Splish Splash They Were Taking a Bath

Don't worry, Jace...it's modest.

Milk Mustache

This is what happens when Silas nurses. If only he had his mouth open in this picture. He has the cutest little purple tongue.

Eyebrow Cold and Random Gideonisms

First of all, Gideon's eyebrows really were sick...or at least his sinuses were, which is close enough. He's been on antibiotics and is doing much better. Now for some randomness. I've probably told most of you about our maintenance man. He has a long beard and long hair, wears a bandana, and has earings. He looks like a pirate. And Gideon is forever pointing out that he looks like a pirate. When Gideon shrieks, "Look mom, a pirate man!" I usually tell him quietly and urgently, "That's not a pirate. It's our maintenance man." Well, yesterday morning I put on a bandana to cover up my ugly hair. Gideon looked at me excitedly and asked, "You a pirate, mom?" I responded in the affirmative. Then Gideon said, "You're not a pirate! You're a maintenance man!" Next random bit... Gideon knows that he weighs 28 lbs. He likes stepping on the bathroom scale, looking at the error message because he didn't wait for it to calibrate, and then proclaiming, "28 pounds!" He also pulls out the measuring tape and says, "28 pounds!" I'm not sure how he figured out which things are measurement scales, but he's convinced that all measurement scales equal 28 pounds. When the nurse at the doctor's office asked him how old he was, he responded, "28 pounds!" This morning he was watching Sesame Street and I leaned over the computer to see if it was almost done. "How much is left?" I asked aloud. "28 pounds." I wonder what 28 pounds of Sesame Street looks like...
