Singing

Rachel likes me to sing to her on the way to work (about 30 minutes). However, I'm not really up on all my nursery songs, so I have to make them up. She seems to like that and throws out a multitude of topics for me to sing about. Her favorite is for me to "sing the diaper."

It goes like this:
Diaper, diaper, bo-biaper, banana fana fo-fiaper, ee I O iaper, Diaper.

I will not be quiting my day job to be a song writer.

Morning Grouch

On Rachel's birthday, I went in and in a cheerful, sing-song Mommy voice I said, "Good morning, Rachel. It's your birthday. Happy Birthday!"

She responded, "No Happy My Birthday!"

Today Chris and I went in to wake her up. Chris said, "You're two years and two days old."

She responded, "DON'T TELL ME!"

A little grouchy in the morning.

She's 2

Confusion about Shaving

Hubby told me that Michael said, "Dad, I need to use your razor. I'm getting hair on my legs."

TOOTH STILL LOOSE!!!

I'm serious! Is this a record? I don't remember ever having a loose tooth for this long. He's really not concerned at all about wiggling it. Even Rachel is anxiously wiggling hers and telling me, "Mom, this one WIGGLEY"

Tooth STILL Loose

Michael and I went to the dentist for our regular 6-month cleaning and check up. The hygenist confirmed, his tooth is STILL loose. I remember being relentless with my wiggling of loose teeth until they finally broke free. He is really not interested in making it come out any faster than it's own sweet time.

Tooth Loose!

Michael came to me after brushing his teeth and said that he thought his teeth were starting to fall out because he noticed a gap between the bottom two middle ones. I'd noticed it too over the last couple of days and thought that it must have always been there. So, I tried to wiggle some of them, AND... one moved!!! His first wiggley tooth! It's so newly loose that he can't feel it move, but I definitely saw it move when I pushed a little on it. He's excited that about the tooth fairly and said, "maybe she'll bring me a hundred bucks!"

I don't think she will.
