Oh so we've reached THAT stage have we?
Every morning when I go into the nursery, Abby has managed to unzipper her PJs *just* a little more… Today they were a completely off. I live in fear of the day she figures out she can also take off her diaper and smear poo all over the wall. I believe there is a roll of duct tape in my future.
Respecting John M-Who?
J-man in the car this morning: "Abba, if Bionicles were alive, they wouldn't respect John McCain."
S is pretty sure J was having auditory hallucinations.
Not funny, but heart-melting:
Ellie says "Mama" now, and means it. I touch her nose and say "Ellie" and she touches my nose and says "Mama!" It's so cute. :) If I'm in the kitchen and she's in the highchair, she turns to look at me and calls "Mama!" Hooray! (this reminds me I still haven't written a post about the speech therapy consult or subsequen therapy plan)

Every day when I walk in the house, Sam looks up, drops what he's doing and runs over "aaahh!!!" he screams and immediately begs to be picked up. Then he snuggles in tight for a hug. But don't try to snuggle too long – he's got important things to play with!

Oh yes, I know that one. Little man L can take off his pants and his diaper!
YUMMM-EE! Oh, and you might want to try either putting on her pjs backwards (if they’re not footed), or put a onesie on top of it. It may not be 100% foolproof, but it’s a good stalling tactic.
Hope you’re doing better! Are you holding it together? You’re a great mom, I can tell. Thanks for sharing… 🙂
Greaat tidbits. Abby’s got the skillz!
ooh, I just love it when they come running when I walk in the door. It is the best feeling in the world.
Mine haven’t started mama yet. Callie will attempt to call almost anyone else by name, but not me!
They sound wonderful!
I try not to tell her I am coming so when I get there I can surprise Niecey (and because sometimes things come up and I don’t leave the day I planned and it upsets her), the look on her face when she sees me is priceless =3. When I lived there I loved coming home to her after school or work, that elated look they get when they spot you is awesome. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of these things =)!
These are sweet. I enjoyed reading them.

We did backwards PJs for a while, but the girls figured out how to unzip each other. I sewed some twill tape around the neck (to prevent simply pulling them down) and put in grommets so we could thread a ziptie through the zipper top. When they outgrew those PJs, I switched to masking tape around their diapers, and we’re still doing that.
