I had a great birthday yesterday! First of all, Adam was off work. Then, his mom watched Erick for us while we went to the temple. Then, we went to E-Ka Japanese Cuisine and enjoyed a great and expensive dinner. Then, Dylan and Lisa and Michael came over to watch a movie. They brought "Stardust". It was awesome. The whole day was awesome. Yay!
Get a two year old to massage your face. It feels really good, and Erick likes to keep doing it because I make funny faces and noises to keep him interested. The cost? Well, it's that brief moment of pain when his fun/innocence turns into evil/maliciousness, and his razor-sharp fingernails that I haven't cut yet try to give you a micro-dermabrasion treatment. Just remember to not close your eyes, remain eye contact through entire massage, and you'll notice the change in their eyes before any damage can occur.
So here is what Tripp looked like a couple months ago. I didn't get many pictures of him, only these two. She said she almost didn't get all the measurements that she needed, because he wouldn't move, and he was being rather modest. But she got a good shot of his "boyhood" and a somewhat profile, use your imagination on that one folks. His nose is white. So whatever angle he was in made it reflect white, but that's just to give you a hint in case you are like Rachel on friends and can't read an ultrasound, like most people.
What is it about purses, handbags, and diaper bags that intrigue children to pull everything out of them? I have to admit I get pretty defensive about my bags, and I don't like little hands going through them and switching things up. I mean, I am totally organized as it is, and I don't need any rearranging. So here we are, I'm at the computer and Erick is bringing me all the contents of my diaper bag. I have children's Tylenol, orajel, his sippy cup, wipes, my antacid tablets, and an eyeglass case all displayed before me, so far. Why have I not gotten up to stop him you say? Well, I probably need to clean it out anyway. The rest of the bag's contents are on the floor at his feet and I think he has found what looks like a necklace to play with, it's not mine so I'm stumped there.
