kid runs to window but misses the plow go by, "oh no! Want see it, please, please, please, please go back!"


Baby Monitor Update (to my new followers, this is the actual dialog my son has with himself and various other things in his room before he falls asleep at night):

Pillow Pet made a guest appearance today in the living room to watch the Puppy Bowl on the DVR. He was seen snacking on Doritos, even though what he really wanted was Gummy Bears.

Mommy, "good morning sweetie!"
Kid, "good morning mommy!"
touches mommy's hair, "Mommy, you hair wild, mommy get haircut today, OK?"

Blue blankie was substituted today for blue blankie #2. The switch was undetected. However, upon leaving the dryer, blue blankie #1 was spotted and the 2 year old may have suspected the switch but then he was distracted by a pair of interesting under ware in the hamper which became a very stunning hat
