Exchange with Amelia

A: Medicine.

Me: no, you don't get medicine.

A: sister did.

Me: well, sister has a cold.

Why am I having this argument with a baby?

Orders from Amelia

"Come on Papa. Draw hippo now."

"Come on Papa. Find lid now." She was looking for the cap of her
forehead thermometer. I didn't know she knew it could be called a lid.

I'm not sure why, but I'm finding these funny things to be told to do
by a 19-month-old.

What a poser!

 

 

Amelia was very popular that day.

At the museum with cousins

Mason had an inservice day so my mom and I took the kids to the museum.  I don't know about the kids but we were worn out.

I was very proud of Elizabeth for climbing up by herself.

I'm not too sure about that bus driver

He looks a little crazy.

2 girls playing with dinosaurs

Elizabeth had them in a parade.  Only the nice ones were allowed to be in it.  Amelia made them tap dance.  I'm not kidding.

Look at those baby blues!

 

Thanksgiving

22 people at my mom's house for Thanksgiving.  10 of them were children.  It went very well, actually.  And isn't that turkey beautiful?

See skeerl climb up tree.

See tail sister?

Pretty dang conversational for 19 months.

We love her. Of course we do.

Great quote from Elliebean

"You know what? God is the boss of Mama…and the President!"

Too bad the President doesn't acknowledge that.

OK, she didn't day that last bit. But she did say the first part.

Elliebean as Snow White

She was going to a princess party. She had fun.

Just funny

 

a fairy butterfly princess and an insect.

Gee, who's the first kid and who's the neglected second kid?

Just kidding, we did it on purpose. Junebug, get it?

Just cute. That's it.

 

This was the result of one single Oreo. One.

 

Punkin with a pumpkin

Ellie drew it and I carved it. It rotted pretty quickly, though.

ELIZABETH! RUN! RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

Amelia's joke

Amelia did some joking at dinner.

Amelia: ketchup! Ketchup!

Mama: you already have ketchup.

Amelia: Oooohhhh. (giggle)… joke.

Over and over.

Not much of a joke, but she's only 18 months old. So it's a jolly good
joke by that standard.
