belly laughs crocodile tears skip to main skip to sidebar belly laughs crocodile tears the good the bad of our journey called life tuesday january 17 2012 do you know my birthmom asher is nearly 4 years old he s a very busy smart little boy who when he does slow down enjoys reading books and watching movies his latest favorites are despicable me kung fu panda and kung fu panda 2 oddly enough in all of these movies adoption is a theme in kung fu panda 2 there is a scene where the goose father confesses to his panda son that he was adopted this began a conversation among jake asher and i one night we have always told him that he was adopted and he has met his birthparents a k but just this week we saw k asher s birthmom he hadn t seen her in over a year and with this recent talk about adoption on his mind one night he looked at me and said mom i have a question to tell you he had my full attention yes asher what is it i asked him do you know my birthmom yes asher i know your birthmom k is your birthmom do you know my birthdad asher asked yes asher i know your birthdad a is your birthdad he thought about that a minute you know a k they are your birthparents again he thought about what i had told him then he said do you know my birthtractor do you know my birthdog do you know my birtheiffeltower i thought maybe he was getting it a little more but maybe we ll continue having adoption conversations posted by jake and emily at 8 07 pm 2 comments saturday july 23 2011 you can tell everybody this is your song it was bedtime tonight and instead of a story i decided to sing asher some songs as i carried my baby up the stairs in my arms the song he s got the whole world in his hands ran through my mind so i began to sing it to him he seemed to enjoy it well enough but then he said sing my song mom which song baby my song i had no idea which song he was meaning i tried a version of asher j to the tune of jingle bells that wasn t it i thought perhaps he meant the ants go marching as that has been a very regular bedtime song but he didn t mention that one sing me part of it baby sing it so i know which song you mean my song mom the one with the guitars and the drums ahhhh yes to reach a compromise in the car and also to make sure i didn t go crazy in regards to listening to his kids songs cds every time we drive anywhere i tried to make sure that when we were listening to my music that i always pointed out the instruments he may be able to hear i always pick up the melody in music but like uncle dylan asher always picks up the beats the song asher was calling his song adele s rolling in the deep ding mommy wins he pounded out the very clear bass drum beat on the mattress with his foot while i sang to him he had a huge smile on his face and so did i posted by jake and emily at 10 14 pm no comments wednesday july 20 2011 what did he just say it s summertime and you know what that means swimming sunshine fresh produce warm nights and fireflies one sunday dinner at my parents house we were eating some delicious corn on the cob someone asked to have the spray butter passed asher piped up please can i have some sunscream for my corn on the cob last night jake invited asher and i to dinner asher s first movie in the theater cars 2 and to wind up the date he took us to whitey s ice cream asher of course chose the orange sherbet and insisted he have it in a cone this morning when he woke up he was still talking about what an exciting night it was and i got orange ice cream in a comb we recently picked jake up from his homecoming ceremony he has been deployed to afghanistan for the last year and it has been so wonderful to have him home again on our way out of the town we saw a chinook helicopter and a regular helicopter grandma explained the differences between the two tonight asher was talking about the chinook and grandma said what does the chinook have that the other helicopter doesn t have asher let us all know what he had learned two repellers posted by jake and emily at 8 24 pm no comments saturday june 25 2011 rock in roll asher loves cinnamon rolls he will ask for them almost daily and daily he will ask for them multiple times if we run out of cinnamon rolls it can be a very stressful event last sunday i had to drive to the grocery store with bad hair without my teeth brushed with the child still in pajamas to retreive said breakfast items usually i just whip up the ones that you simply pop in the oven and drizzle with icing all from a tiny paper tube asher thinks they are divine today we had a late breakfast at one of our favorite local restaurants i picked out a plump homemade cinnamon roll for asher from their bakery case and he immediately began scarfing it down about two thirds of the way through he started slowing down it appeared there was something bothering him when he even went as far as practically gagging i thought maybe he had put too much in his mouth so as moms sometimes have to hold gross things in our hands i helped him remove some of the offending cinnamon roll there was still something bothering him even as he was spitting out the pieces of pastry what s the matter baby what s wrong i asked he pointed to the roof of his mouth and let me fish around inside with my finger there s a rock in my mouth he said there s a rock in my cinnamon roll there was no rock in my baby s roll however he just wasn t used to the delicious goodness of a real homemade cinnamon roll complete with sugary goodness rather than faux icing from a plastic tube rock in roll asher rock in roll posted by jake and emily at 11 00 pm no comments friday april 22 2011 how many times the other night asher i went swimming at the ymca he s really getting better and he s still fearless which is why i m so glad he s getting better we use a foam floatation device that straps around his chest so that he is buoyed in the back he can dog paddle around and loves to slide down the slide and jump in from the side he jumped in about a hundred times in a row if he wasn t going to sleep like a rock that night at least i was the next morning when grandma taxi picked him up for daycare i said tell grandma where we went last night he told her to the ymca i said tell her how many times you jumped into the pool and he replied well i don t know i didn t count posted by jake and emily at 4 21 pm no comments out of and into the mouths of babes this cold april morning i was making some muffins for our breakfast and also making up a pot of broccoli cheese soup i was peeling the onion and asher asked what s going to hatch now and then he gets a bit greedy with food and after i had chopped the onion he came and snatched a bit of it off the cutting board i let him walk away with it but when he turned around with a horrified look on his face like what did you just let me eat i couldn t help but laugh especially when he put his hand up to his mouth went ehhhhh posted by jake and emily at 4 17 pm no comments wednesday march 30 2011 black man doing the robot dance it s tax time and you know what that means liberty tax has people standing on street corners dressed in statue of liberty costumes doing crazy things like waving to cars hula hooping and dancing to their own beats so when i called my sister tonight who was watching asher to tell her i was on my way she said make sure you look for the black man doing the robot dance on the corner ok i replied so when i got to the corner she mentioned i looked around no black man no robot dances no black man doing the robot dance bummer i must have missed him when i arrived i let her know i hadn t seen the man and that i must have missed his awesome moves did you see anytime fitness she asked me uh yeah well that was where your son pointed out the black man doing the robot dance see for yourself posted by jake and emily at 8 35 pm no comments wednesday january 19 2011 orange you glad asher loves fruit and carbs and anything with sugar that will make him hyperhyperhyper lately we ve been eating lots of clementines and oranges and he seems to love the juicy fruits the other day he was enjoying an orange it had some pulp on it so he brought it to me and said mom get the boogers off never thought about the fun conversations i d have as the mom of a little boy posted by jake and emily at 9 34 pm no
