Partners in Crime

Well there I was in the kitchen, doing some dishes, while Leah was playing with her books, and Lucy was quietly gnawing on her rope toy. Or so I thought... until suddenly I heard a big noise near the table. I turned around to find Leah and Lucy quite ecstatic about a can of Gerber Puffs that had been completely emptied onto the floor! As far as I can gather, Lucy got the canister off the table, Leah took the lid off, dumped the contents, and both of them dug in. I started to scold Lucy, but then realized that this was one of those priceless baby-and-her-puppy-moments that I would miss someday, so I got my camera instead. At least I had just vacuumed!

"Hey Lucy! That one was mine!"

Lucy now has a palate for banana flavored rice puffs after
finishing off this mess...

3 little monkeys!

These three are going to have lots of fun together! (And probably cause a decent amount of trouble! )

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
