something to remember

I am not very good about noting the funny things that Sawyer does and says, which is the main reason that I actually wanted a blog...I just never get around to writing that stuff down. But yesterday when I was telling this story to some friends they said to make sure and write this down...so here it is:
We were walking through the Trader Joes parking lot when we looked over to see an old lady in an electric wheel chair rolling next to us. Sawyer looks right at her so excited and says "I'll race you!" And just like that he and some seventy year old lady are racing through the parking lot to the entrance of TJ's. I was so embarrassed...luckily she thought it was great and I guess it wasn't as rude as asking why she has weird wrinkly skin, or short hair which he thinks is only for boys.
I have been nervous now for months wondering at what point Sawyer was going to say something that he shouldn't, whether it be politically incorrect, or just too observant. Kids always say things that they shouldn't and he seems to ask way too many questions at times that he shouldn't. I guess he could maybe get this from me too because I always say whatever I am thinking, and a lot of times I should just keep those thoughts to myself!

I think Sawyer peeing in the rocks today should be the next thing you write down. That was SO funny!

Just wait until they blurt out loud 'Mom, that lady has a big butt!' Ya...that's Lorelei for ya. What Sawyer said was so cute! & the lady seemed great with it.

LOL! SO funny! That moment probably made that little old lady feel great because Sawyer saw her as just a person with something cool instead of an old lady who was moving too slow. The other day, Kai and I were by L.H. Mall at the Dr.'s and an old lady was walking by and Kai turned to me and said, "Look, Mom, that lady is about to die!" I'm like, "what? why?" "Cause she's so OLD!" I was laughing and cringing at the same time!!
