Sometimes when it rains we have fun. Today, we are all cranky. I did what I never thought I would do – after a couple hours of whining and grumpiness, I marched them into the toy room and turned on the tv. At least I got to watch the wonderpets save the puppy.
Birds and Bees
Today, I was asking Marie if I was her favorite daddy. (The answer should be simple, as I’m her _only_ daddy.) She said I was, but continued to tell me some things I didn’t know.
bq. Marie: “I picked you at the grocery store.”
Me: “Really? You picked me?”
Marie: “You were in the cheese part.”
Up until today, I didn’t know where daddies came from…
Teeth
Brian has another tooth! That makes nine. There are three more bulging inside the gums; I’ll be they’ll pop through any day now.
It's a boy thing
Today Marie and Brian were having pudding for an afternoon snack. It comes in little cups and I was feeding Brian his to try to cut down on the mess. Well…there was only a little bit left in the cup so I let him play with it. He figured out how to put it over his mouth and suck in so it gets stuck there. All by himself! He thought it was pretty funny and so did Marie. Oh, and that mess I tried to cut down on? Yeah.
That brain is working!
This morning Marie was expounding on wht fact that I said it was a little chilly outside, and then she said, “but we eat chile… Hey – chilly, chile!”
Speaking??
I have been worried about Brian because he doesn’t say much. He’ll say uh-oh or tickle tickle and Daaaaaa in various forms, but nothing like mama or dada or moo or anything. Well, today he said cheese and Marie and I made him repeat it several times and it actually is cheese! Yay Brian! I might have to call a therapist though since he won’t say mama yet.
Another quote
“Whoa, that’s a nekkid table!”
Marie commented to me as I was clearing off the kitchen table so she could paint. 🙂
Quote of the Day
Mom, my bottom hurts so I’m rubbing it.
I said, ok, sounds like a plan, and then I looked over and uh-oh she was rubbing it with her hand inside her pants…I tried not to giggle too much and explained that she had to wash her hands immediately. *sigh*
He's at it again…
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
preschool
Today was Marie’s first day of preschool all by herself. She had a good time! She had no trouble leaving Mom and Brian to go with some of her favorite teachers and spent a very fun two hours. They had snack, sat criss-cross applesauce on their washcloths, played outside on the playground, played with toys, read a book, and made a craft. All while wearing underwear!
