Cute things our kids do (Isn't that what every post should be titled?)

Erica saw a bald man on TV and said, "That man has no hair." Then she touched her own head and said, "I have yes hair!"

Mary Lane has a cold, fussy and doesn't want to be put down to play. I have great intentions of trying to keep Erica busy but not in front of a video nonstop all day. I've been putting her off of a video, suggesting other activities like reading books together and playing "Tangoes." Finally thought Mary Lane was going to need to eat early since she has been so fussy, so I offered a video while I got ready to feed Mary Lane. As soon as I turned on "Hi Five," Mary Lane got quiet and has been happily rolling around on the floor with Erica, listening to the music from the video.

Must bring "Tangoes" to Texas or find something similar to show Texas grandparents how smart Erica is with tangrams.

Few Unrelated Tidbits

Erica watching me get ready this morning:

Erica: What's that?
Mommy: Deodorant.
E: I need some.
M: No you don't.
E. I need some.
M: You can use some when you grow up. Most people don't need deodorant until they get B.O... maybe when you turn 12.
E: I have B.O. (Pause) I will have B.O. maybe when I'm 5.
M: OK.

Just so I remember why I'm trying this today:

Mary Lane has been having a hard time napping at school. I've been looking for a cordless fan to make white noise near her school crib where there is no plug. They play classical lullibies in the background, I think those might be unfamiliar to what she hears at home so she wakes up.

Well duh -- Why not put on classical music at home so she can get to used to it and sleep better at school? Why try to reinvent things that are working at school when I can help her get used to it another way? Just a little revelation this morning, trying it out for this morning's nap... so I will see how long this nap with Beethoven lasts:)
