In which we discuss matters of the family.

Things I didn't expect to hear

“I don’t want me to get scurvy!” (Poppy, upon hearing me talk to her grandma about the lack of fruit in her diet.)

“Those are some beautiful underpants.” (Pi, surveying the underpants she had painstakingly arranged on the bed.)

“I don’t want my mommy to lay down on my underpants!” (Pi, after I grabbed her and laid down on the “beautiful underpants.”)

Family matters

The boy, 6 months old

The children didn’t do a synchronized napping routine yesterday. Pete slept from about 11:30 until 2, and Poppy slept from 3 ’til 5. While Pi was asleep, Pete and I took advantage of the nice afternoon light.

Pete can sit up unassisted for about 30 seconds, and for the very first time, he pushed himself into a position that looks suspiciously like a pre-crawl.

I will take my ball into the living room! Oh, Mommy’s in the living room. There is the closet. What’s behind that door? What’s behind that door? Hmmm …

Pretty piggies! I can take them to the living room.

What’s behind that closet? It could be alligator! Woo!

Flight of the Bumblebees, Flight of the Bumblebees, Bee-O Bee-O Bee-O’s.

You know my favorite? Ballgames. Ballgames ballgames ballgames.
