Bedtime

Last night after my second trip up the stairs to calm the kids down, I said to Lyla "If you keep crying you don't get to watch any shows tomorrow and you will go straight to bed time-out." She started crying harder and said "That makes my feelings saaaaad!"

Reasons To Get Out of Bed When You Should Be Sleeping

Lyla just called down from the top of the stairs:

"Mommy, my nails are getting a little bigger!"

But Mom....

We spent the holiday weekend at my(Katherine's) parents house, and on Friday night my mom spiced things up a little bit by making a turkey biryani for dinner. Although Lyla had eaten a similar dish earlier in the week, when she took the first bite of this one it came right back out into her lap as she yelled "It's not tasty!"

Dance Party

Grandpa (Katherine's dad) recorded a CD of songs for his grandchildren. It's a huge hit in our house and something Lyla and Will love to dance to.

(This one's my favorite.)

Boy v. Girl

When Lyla was around 18 months, she would play with her little Fisher Price sheep in the barn, letting them eat and go in and out of doors. This week Will was sitting in the car with two little sheep yelling "BAAAAAA BAAAAAAA" as he slammed them into each other.
