Out of the mouths of babes

So as I sit here today doing my ritual blog stalking while Nate takes care of the kids in the other room. Well let me clarify, Nate watching football while the kids run amok. This is what I hear:

Bristol: Daddy, Kali has a star. (referring to Kali's Christmas ornament from last year)

Pause

Bristol: (A little annoyed sounding) Daddy, Kali has a star.

Pause

Bristol: (more annoyed) Daddy, Kali has a star.

Pause

Bristol: (annoyed) Nate!

Nate: Yeah Bristol.

Bristol: Kali has a star.

The great thing is this is the second time this situation has happened. The previous time she even leaned in front of him to block the TV while calling him Nate.

Another experience we had the other day was I was getting Bristol dressed and was pulling up her tights. She stops me and says, "Mom you gave me a wedge". I quickly apologized while helping her fix the problem and trying not to laugh.I didn't want to end the post without a picture. She is eating an Oreo cookie.

This is so funny. Tell Bristol I feel her pain. (the part about talking to Nate and him not answering)

Cute, Bristol sounds adorable! Your stories made me laugh!

Wow! That reminds of the days when I would call Nate and if he was watching TV it was over. You have to convince him to turn it off before he'll be able to pay attention. He gets sucked into the TV. Like the Riddler's plan in Batman Returns (I think with Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones).

That made me laugh! Matt does the same thing. Cute pictures.

Jeff can feel your pain. I'm like Nate -- once I'm totally focused on something it takes a while for anything else to get through. :)
