Soft and Functional

9 Comments/ 232/ 0

Kids say the darnedest things sometimes.

4 year olds are constantly surprising..

Time spent with grandchildren is never dull.

All of these statements are true and after spending 6 days over the holidays with our sweet Theo I am holding all the memories close and locking them up in my memory bank. But one is worth sharing with my beloved readers because it is just fun and who doesn’t need a little fun today?

Chris and I bought some really soft and cozy pajamas for Theo a couple of months ago. We had overbought for his birthday and decided to save some stuff back for Christmas. It was one of those dreaded “soft” packages that kids hate at celebration times. ( Ann knows what I am talking about, right?) Anyway, I had washed them up and one night when we were in charge while Mommy and Daddy went on a mini getaway I had them ready to put on him after an extended bath time. (Another Fama and PopPops indulgence). Theo loved them immediately and proclaimed that they were “soft and functional”. We about split our sides laughing but now that has become our phrase for anything these days. Why yes, that blanket is soft and functional. The cats are soft and functional. That chair is definitely soft and functional.

There are moments in time that I want to remember and this is one of them. Thank you, darling Theo, for the memory.

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
