When Hannah is concerned about monsters in her room at bedtime, Rob tells her he doesn’t allow monsters in the house and he gets out a box to gather them up wherever she says they are. Then she watches him take them out to the recycle bin. One morning she asked where the box from the night before was.
Rob: ”I put it into the recycle bin so that we wouldn’t get any monster cooties.”
Hannah: ”But they didn’t have any pooties. They didn’t even need to go to the bathroom.”
Speaking of bathroom humor, here is one from potty training land. Rob took Will to the public bathroom and took advantage of the opportunity for another lesson in standing to pee. Will said, “Wow! It falling down like rain!” And when Rob flushed Will said, “Bye-bye rain!”
Family swim at the YMCA last night. Hannah loves to jump into the pool to Daddy. Will saw her and said, “I jump.” I was surprised both because he had been a little scared of floating with me and also because he formed and pronounced this phrase so well. He jumped and jumped and my arms are killing me this morning. But what a joy to see Will discover and enjoy the world!
