At the Car Wash.....

After dropping Dom off at school last week, Nix and I went to the Cactus Car Wash in Buckhead. I hadn't washed my car since January, and it had turned an ugly gray, so I figured it was time. This is a huge car wash, where they have around 30 employees or more washing a steady stream of cars. There isn't a moment at the car wash where there isn't a car needing washing. It is truly unreal how many dirty cars there are in Buckhead. Sure, most of the employees look as though they are there on a work release program of some kind, but they work very hard and are very efficient. The first step of the car wash is for the car to go through the auto wash, followed by hand washing. After we paid, we went to the viewing area to see our car go through the wash, which Nix found very exciting. Then, we went to the outdoor viewing area, where you can see the cars coming out of the wash. Nix loved watching the cars, and after the first few, he started waving to the cars. The first car was a BMW, and he waved and shouted his form of hello. The next car was also a BMW, and he greeted it the same as the first. The car after that was a Jag, and he got really excited and waved really fast. The third car was a Buick. Nix just stared and said nothing. The fourth car was a Mercedes, and he became really happy and waved furiously. It then occurred to me that he was only waving to luxury vehicles. This pattern continued until our car was ready. Only BMWs, Jags and Mercedes were "wave worthy". My little snob!!! :)

A Sweet Dominick Story

I am starting to feel like all my stories on this blog about Dom paint him in a rather wicked-in-a-Dennis-the-Menace light. I need to include my sweet stories about my eldest. Tonight, he wanted Daddy to put him to bed. As Nix also made this choice, I hung out with Dom in his bed until Roman got Nix settled in his crib. Since Dom had lost bedtime story privileges due to an incident involving shampoo in the shower, I asked Dom to tell me a story while we waited. He asked me if I wanted a story about Costco, and I said yes. He said "Once upon a time, a girl named Mommy (that's you Mommy and pointed to me) and Dominick, got into the car, drove to Costco, got a baby crib and baby blankets for Mommy, drove home, and Mommy was so happy. The end!" Great, great story, Dommy.

Fun on the Deck

A Day of Firsts

1. Attended our first Bris. 2. Had our first kosher for Passover meal. 3. Had our first embarrassment in a synagogue as Dom, along with the rabbi's son A.E., stood on a planter outside the reception room, backs to the sliding glass doors for all to see, pull down their pants and underpants, effectively mooning all the guests, and pee into the bushes, "crossing the streams" in the process. 4. First excuse of why he did this in front of all the guests when the bathroom was right down the hall: "Oh, we're just being boys." Keep it classy Dom. Ed. to add: This occurred next the Holocaust Memorial Fountain.
