Things That Make Me Go Hummmmm.....

I am still perplexed as to why Noggin would choose to title their new cartoon, "Toot & Puddle." Maybe when they were brainstorming character names, a raging stomach virus was sweeping through the building. Still, every time my kids watch it, I giggle then resist a strong urge to run to the restroom.


I have no idea why Lucas' hair has chosen to take on a life of its own this week and mimic Ace Venture Pet Detective's signature 'do. It was crazy all day yesterday, then after bath last night, it popped right back into its new, altered state.

On Tuesday night, our friends let us watch their 3, very cool kids. Emily and I have always talked about the remarkable similarities between their 3 and our oldest 3. Bailey and Elizabeth are hardcore nurturers and the ideal big sisters. William and Ashlee are affectionate, passionate children with a zeal for life (although I doubt William has quite the dramatic tendencies that Ashlee does). The most similar are Jonathan and Lucas. Both boys are incredibly independent, high energy and hard headed determined. When they first arrived, I was busy getting dinner prepared so I pulled out some playdough and they 6 kids quietly sat down and played (I'm telling you, these are 3 VERY good kids...and then our 3, which at times are questionable). The funniest part was that the kids paired up with their "personality twins" and worked diligently together. It helps that our kids adore them and that they are awesomely patient with ours.

It's hard to believe that my littlest boy will be NINE months old tomorrow. Time has flown by! Baby D now has TWO teeth and started army crawling last week. So I don't understand why yesterday, in the middle of the G.A.L. visit, he decided it was time to pull up, onto his knees. Seriously dude! You JUST started crawling. Let's only accomplish 1 milestone a month, mmkay?

Baby Girl is doing well, and her plan still remains TPR (Termination of Parental Rights). Right now, we are just waiting and waiting. With that said, someone PLEASE tell me why it could take up to a year for the courts to get their ducks in a row so that she could legally be free for adoption?

Yeah, that's what I said.
