– There’s something wrong when I see a Special K commercial featuring the Wiggles song “Hot Potato” in it. My head has never snapped up to look at the TV quite so quickly. Strangely, the thing that really caught my attention was hearing the song not sung by the Wiggles. Special K advertising using Wiggles tunes – think they are going for the mommy demographic?
– We have a new head injury record: three in a single weekend. You may remember the previous two: one from a cat dish, the other from COSI. The third happened this morning, on the Ohio State University campus, as Cordelia attempted to run after me because I had the gall to attempt to go to the bathroom without her. She didn’t make it up the step in the room, and the result was forehead meeting marble step. A quarter sized, purple lump now accompanies her other head injuries. A friend describes this period of toddlerhood as the “period of time when you think the parents abuse them.” I tend to think of it as the time when their coordination just hasn’t caught up to their speed.
– And finally, I had requests to see Cordy’s dishtowel Russian yenta, so I tried to catch her in action. Sadly, I couldn’t get her to do it. However, she did grace us with a performance of several Bible characters.
I present, Moses (“Let my people go!”):
And the Virgin Mary:
I love kids imaginations and their ability to turn the most seemingly mundane household items into ANYTHING. Zoe has a “pretend” box which contains a pipe cleaner, a pair of sunglasses, a ribbon, a headband with zebra ears on it, and a few other bit’s and pieces. It amazes me what she pretend to be with these things! Way cute photos..
How adorable!!!!! I can’t wait until Aveline gets that old.
Have you considered a helmet for Cordy? Might be a nice investment! J/k.
We have hardwood floors in our home. They are pretty, but not very forgiving. I swear Aveline loses 2 IQ points each times she falls and cracks her head. It is HARD!
I did find a mysterious red mark on her head after “daddy time.”
Hey – I totally just posted my comment for you on my friend Izzy’s blog LOL. She thinks I’m nuts now!
Anyway, what I said was, I love the look. My daughter uses them as blankets for her baby. Nothing like trying to wipe off your hands on a tightly wrapped PO.
And, I didn’t know who POW was, but I do now – and I’m glad you came – I appreciate the roll as well.
Another head injury? Ugh! I swear when my kids tumbled and toppled their way through that phase in life I swore it was just days before Child Protective Services came to haul them away, thinking I was clunking them on the head with blunt objects…
LOL,& those pictures are too cute…
