Retrospective funniness
Melina had her 6 month well check today. She checked out well. Meanwhile, Aaron was sitting on the floor of the doctor's office playing with a bead-and-wire maze. He especially likes the red beads.
We've had much to say about Aaron on this blog lately. Part of that is because the girls are at school all day, and hearing the funny things that pop out of their mouths is limited to before and after school, and on weekends. They are also at the age that more rational things start to come from those same mouths. Now, we didn't have the blog going when they were 4, but I looked back in my journal to grab a couple of priceless anecdotes to share here:
Anecdote #1
Zoe, age 1.5 years, was standing behind me with her thumb in her mouth and her finger in her nose. I was changing Talia's diaper on the floor.
Laughs all around!
Anecdote #2
Aaron was learning how to use the potty. We taught him to use the potty while sitting, and then progressed to standing. As happens with little boys, all of a sudden (for no apparent reason) Aaron had an erection. This did not go unnoticed by the girls.
Aaron: Mom, what are those red things in our body?Lest you think his science curriculum is limited to physiology, Tim recounted another story from the night before. They were reading the lovely book, What Does Violet See? Birds and Nests. We love that book. On one page, there is a picture of a stream in the distance that flows behind some rocks.
Me: Red blood cells.
[We had discussed RBCs late last week when he saw a picture of them in a book.]
Aaron: Check out how these red blood cells move. And the green blood cells, too!
Aaron: What is that? [He points to the thin blue line, indicating the stream.]***
Tim: That is the stream that runs next to the rocks.
Aaron: Oh. I thought it was a sound wave.

Zoe, age 1.5 years, was standing behind me with her thumb in her mouth and her finger in her nose. I was changing Talia's diaper on the floor.
Me: Zoe, you shouldn't put your finger in your nose.Zoe took said finger out of her nose, walked over to Talia, and stuck said finger in Talia's nose instead.
Laughs all around!

Twin who shall remain nameless: Mommy! Aaron must be growing, because his penis is bigger!My apologies to those who find potty humor and body parts embarrassing.
