Caco? Oh....Taco!

This evening I was fixing me & Preston Lee some dinner. Something easy of course :) I had some macaroni & cheese going for Preston Lee and I was also making some Tacos. I was standing at the stove reading the back of the Taco's box to see how long I needed to heat the shells when Preston comes over looking up at me & starts saying caco...caco. Of course I moved the box aside looked down at him & asked him what on earth he was saying? :):) Well...I held the box back up still reading (it takes me while you know to read how long to heat up tacos:) and Preston once again stood their looking up at me and the Taco's box saying caco...caco. Then it hit me, Oh...Taco! I thought oh surely not...he has never even ate a taco in his little lifetime. So I gave Preston the Taco's box and pointed to the Taco on the front & asked him what it was. Sure enough he says "Caco"!! Now I'm telling you I have NO IDEA how he knows what a Taco is. He's never had one before, we don't have Taco Bell around here, there are no Taco Bell commercials that run on T.V. all the time like they do back home, and I know for a fact that there is not a picture of a taco in ANY of his word/picture books.

I have it figured out!!!!! I know how Preston Lee knew that was a Taco on the box!! PRESTON LEE CAN READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call me crazy if you want, I'm sure I've been called worse than that before.....but I'm telling you I really think he can!

Just kidding guys! I know he can't read! But I do know for a FACT that he has one sharp little mind. He doesn't forget anything you tell him either.....and he says just about everything now. He's now saying I Love Momma...and I Love Dadda. That's a sentence! Subject, Verb, Object....yep I think that makes it a sentence if I remember my English correctly. He's only 19 months old and already talking like that! I think it's just AMAZING....but I am his Mommy and of course "I'm" going to think it's amazing.....right?

I know I'm just bragging on my baby, but hey, who doesn't? My little Einstein is upstairs sleeping right now, giving me a chance to catch up on some laundry and brag about him to all of you.

I still do not feel the best. I think the most miserable of my symptoms right now is that my ears have so much pressure in them. I've tried holding my nose and blowing so that they will pop...it just doesn't happen! Everything seems louder than normal, but yet I feel like I can't hear. Geez, I'm sick of being sick!

Alright, I'll quit bragging and complaining and let you guys go surf the net or do whatever it was you were getting ready to do online. It was nice talking to my sister tonight. Love you Tami! Miss you so, so much.
