I was famous for biting through my lower lip whenever I fell.

So he'd comfort for actual pain, but if it was just a toddler WTF he'd start clapping and say, "Great slide! Home run!" and the kid would start beaming.

Hee. We've done that. If Sara falls but gets up without crying, we'll sometimes say, "Oops! How'd that happen?" And she'll laugh -- and then usually try to do it again on purpose.

Blah. Can I interrupt for a moment? It's my DexH's birthday today, and he's on IM. I wished him a happy birthday, and he ignored me. He's been doing that every time I've pinged him lately. I thought we'd patched things up last summer, but apparently not so much. It makes me sad.

Okay, done now. Please return to your previous how-toddlers-survive-is-a-mystery conversation.

I'm afraid, however, I'd be the first one to cry!

No you wouldn't. Kids are total boo-boo whores.

My dad's oft-repeated phrase was "You know how to make that stop hurting? Don't do it anymore."

Excellent advice that kids never heed.

Nor some adults, apparently. glares at self

Oh, Kristin, that's sucky. I'm sorry.

I loved your "but not into that outlet" from before, though! Made me laugh.

I'm sorry, Kristin. Any chance he's just left his IM on but isn't actually at the computer? (Speaking as someone who does that all the time...)

I suppose so, but it seems awfully consistent. Anyway, nothing to do about it really. It's just a bummer.

Oh Aimee, I have some dresses and such that Franny has outgrown, some of it cute, but some of it too small for Em probably. You should come over and the kids can play, andwhat clothes are too small for Em can be mailed to Lily.

I'd love that! I'll email you.

Let's go play with [insert toy].

Yes, I went to a nawty worm place.

Trust you, SuziQ.

I don't know that we ever did find that thing.

I think Lee reclaimed it.
