And I carried you for 40 weeks...

The following took place between 7:48 and 7:49 am:

Me: Hey Robert, do you want to go eat some coffee cake that Mama made?"

Robert: Yes!

Me: What kind of coffee cake do you think it is?

Robert: Burnt.

Niiiiiiice.

We're so lucky

It's hard to post about all the cute things that Robert is doing right now when I think about all the 2-year olds ( and everyone else) in Haiti. It is so heartbreaking to think about. Robert would like to urge you all at go to www.redcross.org or www.mercycorp.com and donate. We did and it was easy.

That's it, I'm goin' to Grandma's

The stomach flu edition

We've all been down with the stomach flu so here's the short version of the last couple of weeks:

• Christmas was good, though Robert was very impatient with the whole unwrapping-presents thing, and spent a good bit of the time under the dining room table playing with tissue paper. People foolishly bought him nice presents when they could have just wrapped up boxes with tissue paper.
• Robert is talking up a storm. "Come over here and sit down, Mama." "I put a banana in my pocket." "That's so silly, Mama." (This in response to me trying to put his socks on his hands, which, was, in fact, too silly. But so is putting a banana in your pocket, little man.)
• His sleeping schedule has been really screwed up since the whole stomach flu. Last night he didn't go to bed until 11, and it's 9 am and he's still asleep. And, of course, I should go wake him up, but 90210 is on...
• We've had 4 weeks of sinus infections, ear infections, the stomach flu. I'm ready for a little bit of healthy, happy Robert time.
