Sayings


As I'm changing a poo diaper today:
Aubrey: Daddy...you have to be soft with my butt!
Me: I know Aubrey, I'm trying. But you know, if you put your poopies in the potty it wouldn't hurt when we wipe.
Aubrey: [silence].......Daddy you have to be soft with my butt because it's expensive!

We took all Aubrey's stuffed animals out of her crib today to play tea party. We even brought out some that were in the closet. Right before bed we were cleaning them all up, discussing which would go into the crib and which would go into the closet. She surprised me by handing me her snow monkey, which has been a sleeping staple for many months. "Aubrey, you love your snow money." "No Daddy...he's too hairy. He can go in the closet." He is pretty hairy. I chuckled and put him up with the other cast-offs.


We read a few books. Into bed Aubrey went. Into the living room I went. Tracy finishes putting Charlotte to sleep and goes into say goodnight to Aubrey. The first thing Aubrey says to Tracy? "Daddy won't let me sleep with the snow monkey...he's in the closet".

Otherwise we still all have the stomach ick. Ick.

Things we do

When mommy is sick and laying in bed groaning....Daddy and Charlotte and Aubrey practice Vogue dancing to Rick Springfield's Don't Talk to Strangers (yes, every song must also be an object lesson). Aubrey's great at the moves and keeps a very straight face. Charlotte giggles and buries her face in the blankets when we sing, "baby don't you know-oh?!?". Next up on the iPod? Rick's Celebrate Youth. And so we did.
