Literally

Lately, Rob has been taking the boys to his barber for haircuts. Trevin was sitting in the chair and the girl who was cutting his hair asked him to look down at his toes. He looked down, thought for a second, and said "But, I have my shoes on!". Sometimes they take things so literally!

Kisses anyone?

The boys are obsessed with Rob's little red car. They call it Lightning McQueen or the race car. When they were about 2 1/2, Trevin figured out how to open the car doors. We didn't really think it was a big deal; we'd just take out the keys and put on the parking break. He would sit in there and 'drive' forever. One day he was 'driving' and apparently got bored. He came out of the car looking like this:

Surely you're wondering what mascara has to do with a toddler's pretend drive in daddy's race car. Well...I have a little habit of putting on mascara while in the car (yeah, yeah...I know...that's not safe. I don't do it while I'm actually driving, so relax!). Anyway, he found a leftover mascara stick while playing in the car and decided to put on his face like mommy! Pretty, huh?! You should see the mirror and upholstery. They make his face look great!

Unfortunatley, that day we also learned that car CD players don't respond well to being stuffed with dimes and quarters. We're still suffering the results of that experiment!

It's Getting Better!

I decided to make a special treat for the boys after baths a few nights ago. Strawberry shortcake!! After taking a couple bites Mekhi stopped eating and said he his tummy hurt. He truly looked like his stomach was upset, so I told him he probably shouldn't eat any more dessert if he had a stomach ache. Of course he couldn't resist! He'd eat a few bites then stop and whine about his tummy. Eventually we looked over and saw that he had finished the dessert and was actually licking the Cool Whip off the plate! Rob and I automatically asked him if his tummy was feeling better. In between licks he managed to say, "It's getting better!"
