Family Funnies

Anna pooped in the bath the other night and I could hardly catch my breath from laughing so hard when Josh started howling and moaning in panic once he spotted the contaminants while bathing her. All I could do was scramble to get Noah out of the tub and in all the hullabaloo of our shock and laughing, Noah fell into tears, not quite sure what to make of the ruckus. Which only made us laugh some more...once we calmed him down of course. ;)

Josh set Noah up with an ice cream sandwich yesterday. Noah was so antsy to get that goody into his hands and keep anyone from taking it he kept telling Anna; "Go away! Anna, go away!" Several minutes after leaving Noah be with his treat I saw him picking paper out of his mouth. Yes, that ravenous little guy ate the ice cream sandwich, paper and all!

Noah likes to sing the Happy Birthday song lately, so you can imagine his joy at being told that Daddy's birthday is coming up. No sooner had I tipped him off than he started a round of the tune for his Daddy. I then asked him what he thinks we should get Daddy for his birthday. Noah thought and thought and decided on a dinosaur. After I stopped giggling, I told him Daddy already has dinosaurs. I asked him what else we could maybe get for Daddy. Noah thought and thought and decided on "treats". Yes, yes, I say. We will get Daddy a birthday cake for his treat. But we still need a present for him. So I asked Noah a third time, and clearly he thought we were looking for something more boring than the dinosaurs and treats he came up with, because after another moment of pondering he decided his Daddy should get ... drumroll please ... a book. --- Eh, it's a step in the right direction, I guess. We'll work on it. :)

I have said before how interested Noah is in all of Anna's dirty diapers. It will not surprise you to know then that when Josh got some binoculars in the mail today that Noah used them to view Anna's next dirty diaper. Boys.
