Milk

I'm going to bring my milk today because my bones are little. I have to drink my milk to make strong bones.
OK.
Do you want to feel them after?
Do I want to feel your strong bones?
Yeah, do you want to feel them after?
I want to feel them now! [Hug]
No! They're not strong yet!

Major league debut

Buster's first big-league game. And undoubtedly his last at Busch Stadium -- ain't it a beautiful place? The Giants beat the Cardinals 4-2. Dad, note the hat color, was pretty happy about that. Buster got some rough news from his bookie but otherwise had a fine old time.

Who?

I'm a big brother.
That's right. And you're a great big brother too. Do you know who my big brother is?
Mommy.
No, Mommy isn't my big brother. My big brother is Uncle ... Uncle ...
Jeff!
Right! Very good. And who's Mommy's big brother?
Santa Claus!

The Schmuke boys admire the new Jeep double stroller, with Buster at the wheel and Daisy snoozing at the back of the bus, rock star style.

Growing up

Now we're in St. Louis
Well, yeah, we are. You've been in St. Louis all day. Your school is in St. Louis too. You never left the city today.
I'm growing up in St. Louis.
That's right, you're growing up in St. Louis. Daddy didn't grow up in St. Louis but you are. Do you know where Daddy grew up?
Yeah.
Where did Daddy grow up?
[Thinking, thinking ...] Los Angeles.
That's right! Very good.
I'm growing up on my pants.
You're growing up on your pants?
Yeah. Can you hear it?
Can I hear you growing up?
Yeah.
No, I can't hear it. Can you hear it?
No.

Well, you can have a breakfast bar, yogurt, grilled cheese or an apple.
