Poop Story #??

Maureen, looking into the toilet: It's a poop eh-stravaganza in the toilet!

Shopping With Maddie

Madeline LOVES the food section at Target. Boxes of cake mix and muffins were right at eye level. She grabbed a box of yellow cake mix with chocolate frosting and said, "MMMMMmmm....back?!" And tossed it into the cart. Then ran over and grabbed a cinnamon struesel muffin mix. Maureen wanted blueberry so there was some negotiating between them and they settled on blueberry. Again, Madeline was all big-eyed and full of " Mmmmmm....back, back, back" and then tossed it in the cart.

Miiiiiinnnne!

Madeline, every very day pretty much all day: Miiiinnnne! Mine ball! Mine ball! Miiiiinnnnne. Un-uh. Milk?

On Death and Dying...

Maureen: I miss that Grandma.

MaShell: I know, we all miss Grandma Helen.

Maureen: She's dead. And now she's in the ground.

I Need to Find Erin a House

Maureen with a very sad face: I miss Erin.

MaShell: I know, I do too.

Maureen: I have to find her a house. That way she can move back here and be my aunt again.

MaShell: She's still your aunt.

Maureen: No she's not. She moved. That's why I have to find her a house here.

Caroline was SO good!

Our nanny writes up a little summary of what happened during the day. Today, in Caroline's first grade handwriting Caroline wrote: Caroline was so good today. And the "so" was clearly a last minute squeezed in addition.

Mmmm

Maureen to PT: Dad, everything tastes better when it's dipped in something.
