New Baby

as little cj gets more mobile, he is learning to explore. the other morning he was getting a little near to the top of the stairs so i asked kaetlyn to block him as i was finishing up my morning chores. i explained that cj is little and doesn't understand that he will get hurt if he falls down the stairs. she helped in this effort. so, on the way home that day she said, 'mom, we have to make sure cj doesn't fall down the stairs because if he does he will hurt his eye. we don't want him to hurt his eye, so we will have to make sure he doesn't fall down the stairs.... cuz if he gets hurt then we will need to get a new baby.' wow. lol. i told her that we weren't getting a new baby. cj was the only one we got, so we need to make sure he stays ok.

this morning, she found a forgotten pacifier in the car and was very excited. 'mom, santa brought my binky back!!!' she said. i said i think santa just forgot to get that one. she laughed and said, 'santa forgot it?? hehe...can i have it??' i told her no and she seemed ok with it.

kaetlyn thinks tears are called 'drips' and i haven't corrected her yet as i think it's very cute although it did take me a bit to figure out what she was talking about. she likes wiping my 'drips' at night before bed when i am tired and she prefers that hers are wiped away prior to going to sleep. she thinks they keep her awake.... hmm... i wonder if her teachers know this?!?!
