Just a few highlights from a conversation I had with Liana earlier today. Now, we all need our privacy but with two kids sometimes you just have to do things that need to get done, like going to the bathroom. Liana and I went upstairs to take a shower before bed time. I had to go to the bathroom (#2) and she was in the bathroom with me. I was sitting on the toilet and I must have been pushing or something becuase the Nugget looked at me and said "you usin' your muscles dada?" and she squinched her face just like someone working hard to get out some pooh. Pretty funny!
At bedtime we were talking about our day which included swimming at the Y. There was a boy in the class who basicallys screamed the whole time and his dad should have just taken him out of the water. Anyway, while we were talking about swim class I asked the Nugget "what was the boy doing?" She said, "cryin'". I said "how come?" She said "he needed his binky" then a pause "and he needed his blanky". Funny how he might need the two things that the Nugget needs when she is having a rough time :-)
The last thing was story time tonight. There is a "Sleep Tight Elmo" book that has made its way into the rotation. On the last page Elmo is in his bed asleep and his daddy is in the door way saying "sleep tight, Elmo". We have read this book many times and the Nugget usually asks "is that Elmo's Daddy?" and we I will say yes and say "look at Elmo's milk" (which is on his nightstand) and the Nugget will say "and a snacky" (which is next to the milk on the nightstand). tonight, on the last page Liana abruptly grabbed her milk bottle from her lap and "clinked" glasses with Elmo's milk cup and proclaimed "cheers, elmo"!
She cracks me up every day, many times per day - all of these stories are funnier if you are there, I'm sure but I know I will look back some day and read this and laugh out loud.
