Watch what you say

Calvin said "G%d d@#n it's hot" tonight referring to his french toast sticks.  He already said it once a few weeks ago.  We asked the daycare lady if she knew anything about it and she told us that she said it once when she dropped something.  Perhaps it is a little more of an occurrence than we originally thought.  We'll have to mention something to her again tomorrow.

We don't let the kids watch TV so they didn't get it from TV.  Who knows if they see TV at daycare.  We said that we don't want them watching it, but it's not like we really know what goes on at daycare each day.  We had originally thought we would wait until the kids were two years old to let them watch TV, but now we decided to hold off as long as we can.  I figure it's good for them to entertain themselves with something other than a television.

Speaking of TVs, our new house has a full basement and a media room in the basement.  A media room that is almost never used.  I have a new TV and 7.1 surround sound hooked up, but I'm a little too busy to play video games or watch TV myself.  There are plenty of times that I would like to go down and play the PS3 or Wii, but by the time we get the kids in bed and our stuff ready for the next day there isn't much time left.  I know that if I get started on something I'll continue for a while and won't get in bed until really late.  Then I would pay for it the next day.  And it's not like I have an easy job.  I'm am busy 100% of the time I am at work.

Erin talked to the Pediatrician today about Carter's eyes.  The Pediatrician said that we shouldn't worry about it and that it's completely normal for babies.  Apparently no one knows why it happens, but there is nothing that they can do about it and it will eventually go away.  It's hard not to worry about one of your kids when you see something that is not perceived as normal, but if a doctor says it's normal then we'll do our best not to focus on it.  He seems to do it more when he gets excited or when he's tired.  Of course Carter is always smiling and happy so it's hard for him not to get excited.

Carter has reached the stage where he loves to roll over and over and over.  Unfortunately he does it in his crib and then he won't go to sleep.  So we have to keep going in and flipping him on his back.  I have no idea why he won't flip on his back in the crib, but he will on the floor.  Maybe the matress is too soft for him to flip back?

Aubrey made a mess of herself at dinner tonight.  She has a habit of grabbing the spoon and holding it.  She pretends to feed herself, but really she just gets food all over and like to chew on the spoon.

One of the things that is a little harder with Carter and Aubrey than when Calvin and Brayden were this age is that Calvin and Brayden always were the same size.  They always drank the same amount of formula, ate the same amount of baby food, used the same size diapers, etc.  Carter is a little bigger than Aubrey (which is to be expected) so he has always been one size up from her.  This may not sound like much, but having to check the diaper size and bottles and everything else is harder than not having to worry about it.
