Feeding Time

I was called to the living room by my son to see the "hurricane that Abigail made!" When I left the living room, both of them we seated enjoying some popcorn while watching a movie. Donny has been sick for the past three days and I am trying anything to keep things calm. I couldn't believe the mess Abigail created. When I asked why there was popcorn all over the floor, she told me she was feeding the chickens. I would like to thank Mr. Disney for all of the scenes in Cinderella that Abigail loves to recreate. Including the scene, I can't seem to remember, that has Cinderella undressing behind the living room chair. I'm pretty sure when she emerges she is wearing clothes unlike Abigail who emerges completely naked. She is napping at the moment wearing her bathing suit because it is the only thing she would keep on her body.

Danger!

Donny's room became my ironing headquarters today. When I was finished, I unplugged the iron and shut the door behind me. I was afraid Abigail would pull the iron down on her head. Well, I forgot to put the iron and board away. When Donny returned from school, he opened his door looked in and told Big Daddy there was "an adult thing" in his room. The adult thing was promptly removed. Heaven forbid we go down the road of the dangers of an iron. I am still confirming that he is alive every time he eats.

Cinderella and Her Dress

Abigail loves Cinderella. The first dress came from Aunt Kee-Kee and was cousin Molly's recital dress. Big Daddy didn't care for it too much because it was a bit long and Cinderella's feet would get stuck. He fixed that problem by bringing home a shorter dress and Cinderella fell in love. This dress also came from Aunt Kee-Kee, but belonged to the piano teachers' child, ice skating perhaps. Dress two became an actual outfit that Cinderella insisted on wearing everywhere we went. On Saturday Cinderella played at Aunt Kee-Kee's while Donny went to a birthday party. Imagine my surprise when I received a picture of Cinderella in yet another blue dress with sparkles and I think we all know where Cinderella picked up this item. On the way home from Aunt Kee-Kee's Donny asked, "How many blue dresses does Abigail need?"

Am I Alive?

I have really messed up this time! Since Donny and I had the choking discussion, I have had to reassure Donny that he is still alive. Every time he puts a bite of food in his mouth and swallows he asks me if he is still alive. After the 800th time I answered him, I really wanted to tell him, no. Considering I am to blame for the situation, I guess this is my punishment. He went to a birthday party over the weekend and didn't eat anything but his cupcake. I guess it is okay to die choking on a cupcake. Speaking of cupcakes...just a heads up for any parent who must send cupcakes with their allergic child. Red velvet cake may seem like a good idea because the child misses out on the really good stuff, but said child may look like he or she was playing with knives after eating the bright red confection. It also stains everything including fingers, faces and clothes.

Happy St. Patty's!

Choking Hazard

I was reading with Donny before bed the other night and he was gargling with his water. I told him to stop or he would choke. He said he didn't care and then I lost my mind and asked if he know what it meant to choke. I don't know what I was thinking, but I told him he could die if he choked. Since then anything he or Abigail eats must be diced. I served french toast for breakfast and was told to cut the pieces much smaller. Donny refused to eat dinner tonight for fear of dying. I'm not sure how long this will go on, but he will be hungry soon.

Hello Again!

I apologize for the absence and have been told that I need to get back to blogging, so here I am. Things have been quite crazy for us for the past two weeks, but I think we may be slowing down.

Car Conversation

Overheard on the way to school today:
"Abigail, call me when you get your priorities straight." "It doesn't work that way Donny."
