All about Alex...

There are some things that I have to jot down about my middle child before senility makes me forget.

- We were passing by the Reagan Library, and Alex was struggling to remember the word "museum." It was a lot of "That building...that building...that building..." while his little brain was struggling to come up with the word.

I finally told him, "Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Mu-seeeeeee-ummmmm!"

"Yeah, museum. Mom...Barack Obama sleeps there."

Well, I guess when he's in the area...he'll have a fine view of our development and former Air Force One.

The logic that Alex used to come up with that conclusion definitely does make sense though. It's a presidential library and museum, therefore, you must have presidents there. I didn't want to get into the whole "president-elect" status details...

- The kids have heard much about Obama because we are a fully blue, Democratic household. Evan frequently jokes about how our kids could be gay, transgendered, video game addicts, dictators of small South American countries...but if they're REPUBLICAN, they're out of the house. Well, who would be the ONE kid that I would catch chanting, "John Mc-CAIN! John Mc-CAIN! John Mc-CAIN!"

Alex, "contrary" is your middle name. Or it should've been anyway. Although I have to give the kid points for knowing the Republican candidate's name. And how much it would probably cheese off his dad if he chanted it repeatedly.

- When washing hair now, Alex insists on using "air conditioning" on his head after his shampoo.

Oh, Alex...
