Speaks the Language

McKay has been getting really good at idiomatic English.
We know where he has heard some of them, others, we're not so sure.

Tonight, he was pulling things off his bookshelf, causing a book avalanche onto his toes & lower legs.

This clip was what we heard next. Dan cried laughing for 10 minutes while I kept a straight face and acted the concerned Mama.

Et tu, McKay?

I went shopping yesterday morning for Lorraine's b-day, with McKay in tow. After we were done, he spent the afternoon with Lorraine. When I got home, she told me that he unabashedly and without reservation told Lorraine what we went shopping for.

Can't take the kid anywhere anymore...

Peanut Butter and Jelly Fish

Had a great day yesterday. We took our newest family member on a road trip to the Aquarium in Chattanooga. Great Aquarium, really need a few days to see it all. They had a 'Ray and Shark petting pool, neon lit jellyfish that was very futruristic.

Jelly Fish are ok, Sharks are ok, SeaHorses are ok, Sting Rays are ok. Scuba divers are scary. All in all a fun day with no tantrums, and lots of cruise control.

Hot Date

When at a drive in on a Saturday night

Don't let a toddler sit in the front seat
Really don't let a toddler sit on the driver's lap.
REALLY don't let a toddler rest his feet on the steering wheel.
REALLY REALLY don't let a toddler lock his knees...and thus sound the dulcet sounds of a car horn for what seems like hours.

enough said.

Blame Kirsten

She made me do it. She MADE me. It's not as career-oriented as a firefighter's hat or a chef's toque, but it's pretty close.
