When she's 18

Babydaddy can only hope that in 15yrs Babygirl would write a post like this about him and not like this.

Hope everyone has a great wknd!

Many Firsts

Today, Babymama and Babygirl went off to Sesame Street Live(first show/concert), while Babyboy and Babydaddy went for their first run together.

The whole family enjoyed their very own brand new car together this past week.

In a month Babyboy will enjoy his 1st birthday!

In the past month Babygirl has mastered how to use the mousepad on the laptops, and learn how to pause the TV when she has to go to the potty.

In 2 months the whole family will move for the 1st time below the Mason Dixon line.

In 2 months Babydaddy will go from having 3 employers to becoming an entrepreneur/small business owner.

In 4 months Babymama will return to FT work for 1st time in 3.5 years. She will be a FT college prof for the 1st time.

Technically every day is a new day full of new experiences, but sometimes one can lose sight of that when  juggling family, work, home, life, etc.

How to Get a Ride

Babygirl is no different than any other kid, loves to get a free ride, whether it's being held in someone's arms, piggyback ride, or riding on top of someone's shoulders.

Here are the many ways babydaddy is asked for a ride:

"Can I get a piggyback ride?"

"Dragon(that's babydaddy, see previous post) can I have a ride?"

"Can I pretend to be your backpack?" <----babydaddy's fav, and babygirl's newest way of manipulating her daddy into giving her a ride.

insight?

babygirl told me that her "baby" was sad. babydaddy asked why she was sad, like the good child therapist, and babygirl responds "she misses her daddy because he drove away."  Why? "because he had to go to work."

OUCH!

how could babydaddy not feel any guilt about that one, or babygirl has already mastered the art of manipulation.

babydaddy was very conscious about the number of times hugs and "i love you were" were handed out this evening.

fun things

babygirl obsessed with "bookies and crusties." Boogies like nose boogies, but there can also be crusties beneath the nose too. Crusties tend to be anything that's nasty like lint btwn her toes, floaters in her bathtub, etc.

babyboy likes to clap, as well as likes to take my hands in his hands so that my hands are clapping.

babygirl has "names" or "character names for the family. For instance, she likes to watch the Fresh Beat Band, she's Kiki, babymama is Maria, Babyboy is Shout, and babydaddy is Twist, or she's Mini, babymama is Daisy, babyboy is Donald, and babydaddy is Goofy, etc. As you can see this goes on for almost any show she watches like the Care Bears, Sesame Street, Wonder Pets, or the Backyardigans. The crazy things is that her assignment of "names" is consistent and gets mad when we don't follow or play along.

babyboy likes to move around by kicking one leg out and scooting himself around on his but, thanks goodness we have hardwood floors.

babygirl only wears dresses, tutu's, skirts, and tights.  She refuses to wear pants, and will change outfits at least x3/day.


babyboy continues to just be chill and likes to hang out under tables.

 All in all, everyone is happy and healthy!
