My Fam-ah-lee

This is just a cute little Kate story. She woke in the middle of the night and wandered into my room. (She had wet herself a little and wanted me to take her potty and change her). Instead of calling for mommy, she called for her family or fam-ah-lee. It was like 4am and I was cracking up at her calling for her fam-ah-lee.

Also when I picked Lydia up from daycare she was so cute. She was standing next to the toy bin picking out toys. I was wowed with how big she looked, she is growing up so fast and at that moment just looked like a toddler to me. Then when we were leaving I put her down to help get kate ready and she of couse takes off into the kitchen. We are learning Lydia is a garbage disposal and loves to eat, so I'm sure she was headed to the kitchen to find spare cheerios that hadn't been swept up from lunch. Selda caught her and brought her back in to me. Of course Selda was just lovin on her and kissing her and such and then handed her to me. Lydia immediately fell back to Selda (you know how babies do that, sorta just reach over to the other person like "take me"). I couldn't believe Lydia did that, she wanted to stay at daycare with Selda! So Selda loved on her and handed her back to me, Lydia was mad and cried the whole way out to the car. Doesn't even seem like my kids ever want me to be home with them.

Where Pee Pee Comes From?

About a month ago I was in the kitchen one morning and I heard Brock come down stairs and go into the powder room to do his business, the door was ajar and Kate waltzed right in because she was so excited to see her daddy up. She looked at her dad, going potty and then I overheard her say "Daddy your pee pee is coming from your trunk". I bursted into tears laughing so hard, I asked Brock, "where did she get that from?" He just laughed and said he had no idea. Now when daddy goes potty and Kate is on his heels, he asks her for some privacy. I've seen her stand outside the door throwing a fit, not really understanding why she can't be invited in.

Who's got my Octagon?

This video clip from Seasame Street has become a family favorite. We are always playing off of it. We say things to each other like "Who's got my Octagon?" or "Have you seen my Octagon?", or "Give me back my Octagon!". It's funny to see Kate get into it. This morning we were driving and she tells me "Mom can you catch all my octagons" and I told her "sure throw them up here to me". I had to admit I am a pretty good octagon catcher. It helps when you have a great octagon pitcher though. Jack Black is crazy as usual in the clip, he's totally into it.

Lookin Up to the Big Sister

Here's a cute little video from the other day. I just love how Lydia is just mesmerized by her big sister. About 2 seconds before I shot this video Kate was feeding single cheerios to Lydia, just like she was a little pet and Lydia would beg for more. Kate got distracted by the TV and stopped feeding her but Lydia is still hoping Kate will give her a few more. I'm surprised Lydia isn't freaking out on Kate which is what she does lately when she doesn't get her way.
