Boston Lewis Simkins

After a long night of no sleep, a slight freak out this morning when Kristin's blood pressure dropped to 67/38 mmHg in the hospital, two syncopal episodes (both by Kristin) and a c-section... our little boy has arrived.

Quotable Quotes

The other day Boston and I were at the church for a little singing play group. He must have been getting sick of it, because half way into it, he runs across the room, drags over the diaper bag, hands me the strap, and says, "Come on, mom. Let's get outta here!"

Today I go to get in my car and open the door for Boston to climb in. He runs over to Mark's car and says, "No, mommy! I wanna my daddy's car!"

After asking Boston if he wants a cheeseburger... "No! I not cheeseburger! I nuggets!" We go through this everyday, as he usually wants nuggets or a hot dog, no matter what I'm offering.

Getting Boston ready for bed... Me: "Boston, do you want to wear your Mickey Mouse pants?" Boston: (squealing) "Yes! Hot Dog, Hot Pants!"

Today Mark is eating a grapefruit, and Boston (thinking it's an orange) wants some. Mark puts a small piece into Boston's open mouth... Boston looks at Mark with a look of deepest digust, spits it out, does a full-body shudder, and says, "Ucky, be-be! Ucky, be-be!"

The other day Boston tells Nikki, "Mama, I wanna nugget!" He later tells me, "Mama! Mama! I wanna coke!" Lovely.

Me: Boston, what does a doggie say? Boston: Arf, arf, Pluto!

The other day, Boston was watching Mickey Mouse (as always) and I told him we were going bye-bye. He turns to the TV and says, "OK, bye-bye, see ya, Dedo (Pluto), Daisy, Mmmm Mouse!" This kid is so dang cute!

This afternoon I asked Boston if he wanted some fruit snacks. He got a huge grin on his face, said, "Yeah!", followed me to the kitchen, and when I handed him the pack, he exclaimed, "Ooooooh, deg-nuh (thank you)!" Too cute.

Mark talking about how much he has been taking care of Boston (and thus changing diapers) the past month... "I'm getting so good! I changed a really stinky one the other day, and I only gagged once! I was proud of myself!"

Mark singing to Boston, who is fussy with gas, "I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt, and send it down the drain!"
