Bas says "car" now! This is very exciting and useful to our lives.
Get him this book! Amazon tells me I bought it last July, when E was 21 months--it was an immediate hit. Very simple, but he looooved it, and still has us read it regularly.
We always read this page in a "command" voice, because it looks like the guy is ordering around the mechanic:

Doing it! Well, I'm going to get the French version out of the library (there's a truck book too!) and see if he likes it.
Trucks is good, too! So weird to me, because the illustrations are so primitive and there isn't much of a story, but these books are toddler crack. I will say there's a good plot twist at the end of "My Car."
My kid was totally content with just eating ketchup for dinner. She wouldn't touch her chicken, beans or potato. I opted to give her a package of peanut butter crackers and she's happily eating them. So ketchup and PB crackers it is. Not the most balanced dinner but oh well.
@lcap, I'm sorry. I admit I'd be pretty concerned if H had that many collisions in that period of time, no matter how minor, unless they were clearly not his fault.
Ugh, I'm sorry. I hit a curb last month and fucked up my steering, and my DH was so pissed at me. He doesn't get how I do these things and he doesn't.
I officially passed my probation at work! WOOT WOOT!!!
Why are men such assholes sometimes?? I hit a pothole and got a flat and didn't hear the end of it. H did the same and was all "it was dark! The roads are treacherous! The city should pay!"
LOL. He's not really an asshole. Just gets a bit holier than thou sometimes until I knock him back down
I had a horrible migraine today and even with meds it went down to a normal headache Dh came home a bit early so I could rest but is playing SO LOUDLY with DS it's hard not to rage about it.
I'm on the train and have nothing to read because...
I finished my book at work. :-\ Just another highly productive day at the office.
The one time I was flashed on the El was also the one time I did not have a book with me. Some dude was standing in front of me (I was seated facing the aisle) on a crowded red line train on a Cubs game day and he had his fly open. I didn't notice until there was... ummmmm, movement. Then I beelined off at the next stop which fortunately was mine.
Hope your book free train experience was better than mine.
@lcap so sorry about your accidents. I had a week like that in June... I bumped someone (no damage) on a Tuesday and then totaled my car on a Thursday. Ugh.
My H was incredibly understanding about it but I still sort of beat myself up over it. Somehow there is nothing like a car accident to make me feel like a stupid idiot. I don't know why I take them so hard.

One kid asleep, one to go. It has been an anything that can go wrong will go wrong kind of day. From getting ds1 excited about going to see the fish at the mall and discovering the fish pond that's been there since my childhood is gone, to realizing we brought the car without a stroller so we had to carry the baby everywhere, to dh biting his tongue to bleeding, to walking from the mall to Walmart to buy yogurt only to discover that the refrigerator area was shut down, to dh breaking one of my favourite mugs, to dh spraining his wrist, to neither kid napping all day so from about noon on the sound of whining was constant. Etc etc etc. I'm exhausted.
I don't know what we did to piss off karma but I hope she's done with us and lets me drink a glass (bottle?) of wine in peace.

lol seriously!! That shit has totally happened in our household.
It irritates me on gbcn how they always have cutesy names for randoms. Also I am sad my first bmb is now 95% randoms. I can only keep up with one set of randoms (and even then I'm spotty).
I think it was through your post that I ended up over there a few days ago. I somehow ended up reading a really long thread of people doing a "Whole30"--in quotes, because really that's not what 95% of them were doing. Some seemed to think it meant eating as few calories as possible (like, "lunch: an orange and a handful of almonds"), some were doing it but still drinking alcohol, one just wasn't anywhere close ("lunch: turkey lunch meat, hummus, and a Diet Pepsi"). I mean, whatever, eat what you want, but then don't claim to be doing a Whole30!
P weighed in at 8 lb 11 oz today. He's within normal weight gain limits but still sooo small. He's almost 2 months old and swimming in 0-3 clothes still!
I am still worried about possible reflux though. It seems like all the other babies in the BF group just have skyrocketed in weight gain at some point except him.

You guys, H has a MAN COLD. Except it's worse because there is something going on with his throat that he can't explain. He woke me up from a good dream last night so he could look in my throat to compare it to his. I managed to talk him down (half-asleep, remember) from going to the ER, but since his doctor can't see him for a few days, he's contemplating urgent care. I'm trying not to be completely insensitive (I brought him soup for lunch!), but seriously.
MIL is also a hypochondriac, and I blame her for this nonsense.
"Mom? Can I help you tidy the house? Because I know you have a lot of things to do and not enough time to get them all done."
OMG. Do you guys remember how I used to be on here all the time bitching about how 3 was the worst age ever and 3-year-olds are assholes and someone please come take my threenager away from me?
WELL 4 IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I LOVE 4. NEVER GET OLDER THAN 4, DD1.

At the ER with DS2.
I brought him to the pedi b/c he has a new cold and is wheezing. Pedi sent him straight to the ER b/c his pulsox was 85. So I shlepped 3 kids to the ER and his pulsox is 98. Little booger. He's seen 2 nurses so we're just waiting for the dr to see him and send us home.
Luckily DH was able to come and pick up the big kids after about an hour. He also brought me a giant bag combos, lol.

I bought Blue Bunny Birthday Party ice cream the other day on a whim. I like it way more than any adult should. We're all having a tiny scoop now. I have plans for more after the kids go to bed.
DD asked me to play music in the car this afternoon (why I never keep up on the news lately). Then she got more specific: "I want to hear Animals! I like that song!" I was kind of impressed with her clear articulation of preferences while also sad she chose a Maroon 5 song of middling quality. It was the second song they played, haha.

A has 2 molars starting to come in and a bad cough. She didn't eat any dinner to speak of and REFUSED to nurse. I'm trying to not be upset about the not bfing, but not succeeding.
Phish tour dates should come out tomorrow! Finally I will be able to make summer plans!
If rumors are to be believed I am going to make it to somewhere between 4 and 9 shows this summer. 7 is probably the most likely scenario and I'll be happy with that.
The kids are both destroying the house in their own separate ways right now. Dd1 sounds like she is throwing Legos all around the living room, and dd2 is trying to put on every pair of pants she owns, pulling them out of her dresser drawer one by one.
