facial anatomy lesson

As we were getting Dennis ready for his bath tonight, he pointed to my face and identified my mouth, nose, eyes, and eyebrows. He named each of these parts correctly. Then he pointed to the middle of my forehead and said "bonk", as if this was the correct anatomical name for 'forehead'. I never knew I had one of those. Do I say I have a headache? Or a bonk-ache?

We were sad to see the Gallmans go today--we had such a great time this weekend just hanging out together. As they pulled away, Dennis said "I had fun!". Then he dictated "ready to go to carseat, ready to go eat". We enjoyed a little family dinner at Taco Bell and came right home when he began to say "ready to go to bed, Mommy" and "so sleepy, ready to go bed". I hope he sleeps much later in the morning than he did this morning! Dave and Ellen and I stayed up until 4:30 watching movies and were very dismayed that the kids got up at 6:45! The doorknob cover is no longer a deterrent for Dennis. When I got up, he had left his bedroom and was working on the front door. We're going to have to install something else QUICK! Tonight there's a baby gate in front of his bedroom door--maybe this will slow him down somewhat in his rush to get up and our and come find us in the morning!
