hardly get him out of it! (well, the speedo he's always eager to take off, being the nudist that he is...)

| Last night when Patrick was putting Marcus to bed, he said, "Marcus, I love, love, love you". Marcus looked up at him and said, "Too many lovies. Daddy, you only need to say it one time. I'll hear you." Hah!
This is basically a mix of two conversations we have with him all the time where we tell him "too many whys" (after a couple minutes of him asking "why?" incessantly) and "Marcus, you only need to say something one time. We hear you. Then you wait and when we're ready to answer you, we will".

Mowgli comes with us everywhere, eats "her" meals with us at home (the hair really throws Marcus off, so he thinks Mowgli is a girl. Notice the lack of shirt does not seem to throw him off), and gets cold outside because of his lack of clothing. Yesterday we had a birthday party for him, where Marcus helped blow his (imaginary) candles out, just after singing "Happy Birthday" to him in Arabic. We're all trying to make space for this new family addition.

| So we're in the car today and Marcus is chattering in the back seat... here's the conversation:
M: Our car's kinda like white [it's black]
me: Actually, it's the opposite of white. What's the opposite of white?
M: Barack Obama!
me: [laughing so hard I almost crashed the car]
...and upon further reflection, we think he may have been associating the word "white" with White House. He and Patrick had a conversation a few days ago about Barack Obama going to live in the White House. He definitely doesn't know what opposites are. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't know race descriptors. Still, the kid cracks me up!

| Marcus has decided he would like a baby sister. And he would like to name her Wrecking Ball. I'm not sure how I feel about delivering (or carrying!) a baby named Wrecking Ball. | | |
