owen lately

• "Owen wanna race cars with Mommy/Daddy!" "Car goes 'rroom rroom!'"
• "Mommy's hair needs a trim"
• "Owen has a full tummy."
• "This is Mommy's shirt. It's pretty...cute!"
• Last night before bed he was running about naked and crazy and suddenly ran over to the wall where I have some of his finger-paintings hanging low so he can look at it. He stops, points to it and exclaims: "Artwork!"
• Later, we were rocking and talking and for once he was being calm and relaxed. He switched positions so that he was lying on his side across my body, more like a baby. He says, "I go this way and close my eyes." He closed them for a second and we kept rocking and talking but he was starting to squirm and couldn't get comfortable. He stops and goes, "Owen's too big."
