"I'm gonna get their cruds."

Will had been introduced to 'trash talk.' He's recently learned to play Mario Kart on our Nintendo 64 (yes, I know we're technologically behind the times). This morning he was playing and just started saying, "I'm gonna get their cruds." And if he did get their cruds, he would say- "See, that's what I mean."

Will and his Dad tease a lot back and forth, and I just wanted to include a few samples of Will's greatest comebacks.

"You're a stinky shoe that smells like a stinky boot."
"Yeah, because you're a poopdog." (he learned poopdog from his Dad)

I'll add to the list later when I can remember some more, but just had to post before I forgot.

birthday and baby proofing

A happy belated birthday to Sandy (32!) among other things. He turned a year older on February 10th. Below he's sharing some birthday cake with Will. We think Sandy's a great part of our family, and we love him even though he's old!

Hanging out and getting cozy in bed. I don't know what's all over Will's face, but he always seems to have food on there somewhere.

So, I have kind of forgotten about baby proofing certain parts of the house. In our old house, our cupboards were old and didn't easily open. The drawers weren't on rollers so Will was never able to get into anything. Not so in this house. Lydia is forever emptying drawers. Her current favorites are the dishtowel and the foil/plastic wrap/baggies drawer. Very messy. Not to mention the pinched fingers. I guess I'll have to break down and buy some of those drawer locking things.

It's a good thing she's cute!
