Kid conversation

Marian is a hoot. Yesterday I said it was time to get ready to go to Amy's house. (Brook was going to babysit her for me for a bit, and she was also going to be hosting PlayGroup, which would start about 30 minutes before I was done.) I wanted to encourage her to get ready, so I said, "You'll have lots of friends to play with at Amy's house." Marian said "Do they like me because I'm pretty?"

Wow, how did I go so wrong?! I said, "No they like you because you are smart and funny." She said "And I'm a good killer?"

Before I worried over that I asked, "A good killer?" and she said "I'm a good monster killer!"

Oh, well, that clarified things and I felt better. I said "Yes, your friends like you because you are a good monster killer." She was satisfied and hopped up to go. And I laughed and laughed.

I'm not laughing so much now. Dan came home from work and let me take a little nap. then he came upstairs and took a nap. He emerged for 10 minutes to say he felt sick, and went back to bed. Then not to bed, but to worship the porclain goddess. Again and again and again. So, a rotten evening for him. Callie came to the dinner table babbeling something about puke. I became suspicious of the wet mark on her shirt. Upon further questioning, I deduced it was she who had done the puking. Wonderful girl that she is, she'd done it in the sink! And after she finished feasting on oranges and spagetti, she repeated the process. I'm impressed that a 2 year old can climb on the toilet and yak into the sink!

Delaney has moved past the excessive puking part. She's having other end issues. Like I had to change her sheets and outfit after her nap, and again this evening. Unfortunately I also had to change my shirt when I realized why it was damp. Ick!

So its a fun evening for us all! It could be worse, and I'll be thankful that it isn't.
