I'm playing with my new iPod Nano testing out the video element.

Overheard

Stealing shamelessly from my friend Future Poltergeist's posts about his daughter, this is what I just heard while playing downstairs with Claire while she was in the process of taking off her socks and yanking her pants up to her knees.

"Ohhh.... I see some ew-sock. I must get it out."

And another one...

"You want a donut? You must be at church." Apparently the last time she went to mass it was Summit Sunday (our church's name for coffee & donuts) and it made quite an impression on her, eh? Unfortunately, the donut she offered me was plastic.

Green eggs & ham

Claire loves herself some Dr. Suess. One of her favorites is Green Eggs & Ham. For dinner this evening Pete dyed some scrambled eggs and ham green and we had them for dinner. They were a hit!



A friend posted about her daughter not knowing what commercials were because she has only seen DVR episodes of shows. I commented back to her if it wasn't for football and baseball Claire would be the same. It reminded me of something Claire has been doing lately. We turn on a toddler music station that we can get on our cable provider. Sometimes Rock-a-bye baby comes on. I have changed the words to the song to Rock-a-bye Claire. Whenever she hears it on the TV she asks why they aren't singing Rock-a-bye Claire. "Want Rock-a-bye Claire". I have to explain that they don't know that song. But to a two-year-old, that doesn't make sense. Ahh.... the innocence.

Dad's little helper

Little Ms. Ladybug

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!!

Eating her candy. She was pretty hopped up, even though we only let her eat two small pieces of candy. She had a great time going to a few more houses than last year and watching the other kids come and go.
