in my medicine cabinet

i remember once emily posted a list of what was in her medicine cabinet. well today i was cleaning the bathroom, and was putting some stuff away in the medicine cabinet and found this...



dan mentioned donating his beard to locks of love (for those poor prepubescent kids who can't grow beards), but i didn't know he was serious.

is it normal for your 20 month old daughter to call you by your first name?

genius

i was just asking dan how to spell genius for a comment on liz's blog, i still don't know if i spelled it right. dan said "you're the bookworm, don't ask me. all i can come up with is f-a-r-t." he's such a boy.

speaking of genius kids and potty talk, annie used the big potty yesterday just like a real person. it was a celebration of sorts, and i don't know if she understands what all the fuss was about, but we were proud parents anyway.

destined to be a carny

the other day i took annie for a walk and we were passing by the elementary school. we saw a kid riding his unicycle home from school. that was pretty cool. a few minutes later, we saw another kid riding a unicycle home. what are the odds? and the plot thickens... i have had three next-door neighbors join the circus. two from when we lived in willow creek area, and one where my parents live now. i think i am destined for the big top. i don't think i would be a very good trapeze artist, or clown, but maybe i could run one of the rides, or let people throw ping pong balls to try to win a stuffed animal or sell churros or something.

too bad she's too young to appreciate this
