PG Warning - This Post has Poop

Well, this actually happened a few weeks ago, but we needed a full cool down period so that it would be funny instead of painful.

Jenn was at home with Oakley while Aspen and I were out getting lunch. Jenn was nicely making up our bed while Oakley took care of her, uh, business. Oakley finished and told Jenn as much. Jenn responded appropriately, saying, "OK, you can go on downstairs and wait for me to change your diaper."

Oakley, being the free spirit that she is, elected to take matters into her own hands. Upon arriving downstairs, Oakley removed her jeans, removed her diaper, placed it in the trash can nicely, and put her jeans back on. She's only two, I know, but she forgot a couple of steps. Namely, she neglected to wipe her bottom and put on a new diaper!

So, when Jenn arrived downstairs, she discovered a bit of a messy situation. Yes, yes, we know. Perhaps this means it's time for potty training. It will come in due time, I tell you. Most likely whenever Oakley decides it is time to take it on.

I thought it was funny, anyway...

So, I couldn't actually laugh when this happened...

Oakley really seems to understand hot food. She often comments when it arrives at the table that it's hot, and she waits. Well, occasionally, she tries to take advantage of that as a reason not to eat.

So, last night, Jenn was holding a spoonful of food up for Oakley to eat. Oakley said, "HOT," which it was not. Jenn suggested she blow on it.

Well, Oakley did so, and with some force. She blew it all on the table and a little on Jenn. That was funny.

(Oakley then proceeded to offer to clean up. She did so by wiping the food with a napkin off the table and into her lap. Jenn, of course, was pleased to see it fell right on her clothes. Ugh!)

New pictures!

That's right, folks. I can now confirm nearly 3 months worth of new pictures are on the website. Go have a look when you feel like it. http://www.flamingobear.com.

"Can we go see Larry?"

Larry is the cucumber from Veggie Tales. We enjoy the Veggies on occasion (in small doses). One of our favorite Christmas CD's is from these folks.

So, on their way back from a visit to Kingsport (which followed a visit to Milwaukee), Aspen mentioned to her mother that she'd like to go see Larry sometime. But then she clarified...

"Actually, I only want to go see Larry if he lives in Nashville. I need a break."

Note: Ironically, Larry does "live" in Nashville, but I don't think Aspen would really be excited to see a recording studio at this point.
