Gerber Babies

When brother-in-law John Michael was queried on if he thought his God-daughter looked like the Gerber Baby, he replied.... "no, she looks like she swallowed the Gerber baby!". Okay... she is a little "thick".

Outta Town

Baby Kate and I got on a plane yesterday b/c I had work in CA. Not even 24 hours away and look at the email I received from a girlfriend! Those darn boys....

I'm in the deli section waiting for the chick to finish cutting my lunch meat, when I spot your husband and son. Shad's got his hands full of the Spongebob yogurt, 4 other adult yogurts and a gallon of milk in one hand. I ask Reilly how his "boy time" with Dad is going. He tells me
he's "just getting a few things" at the store. So, to make conversation, I ask him what he had to get. He replies, "Spongebob yogurt!" He seemed so excited about the fact that it's Spongebob. So I ask him, "Spongebob like your underwear?" Reilly then proceeds to quickly drop his pants to check if he's wearing them. The poor child seemed quite confused when he saw plain old tighty whiteys instead. Shad just stood back and shook his head while my face turned bright red knowing I was the cause. Luckily, it was after 8:00pm, so there were very few people in the store. (However, the 70 year old lady standing at the deli counter seemed quite horrified.)

So, I'm sorry! See what happens in less than 24 hours of you leaving the state?

I'm tickling my bum

So... this morning, Reilly, who is currently being potty trained comes in my bedroom with his hand in the back of his boxer shorts.
I said "Reilly, get your hand out of your pants"
"it's okay Mom"
"why is it okay"
"because it's not through"
"it's not through what???"
"it's not through my underpants, it's just in my shorts"
"well.... what are you doing"
"I'm tickling my bum"

I suppose a light went on. The light that showed me that in the world of a 3 year old, tickling your own bum is perfectly acceptable. As a matter of fact, it's a good time.
