Funny

Gabe's newest word is "funny!" It is so adorable. He will knock down some blocks, laugh, and say "funny!" Little does he know how funny he really is. He also calls all animals "horse" and any moving vehicle he calls "truck". I will often hear Evelyn correcting him in the back seat. "No Gabe. That's a bus. B-u-u-u-u-s-s-s. Buh Buh Bus."

Evelyn has a new favorite outfit, which she has now worn two days in a row. She actually asked to get dressed this morning, which never, ever happens. I usually have to keep after her for about 15 or 20 minutes to get herself dressed. And, since she is 3, there is no way she is going to let anyone help her get dressed. I am thinking it might be interesting to see just how many days in a row she will want to wear the same outfit. I will have to sneak it out to wash it, but if she is going to volunteer to get dressed herself, and do so quickly and happily, why should I care if she wears the same outfit all month long?

Yesterday, I looked into little Gabe's mouth, and he has a molar! And not just the beginnings of a molar, but a full fledged one, and another on the way. I feel like such a slacker mom, because I was totally oblivious to it. It did not just break through recently from the looks of it. I would guess it has been there for a few weeks...at least. Maybe it is because I have been engrossed in Harry Potter for several months now. I just finished the last book today. Loved it.

My ring finger problem persists. It is so weird. I have never had this issue before even though I have been wearing it for 6+ years. I keep getting this painful red rash underneath it. Oddly, the same thing happened to my sister several years ago, and she turned out to have a nickel allergy. So, she can't wear her wedding band anymore. I am hoping it is not the same thing for me.
