What he Said, and an Announcement

1. What He Said:

Owen, the first (and thus far only) child to arrive, trots past me, leaving a foul miasma in his wake.

"Owen, do you have a poo?"

Owen's usually pretty good at knowing, and quite helpful about it all. This is the boy who's been known to tell me he has a poop, then trot over to the diaper table, lift HIS diaper off HIS stack of diapers, and lie down on the floor with the diaper on his tummy, awaiting my arrival. Not bad, huh?

"No."

No? I guess it could have been gas, but it's awfully long-lasting gas...

"Are you sure?"

"No." ... "Ah-tid."

Astrid? Astrid, who has yet to arrive? Mwah-ha. Nice try, kiddo.

He was very gracious in defeat, however, and much sweeter-smelling in about two minutes!

2. An Announcement:

As the CBC is now informing me most days that the UV index is moderate to very high, the time has come for sunscreen. If you have not yet provided me with a bottle to stay in their bucket here, it's time to do that.

Also, would you please start putting sunscreen on your child before he/she arrives, so they're all ready for our morning outing? I will reapply after nap, so they're all ready for their trip home!

Thank you!
