Catching up the ol' blog to the facebook posts (excluding pictures) 8/6/12: When You Know You Need to Help Your Partner: "No honey, don't pull him, he's not a wishbone... don't pull his legs." 8/7/12: Me: I love you, Melanie. Melanie: I love Daddy. Me: You don't love me? Melanie: No, I love Daddy. 8/13/12: Reflecting on a precious moment yesterday: Melanie was clowning around with her Mr. Potato Head and Devin was just watching her & laughing. Seeing the two of them interact made me a little misty eyed! :) They're going to be best friends for life. I love that - and I love my siblings! :) 8/16/12: As I dressed Devin in a onesie made for a 9 month old, something finally dawned on me. When I was younger, it bothered me when tall men dated/married petite women because it shrunk the dating pool for tall women. Now I realize that tall men and tall women make giant babies. Brian should have married a Kristen Bell (5'1") while I should've married Gene Kelly (5'7"). 8/22/12: I'm such a parent. I was explaining a situation at work and I was so tempted to finish it with, "...and the next thing I knew, my donkey fell in your waffle hole. Right? Who's with me?" 8/24/12: Melanie asked for music this morning, so I flipped through the channels until she tells me to stop. Her pick: Rage Against the Machine. 8/28/12: I'm trying to teach Melanie how to spit out her toothpaste. Me: (to Brian) How do you teach a child how to spit? Brian: I'm trying to teach you how not to! ba-doom-ching! Devin just rolled over from his belly to his back!! Tami told me he's done it a few times at daycare, but I wanted to wait to see it for myself. :) My big, strong boy! :) He's now on his belly again, and I'm looming over him with the camera on standby. 9/1/12: "The Wiz": Scares me. Entertains Melanie. So, I suffer in silence. Actual dialogue this morning: "Melanie, eat your toast. If you eat this piece of toast, you can have more bacon. Don't eat it all at once. If you spit up the toast, you won't have any bacon. If you hide the toast, you won't get any more bacon. If you drop the toast, you won't get any more bacon." 9/3/12: Yup, I'm going to facebrag: Devin slept from 11:00pm to 7:30am today! :D Whoo-hoo!! :)
