When he gets a set of dinosaurs for Christmas, complete with a cave that has a skull that doubles as a trap door for catching unsuspecting caveman figurines and his pretend play follows this dialogue:
DINOSAUR 1: Hi! How you?
DINOSAUR 2: Fine! How you?
DINOSAUR 1: Fine! Kiss?
(puts dinosaurs’ faces together)
DINOSAUR 2: Mwah!
DINOSAUR 1: Thank you!
DINOSAUR 2: OK! Let’s go Grammas!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: How do you say no to this face?
ANSWER: You don’t. You give it whatever it wants and then kiss it a whole bunch and let it have lots of cookies.
Not much up here these days. Christmas has kept me busy. Every time I turn around there’s something else I forgot to buy, or prepare, or cook.
The baby’s also starting to wear me out more, as I head into the last lap here. Baby 66% downloaded. I am pretty sure I’m gestating an actual ninja, as he regularly attempts to kick and punch his way out of my abdomen. He’s way more active (and mean!) than Liam was. When I lay on my left side, he lets himself sink to the bottom and it weighs a ton and feels totally gross. Then he’ll decide he’ll head southbound, and plant himself really low, which makes me have to pee. Although it is easier to breathe.
Liam still hasnt completely come to grips with the whole New Baby Concept. He knows, but I suspect he doesn’t truly believe. And he probably won’t until the baby’s here. I think my belly freaks him out. I showed it to him while the baby was kicking, so he could see my belly move and before he could even see anything, he said, “No, no tummy! Shirt on!” and pulled my shirt back down. He’ll have nothing to do with it. Unless he needs to kick it during a diaper change, or dig his elbow into it when getting out of a chair we’re sharing.
So it snowed the other day and Liam had a pretty good time playing in it with Adam. I took pictures, but declined to be photographed myself, as I resemble the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Actually, if you want an idea of how I look, you can pretend the snowman here is me. Except he has more of a tan.
