The Husband and the Cheerios.

et me tell you a different story about a container of cheerios.

A husband got mad and threw a container of cheerios on the floor...where he left it. (note: the anger was in no way directed a the wife)

The nice wife pointed out that if the container had exploded she would of had to pick them all up! To which the husband replied that 'NOOOO, he would have picked them up'

Wife laughed to herself and started her day. Refusing to pick up the container as the husband should.

His dear wife walked by with a basket of laundry later in the day. She did not see the cheerios and kicked the container.

The lid was actually off from the throw earlier in the day.

Cheerios now scattered across the master bedroom from the wife's sure footed kick.

To which the wife said "DAMN IT!" and the toddler mimicked 'Damn it'.....

AWESOME moment in my day.

Parental Education

More tidbits of conversations with Nora.....

We go on family walk about twice a week just to wear Nora out while mommy and daddy have adult conversation. Sometimes just Daddy talks Nora on a walk while mommy is busy at night working.

Rich: Hey Nora what that!? (points in the sky)
Nora: Moooon!
Rich: and what's next to the moon?
Nora: OOOp it her! (Jupiter)
Me: Seriously! Seriously, could you geek my daughter out more?

The things my scientifically minded husband will teach this child scares me! Only because mommy is so artistically minded that I won't understand what she's saying!

It's been raining ALOT lately, a truly ridiculous amount. Nora loves to splash in puddles and run in the rain. Yeah, I let her, it wasn't cold and it's fun for her.

Leaving the gym yesterday....

Nora: Mommy, it wet! Spash! (jumping in a parking lot puddle)
Me: Splash! That's a great puddle baby.

Nora looking at me quizzically, 'No pig mommy, water!'

Me: Well, yes there is no Puddle piggy but it's still called a puddle.

To clarify for those that don't know...there's a Nick Jr. show with two pigs called 'Toot and Puddle' and of course her word association is with a pig, not a wet divot on the ground.

Did you know?

That everyone poops!

Conversation with Nora in the car on the way to preschool this morning.

"Mommy my poop!"

I look back to see my child holding her crotch in her car seat. I have figured out that she tells you this when she goes pee in her diaper. Too late!!!

'Nora did you go poo poo'

'No poo poo now.' (Well yes, because you just FINISHED) Mommy, daddy poop?'

'Yes daddy poops'

'Andew poop diaper too? Kapy poop? (me "yes") Poppy poop, Nonni poop?

'Yes baby everyone poops, but big people poo in the potty'

'Poo potty?' (giggles like this is the craziest thing mommy has ever said)

and just so she made sure she started asking if all her friends at preschool poo'd too.

Do you think the potty training is going well? She's got the concept, now if only there was some follow through!
