Milkshake Mustache

Just a little glimpse into the future if he is anything like his daddy.  Oreo cookie milkshakes apparently do a great job making faux facial hair.

Stripper

Kennedy has started taking her shirt off all the time.  I have to admit it was funny at first and now it is just plain vexing!  This is what she looks like at least twice in the night.  Not to mention that sometimes she gets her arms caught and she cries in her crib until we finally go up and rescue her.  I can't wait till it cools off so we can go to one piece jammies.  Hopefully she won't figure out zippers anytime soon.  If so I guess we'll be duct taping them on as someone I know once mentioned she had to do with her daughter.  I guess I can be grateful that so far it is mostly just her pajamas.  I have only seen her take her shirt off in the house a couple of times.  Lets hope that doesn't change or I really will have "that kid" that always strips.  

Emergency

So last week I was upstairs brushing my teeth when Carter came running up with the phone in his hand and tears in his eyes.  He urgently told me to hang up the phone because he didn't know how.  Obviously I was suspicious.  So I hung up the phone and low and behold two seconds later it was ringing.  Can you guess who it was?

Yep, my son has officially learned how to dial 911.  It was Campbell County dispatch.  The woman told me that they had received a call with a hang up.  They returned the call, were hung up on again and then I answered.  Needless to say I was sort of embarrassed and totally apologetic.  October is fire safety month and Carter had been to visit the Fire and Police Stations that week in preschool.  He was also able to practice on a 911 simulator at a safety fair a couple of weeks before that.

Carter ran into the bedroom in a complete melt down.  He certainly knew that what he had done was a big deal and he was upset about it for a good 20 minutes.  So upset in fact I felt no need to discipline him, he'd obviously learned his lesson.  We talked about what had happened later when he was calm.  All in all, it was rather comical.  I seem to remember doing something similar at some point in my childhood.
