Grinning Dinner Shorts

The day is not complete without a few more anecdotes about the kids...

*In the past few months, M's answer to every yes/no question has been "No" even if he wishes to answer in the affirmative. Just the other day, however, he began articulating "Yes", clearly and decidedly, which has been a welcomed change. All this said, yesterday we spent time on campus with our friend, Shannon. Shannon was holding M (while mom parked the car) when the little fella ripped a loud one (sorry Mom). Shannon laughed and asked, "M, did you toot?" expecting little in response. Surprisingly, M turned to her and answered an emphatic, "Yes!" Shannon lost herself in laughter. I guess it's time to teach the little guy about averting flatulent blame! ha ha

*Little T was sitting in his feeding chair the other day and reached out to grab the window blinds. Seeing this as an opportunity to introduce right/wrong, I said, "No T, the blinds are not for you." Soon after, M came over and with finger out said, "No, no, timeout" to the baby. I just laughed and laughed while trying to explain that little T is still too young for time in the corner. Thank goodness I have M here to regulate in the future.

*Not quite an anecdote, but T is now saying "dadadadada." I have a sneaking suspicion his father worked with him on the sounds the other morning just to show up his recent "mamamama" achievement. Dad couldn't be left out of the picture. I also caught T today trying to bring up his legs underneath him on tummy time. This is big for the little fella, who still refuses to roll from back to front at almost 7.5 mos! All in due time...
