Em: "Here's your juice, baby."
HAR. Erin's into being the mommy and we're all her babies. She generally indicates this game is about to commence by chasing us around with a diaper. (a clean, unused diaper)
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It's cause you're so pretty.
Mwah. Bless you.

not your mom's socks.
Em's newest thing is when one of us tells her "No", she runs to the other one screaming behind her, "I'M GONNA TALL MY DAD/MOM ON YOU FOR TELLING NO!"
this.
"DAAAAAAAD! Mom said a BAD WORD!"
"Which one?"
"She said NO!"
I have completely lost the ability to be comforting.
it doesn't sound like it. it sounds like he's completely enjoying being around you...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
When I win the lottery and have a brazillion dollars, I am putting together an all-expense paid trip for Buffista Parents and Buffista Aunts & Uncles and we're all going to like a big resort and letting the kids loose on a small Carribean island.

Punishingly Intricate
At some point in the past 7 days, I have completely lost the ability to be comforting.
Or you have increased your ability to be amusing.
And I know it's just a phase, but it's fucking depressing all the same.
My best friend's 2-year old boy twin is going through this thing now when, if he gets hurt, he will only let his dad comfort him. That's a hard one to deal with.

When kids hit that alternate parent phase, it SUCKS being the parent they want nothing to do with. So with you there, babe. Mwah.

So much baby/toddler coping ~ma to the wonderful Buffista parents! Aims, I agree that clueless friend is just going to have to find out for himself. "Clueless friend, meet 3. 3 can't wait to get to know you better." Jessica, that must be really frustrating, I'm sorry. I agree that he just finds you too fascinating to sleep.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my favorite story time story
I was reading a story called Happy Dog. It is about a cat that can't play outside, because it is raining. So he paints a friend - and the friend ( a dog ) comes out of painting. T ( who might have been 4) stopped the story time - because he wanted to know how they could get in and out of the painting. The class discuses it for a few minutes ( by the way , my ideas were useless) and finally came to the conclusion it was magic paint ( the three yr old version of handwaving I think). But it was a very logical and analytical discussion for kids under 5.

Trust me, I am neither pretty nor interesting at 3 in the morning. But you guys are wonderful anyway.
