To each his own
Indy requested to poop in the dark by the light of the iPad playing train videos, with the door tightly shut and me standing by side. He looked up at me and said, “I love you, Mama.” I’m thinking, “you’ve gotta KNOW that I love you!”

Someone help me.
Indy: Mama, why's it dark?
Me: Because it's night time.
Indy: What's night time?
Me: When the Sun and everyone else goes to bed and the moon comes out.
Indy: Why does the moon come out?
Me: Because the moon helps us see at night when the sun is in bed.
Indy: Why are the lights on?
Me: Because they help us see at night, too.
Indy: What's see at night?
Me: We need to see the road because Mama is driving.
Indy: What's driving?
Me: It's when we get in the car and the car rolls on the road.
Indy: What's the road?
Me: .......
Indy: What's the road?
Me: ..........
Indy: What's the road, Mama?
And it keeps going...and going...and going....

Heart-melt in 3...2...1...
Indy: Daddy, I wanna be a doctor.
Keith: Oh yeah? Why?
Indy: 'Cause I wanna fix people.
Keith: Indy! I'm so proud of you! That's wonderful.
Indy: I also wanna be a train man.
I'm not exactly sure how we're gonna tie in that last part, but Keith told me that he and Indy had this conversation this morning right after Indy woke up. Where does he get these things? I immediately got misty eyed and decided to write it down for all of eternity. Hopefully, when he's 18, I can show this whole blog to him and he'll see what an inspiration he is for Keith and I.

Real update.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a REAL update. So here’s what’s going on in the Krepcho (pronounced Krep-ko) household.
- Keith is still looking for a job. I’m surprised at how long we’ve lasted. It’s actually not that bad. I’ve just had to cut out all of my spontaneous expenditures…which sucks because I love spending spontaneously. So...

Rejected.
Virginia Opera rejected me again this year. I’m bummed.
I’ve still got a few irons in the fire for the upcoming season though. I also auditioned for the Lyric Opera VA (which I sang with last season) and am auditioning for the VA Chorale in early May. Send your good vibes my way…I need to be validated by real professionals. It’s a sickness I have.

In other news.
There’s a GIANT puddle in the middle of the main hallway that leads all paths to or from the bathroom. I know it’s from the toilet because it smells like…toilets in my hallway. Not, poo or pee, but just that bathroom smell that some places have…and now my hallway has. The maintenance people came in and tinkered a little bit with a bunch of stuff a few days ago and now the...

Indy's fears.
Where do they come from? Where do the fears of any child come from? Every night, before Indy falls asleep he says, “I’m scared of the dark, Mama.” Even though we keep his closet light on and the door to the closet cracked to let light in. He’ll even walk from his room to ours in the pitch black morning, which makes me think he’s not really afraid of the dark at all...

Indyworld.
Me: (I finish reading "Diego Crocodile Mission" and turn it back to the beginning to "review" what happened in the book with Indy) Indy, what happened to Diego and baby crocodile?
Indy: Diego doesn't live in Indyworld.
Me: Indyworld?
Indy: Yeah, Diego doesn't live in Indyworld.
Me: Oh...who lives in Indy world?
Indy: Uh...Indy! (Kind of with a "duuh" tone to it)
Me: ...and?
Indy: Mama!
Me: ....AND?
Indy: Daddy!
Me: Who else lives in Indyworld?
Indy: ...uh....Thomas the Train!

WatchIndy loving life at town center. Just minutes before his hissy fit. I realize it may look like he was about to run out into the street at one point in this.video, but I’d already established the imaginary line that he couldn’t cross. He listens to me when it comes to imaginary lineage.

I need your advice.
How do you successfully trick your toddler into leaving a really fun place without having him break down into hysterics?
Usually, Keith is with me in these situations and for some reason he’s really good at distracting Indy and getting him to drop whatever fun thing he’s doing or say goodbye to whichever fun friends are there and skip happily to the car. Today, I took Indy out...

Spring Break Recap (Thursday edish.)
I wanted to post now so that I don’t have so much to post about on Monday.
Today- I actually met up with my students to go bowling. Since they live in Suffolk and I live at the beach, they originally wanted to have a beach day, but since the dumb weather has been in the high 50’s lower 60’s here, I suggested bowling. So we went. What kind of crazy teacher meets up with her kids...

Heiffer for life.
I’m starting to freak myself out at the amount of food I’ve eaten over the past 3 days. It’s like my sense is on spring break, too!
Breakfast was 1 fried egg with leftover ham, toast with grape jelly and a half-caff French press.
Lunch: strawberry/avocado salad with left over spaghetti, hummus and brown rice tortillas chips with caffine free coke (sucks).
Snack: Keith asked...
