Just as a side note. Mia is sitting at the coffee table right now, doing math for fun. She requested working in a math book instead of her usual bedtime story. She already did her 15 minutes of reading for the day and we read or rather sang Puff The Magic Dragon earlier with Lennon before he went to bed. I'm so glad she likes math.

Little Loving
Lennon's little friend Bianca had gotten into a bad habit of needing to be held to fall asleep. So last night Claire decided to break that habit and let her cry it out. For the first ten minutes she cried "mama! Mama!" For the second ten minutes she cried "dada! Dada!" Then for the last few minutes before falling quietly to sleep she cried "Lennon! Lennon!" In the car today Claire asked her if she loved Lennon and she shook her head yes. Then Mateus spoke up. "I love Mia too...I love her in her bathing suit." What a strange thing for a four year old to say Claire thought, so she asked him to explain. "Why Mateus?" "Because she looks pretty in her bathing suit. It has Ariel on it and when she runs you can see her legs." Maybe a little frightening that a four year old thinks my six year old has nice legs, but then again his father is Brazilian. Maybe it's a cultural thing! :)

Ha! I just had to read your post out loud to my family...that is some funny stuff!
You are too funny and the part about Mia's legs is just hysterical!!! You are in TROUBLE with Mateus for sure:)
Do you remember how BJ used to comment about Geena Davis' beautiful legs -- when he was 4? So, I have to say that Mateus is just a little boy with excellent taste in females :)
