We've all been sick this week with various ailments...I won't go into the nasty details, (well, okay, if you insist) except for one. Tonight Asher, now a whopping 8 months old, finished nursing, so I stood him up on my lap to give him a little, "hey babe", before putting him down for bed. I could just see his little stomach starting to lurch. Lucky for me, I caught the first handful in, well, my hand. Danny was super quick on bowl-duty, so before you knew it, Baby Boy was vomiting in a throw-up bowl just like his big brother and sisters do. Such a proud moment for a mother. A little scary too, as I also had my new-ish and very loved MacBook Pro on my lap. Poor Asher.
Rewind to Sadie and Mollie watching a Dora video.
One girl: Mommy, The Map isn't wearing any clothes!
Me: Uh uh...that's because...he's a rolled up piece of paper.
Other girl: But why doesn't he even wear any underpants?
Me: Umm...I guess because he doesn't have a bottom.
See? All sorts of wisdom gained from watching characters on a screen. At least Sadie and Mollie respond when Dora asks them something though. Jeremy used to just sit and stare at the tv with a blank stare. Again, the joys of motherhood. It's amazing how a little interaction between your children and their tv friends can bring a bit of joy. Thanks Melanie for the inspiration to write things down.
