We have poo!

E went poo on the potty for the first time. We've caught her in the act before and ran her to the potty, but this is the first time she went on her own. 

Later in the day, though, she went again in her undies.

Baby steps. 

Tea party

I just said "don't run with knives."

The girls are having a tea party. Which means they empty out the cupboard of all the kids cups and plates and silverwear. 

E: tea potty!

R: and we'll talk about Jesus

E: yea

R: (to me) we're going to talk about Jesus!

The end of the story

When we got to the last page of Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," e, now almost two, said "A-men!" instead of "the end."

Poop Time

At a restaurant, R told us she had to go poo. We started to prepare to get ready for the bathroom when she repeated louder, "I have to go poo poo! I have to go poo poo really bad!!"

After all that, it was a small poo. 

Cookie time

At Disney -

Me: Want to go on a ride to outer space?

R: No. I just want to finish eating my cookie. 

A typical dinner

Me: What are you chewing?

(E opens mouth to show me a piece of steak. It falls to the table)

Both: (laughs)

Me: Don't put that...

(E picks up the chunk of chewed meat and starts eating it again. She finishes). 

E: More, please. 

Angel Kisses

It was a mama sandwich last night, that is, the girls slept on either side of me in bed last night.

I gave them angel kisses when we woke up, and R wanted to try to give me some too. Apparently I wasn't positioning myself correctly because R says, in her most mature voice, using her hands, "Can you...not?"  I cracked up. 

This moment of joy is much welcome as Andy is in the hospital. Reserves (my parents) are coming later today.
