total 180

it's my usual type of post... kid things that happened today.

1. belly wakes up from her nap, looks up at me, smiles and says, "i had a good nap."

2. belly, bulilit and nanny are watching tv in the basement, i'm sitting in the dining room doing work slash having lunch. i hear:
belly: it's pocoyo!
nanny: what? who?
b: i think it's pocoyo!!
mommy: pocoyo?? what channel is he on?
b: nick jr!

(is it totally wrong that i am super excited about pocoyo being on nick jr.? if you have no idea what i'm talking about, check him out. ah-dor-able and so catchy.)



3. e is out at a baseball game, so i get the kids situated and belly helps me cook dinner of homemade chicken tenders and pancakes. (can you tell she helped with the menu?) anyway, we are sitting at her new princess table (thanks pinky!) and chowing down. bulilit starts saying, "dada" so belly proceeds to go through the (short) list of words that bulilit knows.

belly: say, dada.
bulilit: dada.
b1: say mama.
b2: mama.
b1: say more.
b2: moooooor (at least that's what it sounds like).
b1: say doggie.
b2: WOOF-WOOF!

4. but of course, the evening could not end there. belly decided she didn't like having to sleep in the basement and would not sleep. awake babies + no daddy at home = mommy not being able to do her nightly ritual of cleaning up the house and catching up on work (because it's absolute hell with work right now). cue yelling match slash crying with a sprinkle of screams (and, um, spanks) for good measure. 2 hours after belly finally, FINALLY goes to sleep, bulilit wakes up and is yelling something fierce. SIGH. (i'm going to go hide in a corner now.)

soooooooo it's now 2:10 am and i think i am finally ready to go to bed. wonder if it will be a peaceful night ...
