Stuff You Ought to Know

I'm closing the two polls on Sunday night so feel free to cast your votes if you haven't! I have to make way for new, more important polls like which super hero powers would you want and how long do you find it socially acceptable to eat food after it's been dropped on the floor (OK, you mommies out there KNOW you do it!!!!!).

"She's still, she's still Jenny from the Blog"...alright, it was a dumb J. Lo reference...for the record, I don't even like J. Lo.

Anyway, we had lunch with Jen from Three Shades of Blue (go visit her!) and her two little ones, Logan and Miles, yesterday at a great little place called Ella's Deli. Lots of flying mechanical things overhead to occupy the kids' attention during the meal! At one point Grace and I were watching Miles and it took EVERYTHING Grace had in her to not actually touch the baby. She was squealing with delight at him (with only partially woke him up from his milk-induced-coma thankfully!) and flapping her hands. I only hope she is this enthusiastic at the prospect of a full-time baby on the premises in a few months.

We are getting Grace to practice saying the two potential names for her sibling...Jack (pronounced as by Miss Grace as "Kack") and Elle ("Eh")...very cute! I'm just a little sad that she still won't say "Mama" or "Mommy"...yesterday in the car we said, "Say mama" and she said, "Bop." Hmmmmm...

This weekend's exciting plans include the continuation of Adventures in Baby Furniture Shopping which you can all be glad that you are not present for. There's nothing like getting ready to drop a boatload of money on furniture (which coincidentally is nicer that Mommy and Daddy's furniture!) with your 15 month old running amuck in the store. Sadly I cannot even enjoy a beer to help numb the financial pain.
