From the Mouth of Eamon
Vika and Eamon are vastly different creatures. As you have seen in this post and others, Vika is more practical and "cut to the chase," whereas Eamon is more sensitive and very much an "old soul." Here are some things he said this past week which I found amusing. I think I'll add them to my growing list of "Eamonisms."
While watching Bear Grylls on Man vs. Wild eat a fish he'd just speared and roasted over an open fire:
"I think that fish is missing his family."
Said in an excited voice as he and I headed to my brother's Super Bowl party (it was just the two of us, Vika and Jeff stayed home):
"It's like we're going on a date!"
When I was putting him to bed and giving him a hug goodnight:
"Mama, I could hug you forever."
When Eamon says things like that last one, it's almost enough to make me forget how challenging he's been lately!

I remember when you and your brother were that age and so loving and small and warm. Enjoy every second. And try not to blink - it all goes away so fast.
I remember when my now 18 year old son used to enthusiastically proclaim, "Mama, you are beautiful and pretty!" Ohhhh...those were such awesome days. Enjoy your Eamonisms and be proud you are chronicling them. Smart lady!
gotta love that kid
I think this is why moms and little boys have that special bond.
