Our friends the Kaes’ children, Kailey and Trystan are over doing homework while Krystal goes and works out with Jessica (my mom will come over and watch the kids shortly). Abby was going pee-pee in the potty and was so delighted when she was done that she exclaimed, "Kailey, I’m working on my vocabulary!" Yeah, she’s good.

Big Small Cup
The larger cups that we give Abby her milk in in the morning were dirty so I told Abby I’d have to give her a smaller cup. Jessica suggested I wash a larger cup (which had milk from the night before in it, so I declined for reasons of bacteria and not laziness). Abby’s response to Jessica was priceless, "It’s a small bigger cup, Mom."
Icky Pants
I cracked up this morning as Abby ran by my door with some coins she pilfered from my change jar saying, “Come on dad, I need to put some coins in my icky pants.” Of course she was talking about her Piggy Bank. She made the icky pants later when she failed to tell us that she had to go potty 🙁
Happy Birthday Abby!
On August 22nd, 2004 at 2:12 (14:12:00) Abigatil Ruth was born to our family. Today she’s two, tomorrow she’s 2 and 1/365th.
This last week she used several funny phrases but one that cracked me up was her excitement about "Schunday School."
Picking Your Nose
This morning Abby picked her nose while in bed with us (getting nothing substantially thank goodness) and I pulled her finger out and said, “We don’t pick our noses.” She quickly re-instered her finger and said, “I smell funny.”
Eels and Escalators
This morning Abby wanted an eel. Not just any eel, but the red one with spots on it. Grandpa looked blankly at the counter where Abby was pointing wondering what the eel was. It is my duty as a father to know what it is she wants: dice. There were two dice on the counter and Abby wanted them to play eels and Escalators. Eels and Escalators is a game on a Sponge Bob Squarepants episode (“Sailor Mouth” for those of you keeping track).
Who’d’a thunk it?
White Castle
I have never eaten at a White Castle Hamburger Restaurant. Today, yet again, we passed one and I mentioned I have not eaten there. Every time I mention this (which is rarely) all those present say, “You’re lucky!” Or other phrases presenting to me the general idea that White Castle is not America’s favorite fast food chain. The other thing that happened after saying this was that Jessica said, “Oh, My gosh! He talks about that all the time.” This sort of inference is wrong and should not be made… I talk about it each time I pass one… mostly to see if Jessica will remind me that I’m going to be disappointed.
Right now my standards for White Castle are so low [given their reputation] that I think that as long as it’s not manure with spit between two pieces of moldy bread I’ll be impressed.
Oh, speaking of potty humor, this morning Abigail was waiting for her bath while Jessica was going to the bathroom and when Jessica had finished Abigail exclaimed, “Good job, you went to the potty, Mommy!” The potty training must be working 🙂
