This morning both girls climbed into bed with us. They were squirming all over the place and jumping on us when all of a sudden we hear this loud toot. Followed by complete silence as both girls froze then a few seconds later bust up laughing. Madi yells, "Avery tooted!" Avery then yells, "I TOOTED!" More laughing.

What a great way to wake up on a Sunday morning, eh?

Cereal Drama

The other morning Avery asked for some cereal. I gave her a choice as to which cereal. Well apparently after giving her the cereal with milk and placing it in front of her she changed her mind. I told her no, that she had to eat the cereal that I had poured. Oh boy did that send her into a screaming fit. (She is almost two and those temper tantrums have already started!) I walked away and left her crying at the table. (terrible mom, huh?) After about ten miuntes she stopped crying realizing that wasn't going to get her anything and came into the bedroom where I was cleaning up. She slowly walked over to me and reached out to give me a hug. I got down on my knees and gave her one. We talked and then she left the room. Five minutes later I go into the kitchen, not knowing where she went and found her sitting up in her chair eating her cereal. It just made me laugh and I thought what a good kid....most of the time.

Gassy

Madi and Avery were staying at my parents this weekend while Ryan and I were down in Utah visiting Emily. My mom asked Madi if she needed to go potty after getting up the next morning, which Madi replied, "No, I don't need to go potty. I just have a little bit of gas."

I don't know where she picked that up from...honest!

"Messy baby!"

There's this book that we have that Avery just loves. Everytime we read together she brings me this book. It's a really simple book that shows babies on each page doing different things. For example: babies eating, babies sleepy, babies silly, babies messy. Now everytime Avery is messy, she runs to the bathroom mirror points at her face and yells, "Messy baby!" and laughs at herself. It's pretty darn cute.

Silly Punk!

Usually before bedtime, we give the kids a snack. Sometimes healthy snacks, sometimes well, not so healthy. Tonight I gave them two oreo cookies each, with a cup of milk. Avery digged right in and got cookie all over her face. And this is exactly what Madi had to say about it:

"Hey Avery! Your face looks like dirty! You silly punk!!"

I busted up laughing so hard.
