99 bottles of beer on the wall

Ting to Mason: See we put one puzzle back, take one down, pass it around, that's what it's all about...
Steve: That's not right.

Power of "Please"

We finished the bowl of homemade apple chips...
Mason: More chips!
Mommy: All gone.
Mason: More chips please!
Mommy: It's all gone.
Mason: Daddy! More please!
Mommy: It's all gone.
Mason: Daddy! More chips! Please!

The Artist

Mason: "Mama I draw tunnel! Go through it?" He then puts his face on the picture of his tunnel.

Just like daddy

Ting: "Taylor looks just like you when she smiles."
Steve: "Mystery solved, we finally know what I would look like if I was a baby girl."

Conversation skills

Mason was telling me about his swim lesson...

Ting: Can you take your toes out of my ear while you talk?

Shopping

Went to Target to get some clothes for the growing toddler.

Mason: "All done pants, no shirt, find toys, ok! Lets go! Come on! Mommy coming?"

Boys' room

To simplify nighttime, Steve has been sleeping in Mason's room and I have been cosleeping with Taylor on the big bed. I never fully appreciated the accuracy of the phrase "it looks like a bomb went off in here" until I walked into the boys' room today.

You sneeze like rain


Mason started it. He had a runny nose and cough. But I guess taking vitamin c's don't defend against being constantly coughed at directly in the face. So I was down, shortly followed by Taylor.

Taylor, my baby girl is having her first cold at 3 months thanks to her brother (who didn't experience his first cold until 9 months). She ain't holding back on her coughs and sneezes either. I said to her today, "oh my goodness, you sneeze like rain. The big drops kind that smacks you in the face."

What my 2 year old son says while taking a dump

Mason: "Here it comes.... there it is. Whoa...Biiiiiiiig poopoo and biiiiiiiig peepee. Like a big truck."

Dog cone

Mason fell and broke the skin on his chin and bit his lip. Blood everywhere. I wrestled a gauze and tape onto his jawline and let him watch TV.

Ting to Steve: "I don't know what to do about nap, the TV is distracting him from ripping it off, like a dog cone."

Take me to the washroom!


Our daughter, at 12 weeks old, developed a preference for pooping in the sink rather than in her diaper. I take off her diaper and hold her by her thighs over the sink and she happily does her business.

Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic not to have to change a poopy diaper, especially for a girl. But she's getting heavy, and when it's 5am... Just poop in the diaper!

(Yes I still crawl out of bed to take her otherwise she'll cry until I do.)
