And Round One Goes To....the coffee table

We had dinner with friends tonight and they asked what happened to Ethan's eye. I didn't realize (until then) that I never posted on his first set of stitches (the glue kind). Ethan had a small run in with the coffee table and I think the table won. He's just fine now and the scar is not as bad as I thought it would be. I think the worst part of this battle was when the doctor removed the glue from his eyebrow - it was like watching a 1 year old get HIS eyebrow waxed.

THEN & NOW:

Halloween Page

I'm obviously playing catch up - just wanted to post my Halloween page.

Halloween Pictures

Better late than never! Our little one's survived Halloween - but barely! Grace decided to attempt a reenactment of Halloween when she was two. Just before leaving she decided not to wear her costume. She wanted nothing to do with it. The only costume she would consider was a princess dress, which was not an option since we weren't at home. In the end she did finally cave (as you can see) and we had a wonderful night. Grace dressed as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and Ethan was her sidekick, a Munchkin from the Lollipop Guiled.

Political Confusion

So for those who know my family best, you probably know who we voted for without me saying a word. That said, Joey and I have made it a point to not discuss our political views with Grace. She sees the candidates on TV and she loves to say ‘Barack Obababama’ (with the extra baba in the middle). When Grace would talk about Obama we made it a point to talk about McCain so she would better understand what was going on and see both sides. Since the primary election we’ve been reading the book Grace For President it’s a great kids book used to teach how an election works (plus we love it b/c it has Grace’s name of course!).

So here’s the point of confusion… (Note this all happened a couple days before the election)

This week Grace’s teacher asked her who she wanted to vote for. I was 100% sure Grace would say “Barack Obababama” simply because she loves to say his name! To my surprise Grace told her teacher that she wanted to vote for McCain and she wanted McCain to win. That evening we talked more about the election and explained the voting process (yet again) without any bias. When it came time to put Grace to bed she said a simple prayer and finished it with, “and I pray Obababama will be a good president”.

Now that the election is all done Grace has started to ask who I wanted to win. I love the questions and being on my toes all the time!
