While in Soeul Korea for a few days we wandered about many tourist destinations. We were struggling to keep Alex from running off. We kept telling him that if he runs off he could get kidnapped.

Mommy: Alex would you like some cheese?

Alex takes a bite: mmm! Mommy that's GONZOLA!!! (Gorgonzola)

Changing Alex's Clothes

Once he was completely naked he ran in front of the full length mirror in our bedroom. He put his hands on his hips and start posing. Then he stared his reflection down and declared, "You are a specter from the gods!" and continued posing. I swear that kid has an alternate personality, there is Alex, and then there is Naked Alex.

Mommy: Alex let's get dressed and then we can run errands ok?

Alex: No! Mommy! No!

Mommy: Alex!... Right now!

Alex: No I don't want to get dressed girls wear dresses, I want to wear pants.
