I had forgotten how much entertainment 1 year olds can be. They stumble around like miniature drunken sailors, drooling all over themselves, and *everything* I do is freakin hilarious to them. Today I did this little stunt where I swat flies. It cracked her little diapered ass up every time! I mean complete and full, total belly laugh. I thought Oh my god! I am the shit! AAhhhh fun times. Though in her defense, I just tried to swat a fly a few minutes ago, and it was fairly comical. I have really bad aim, so I was all stretched over flapping the flyswatter in the fly's general direction..
Okay yeah, you really had to be here to fully appreciate the situation.
Also on the baby shinnanigans front - Korah and I have a new game. I'll sit her on my lap, and ball up her blankie in front of her. I say "SNUGGLESNUGGLE" and then she buries her face in the blanket, wiggles it around a bit, then looks up and laughs with me. It's great fun. Once again, you probably have to be here. It's so awesome to be able to see her go from boring diaper-lump sleep all day newborn to a little person that interacts with me. I forgot how incredibly awesome that stuff is.
Today Kyle announced that he was a Lion, and that I was a dog. So he would roar, and then I'd have to bark. For like 5 minutes. Eventually I was like Wow, you are a good roarer! Partly because I was getting tired of the game? And he tells me Dogs no talk like Tacie! In other words, shut up and bark, lady.
Eventually I asked if we could switch animals, with high hopes of getting to choose my own.. I was going to go for the cow. Mooing is my favorite animal sound to make. But, he picked that he got to be a dinosaur (so he could still roar), and I was now a .. ladybug.
So I'm dumb. I admit it. I had to ask just exactly what kind of sound a ladybug made. He makes this really pathetic/weeny HHHMmm sound, and made me repeat it numerous times until I got it right before we could start the game again.
This is the best job EVER!
Kyle is learning the concept of "please".
So every time I get bossy and tell him to do something he says "What do you saaaaay?"
