Not much to report

Just a few pictures and a rather slow day.Bright before breakfast- wearing daddy's hat. He can say "hat"
now.
Do yourself a favor and avoid buying this barnyard bowling game if you don't have more than one child. Why? Because you will be the one setting this up every time your child gleefully knocks it down- which is as soon as you have half of it set up. If you have two or more kids, I say enlist (bribe) one of them to be chief in charge of setup...
Bright has a new obsession with pots and lids- he loves putting the lid on top of the pots in the kitchen, if I let him. They are soooo loud in our kitchen and he seems to enjoy this game as soon as Andy leaves for work at 8:00am, a bit loud for banging like that in an apartment. So, after taking away his lid this morning due to the noise, a meltdown of epic proportions ensued. The only thing that put an end to it was me giving him an olive branch in the form of the strainer- which he promptly bit and left a nice crease in the mesh.

Today was full of ups and downs. Bright only took a half hour nap with me this morning and was pulling at his ears for much of the day. He was pretty good through most of his afternoon playdate and then tried to whack Madelyn in the head with a tupperware bowl. Andy thinks he was trying to put it on her head like the two of them do when they play "Commander Colander and Corporal BowlHead" in the kitchen. Hmmm.. Back to the doc's tomorrow to investigate this ear situation. We'll be seeing her again in a week and a half for his one year but I don' t think we should wait that long. Perhaps we will get the green light for eating eggs and drinking milk while we are there- that would be great. French toast for breakfast with a side of whole milk! He'll be the only one drinking whole milk in this house. I prefer my milk to be as skim as it gets and Andy won't drink the cow. Interesting how the doctors push the cow milk on you as soon as the babes turn this magical number of a year old- suddenly all things previously forbidden are fair game- milk, eggs, honey, etc.
