Winding down - although there are a few more presents unwrapped, but boxes not opened. Gotta ease into it - a few more days before they go back to daycare.

Busy, busy, busy.

The boy takes a quiet moment, just for himself at Uncle G and Auntie R's place on Christmas Eve.

G&R (Uncle and Auntie, not Axl and company) have two dogs that the boy just loves. Puppy. PUPPY!!!

That's gonna leave a mark

I found out that the boy, with a lego traincar, at about two paces, thrown with a full body turn ... even by a 2 year old ... can hurt.

I think she has something to say ...

The girl has moved beyond crayons and markers to "oil pastels". Walmart does not stock enough fabric-gard for what is about to ensue.

Some times, being nurturing parents is bloody (I almost typed "bloddy") hard.

Squishing your head

I am squishing your head - in the advanced, one-handed, upside down technique.

(I take so many pictures, that sometimes one gets by me.)

Rules are Rules.

Can't recall if I've used that title before and too lazy to check.

This (3rd hand) was the conversation between the girl and mom coming home from day-care on Friday.
"Mommy, I learned a new rule today"
`What was that?`
"You're not supposed to put your hair in the toilet."
`Did you put your hair in the toilet?!?`
"No, Morgan did. And we learned you're not supposed to put your whole head in the toilet either"
'Who did that?`
"Meagan did."
`Well why did they do that?!?`
"'Cuz Stephanie told them to. But I didn't do it because I know that only pee and poo is supposed to go in the toilet."

Later on - the story changed a bit, because when I asker the girl why she didn't do the same, she said "Because I know I would get in trouble."

I wonder how early someone can apply for Mensa.
